Vietnam business eVisa
A Vietnam business eVisa covers meetings, negotiations, site visits and conferences for up to 90 days, on a single or multiple entry basis. Government fees start at US$55; our service fee is US$ 59.99 per traveller and is shown separately before checkout.
What a Vietnam business eVisa costs
Two figures make up the total. The government fee is set by Vietnamese immigration and depends on the entry type you choose. Our service fee is flat.
| Entry type | Stay | Government fee | Service fee | Total per traveller |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Entry | 90 days | US$55 | US$ 59.99 | US$114.99 |
| Multiple Entries | 90 days | US$80 | US$ 59.99 | US$139.99 |
The service fee is the same US$ 59.99 on every destination and visa type, with no nationality surcharge and no rush surcharge. Government fees are not refundable once submitted; our service fee is refunded if immigration declines the application — see the refund policy.
Single or multiple entry: which one a business trip needs
Both options run to 90 days. The difference is what happens when you leave Vietnam and come back.
Single entry
One arrival. Right for a self-contained trip: fly in, hold your meetings, fly home. If you step out to another country mid-trip the visa is spent, and you would need a new application to return.
Multiple entry
Repeat arrivals within the validity period. Worth the higher government fee when the trip is regional — a Hanoi meeting, a few days in Bangkok or Singapore, then back to Ho Chi Minh City — or when a follow-up visit is likely inside the same window.
Processing time, and what “expedite” actually means
- Standard
- 5 working days
- Faster handling
- On request
Typical review time for a complete business application.
Turnaround as short as 1 working day has been possible for Vietnam, but it depends on document quality and the authority's workload and is not guaranteed. There is no rush tier to buy at checkout and no rush surcharge — the fee is the same. Tell us your travel date before you book and we will say plainly whether it is realistic.
If your meeting is inside the standard window, the honest answer is usually to apply immediately rather than to pay anyone for speed. Applying early is the only thing that reliably shortens the risk.
What business travellers are asked for
A business application starts from the same base as a tourist one, then adds evidence of why the trip is commercial.
- Passport photo page, with validity comfortably beyond your planned departure.
- A recent passport-style photograph that matches the current specification.
- Arrival and departure details, plus where you are staying.
- The Vietnamese company or organisation you are dealing with — many applications are slowed down by a vague or missing counterpart, not by a missing document.
- Where a host company is involved, the invitation or supporting letter they provide.
The live checklist for your exact visa type is on the Vietnam requirements page. Confirm it before payment rather than after.
Business or tourist eVisa?
For Vietnam the two categories run to the same 90 days and, at the time of review, the same government fee per entry type. The category should follow the real purpose of the trip, not the price: entering on a tourist eVisa to do commercial work is the kind of mismatch that causes trouble at the border and on your next application. If the trip exists because of work, apply as business.
