A Vietnamese visa is a type of travel document issued by the competent authorities in Vietnam, granting permission for entry and travel within the country.
An electronic visa (E-visa) is one of the visa categories provided to foreign nationals by the Vietnamese Immigration Department through an electronic system. The Vietnam E-visa is valid for up to 90 days, allowing for either single or multiple entries.
Foreigners located outside of Vietnam who aim to enter the country can apply for the E-visa either personally or through designated agencies and organizations.
