Apply for Emergency Visa to Vietnam

There are three primary ways to obtain an emergency visa: expediting a pending E-visa application, using the emergency E-visa service for new applications, or utilizing the urgent visa on arrival service.

1. Vietnam Expedited E-Visa Service (For Pending Applications)

If you already applied on the official government website and your visa has not been approved yet, we can speed it up:

Contact us via email (sales@visaonlinevietnam.com) or WhatsApp.
Provide your pending E-visa registration code (e.g., E230319USA…) and registered email.
Choose the appropriate processing time (Same day, 1 working day, or 2 working days).
Pay the expedited service fee securely.
Wait for the E-visa to be approved and delivered to your email within the indicated time.

Notes: The expedited fee is non-refundable unless your E-visa is not delivered on time. The application status must be “in processing”. If it is “amending”, you must update your information first.

2. Vietnam Emergency E-Visa Processing (For New Applications)

If you have not applied for your E-visa yet, you can start the emergency visa application as follows:

Contact our support team or visit visaonlinevietnam.com.
Choose the processing time that fits your schedule the most.
Provide the required information (passport data page scan, portrait photo, and flight details).
Review the information carefully and make the payment.
Receive the E-visa by email within the indicated delivery time.

Notes: Emergency E-visa fees are non-refundable once the application is sent for processing. Double-check your information carefully, as E-visas cannot be amended once issued.

3. Vietnam Emergency Visa on Arrival (Air Travel Only)

Visa on arrival is also an option for emergency cases, but it is applicable strictly for air travel arriving at international airports in Vietnam.

Contact us to request an urgent “Visa Approval Letter”.
Provide your personal and travel information.
Receive the pre-approved visa letter in as little as 1-2 working hours.
Print it out, prepare 2 passport photos (4x6cm), and pre-fill the entry/exit form.
Fly and get the visa stamped upon arrival at the visa-on-arrival counter at the Vietnam airport.

Notes: You cannot get a visa directly at a Vietnam airport without prior documentation. The Approval Letter is required before you board your departure flight.

Frequently Asked Questions (QA)

Q1: Can I get an emergency Vietnam E-visa on weekends or public holidays?

A: Yes, Visa Online Vietnam provides specialized weekend and holiday processing for extremely urgent cases. However, since the government Immigration Department is officially closed during these times, this is a premium support service. If your flight departs on a Saturday or Sunday, please contact us immediately via WhatsApp at (+84) 968 18 77 18 for real-time assistance.

Q2: My E-visa application is stuck in the “processing” status for days. Can you speed it up?

A: Absolutely! If you have already applied through the official government portal but are still waiting for approval, we can expedite your pending application. Simply send your E-visa registration code and the email used for the application to sales@visaonlinevietnam.com. We can fast-track the approval process in as little as 1 to 2 working hours.

Q3: Will I get a refund if my expedited E-visa is not delivered on time?

A: Yes. We pride ourselves on reliability. If Visa Online Vietnam fails to deliver your emergency E-visa within the guaranteed timeframe we agreed upon, we will issue a full refund for the expedited service fee.

Q4: What happens if there is a mistake in my pending E-visa application?

A: If the immigration department flags your application as “Amending Required” due to errors (e.g., poor passport photo quality, incorrect passport details), the expedited processing cannot proceed immediately. You must first log into the official portal to update the correct information. Once amended, notify us, and we will step in to fast-track the new review process.

Q5: Can I use the emergency Visa on Arrival (VOA) for land border or seaport crossings?

A: No. The urgent Visa on Arrival option is strictly applicable for travelers arriving by air at designated international airports in Vietnam (such as Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai, Da Nang, etc.). If you are entering Vietnam via a land border crossing or seaport, you must have a fully approved E-visa in hand before you arrive.

Q6: Do I need to print my E-visa, or can I just show it on my phone?

A: While some immigration officers may accept a digital copy on your phone, we strongly recommend printing at least one hard copy of your E-visa. Having a printed physical copy will ensure a smoother, faster check-in process at your departure airport and a hassle-free entry at Vietnam immigration checkpoints.
