Vietnam e-Visa Allows Indian Travellers 90-Day Stays with Multiple Entries

Vietnam has become a popular holiday choice for Indian tourists in recent years. Entry rules are now simpler to support higher visitor numbers. Indian citizens can use an Electronic Visa (e-Visa) with a longer stay limit. The updated rule allows up to 90 days in Vietnam. Travellers can select single or multiple entries for the same trip.

This 90-day stay option replaces older short permits. Multiple entry helps travellers who plan side trips to nearby countries, such as Laos. It allows re-entry to Vietnam without filing a fresh visa request. The change supports budget planning, because it limits repeat application costs. It also helps longer itineraries across more cities and regions.

The Vietnam e-Visa process is fully digital through the official portal. Applicants upload a recent photo and a clear passport copy. The passport must remain valid for six months after the trip. This process reduces the need for paid agents. Details must match the passport exactly. Mismatched names or numbers can delay approval.

Fees differ by entry type, and processing is usually quick. Standard processing takes three to five working days. A single entry e-Visa costs 25 USD, or about ₹2,100. Multiple entry costs 50 USD, or roughly ₹4,200. The maximum stay under this visa is 90 days.

e-Visa Fee (Single)	25 USD (~₹2,100)

Vietnam e-Visa entry points and common mistakes for Indian tourists

Vietnam e-Visa holders can enter through 42 designated border gates. These include major airports in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. Applicants must choose entry and exit points during the form fill. Travellers should match flights to the selected gate. Printed e-Visa copies are often required at checks.

Boarding problems can occur when names or passport numbers are entered incorrectly. Some travellers rely on phone screenshots, which may not be accepted. Carry three printed copies for safer checks at immigration counters. With the digital system and the 90-day limit, planning for 2026 can be easier. Early checks help avoid extra costs from errors.
