Vietnam E-visa Costs $25 Officially; Avoid Scam Sites Charging $80-$200

Vietnam's official e-visa costs $25 for a single entry and $50 for a 90-day multiple-entry option, with all nationalities now eligible. Travellers must use the government portal, evisa.gov.vn, to avoid fraudulent websites charging $80-$200 for identical services. The previous visa-on-arrival scheme for tourists has been entirely discontinued. Processing typically takes three to five working days, though applying two weeks in advance is recommended, especially for holiday periods. Choosing the multiple-entry visa is essential for those planning side trips to countries like Cambodia or Laos, as a single-entry visa expires upon exit.
