Independent visa-handling service. Vietnam Visa by BDA is not affiliated with the Vietnamese government.

What You Need Before You Start

  • A passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended exit from Vietnam.
  • A clear photo of your passport bio page (the page with your name and photo).
  • A passport-style portrait photo: plain white background, taken in the last 6 months, face visible from forehead to chin, no glasses.
  • Your travel dates and intended entry point (airport, land border, or seaport).
  • A payment method: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or JCB.

The 7-Step Process

Our checkout walks through four steps on screen (Applicant Info, Trip Detail, Review, Payment). Here is the full journey, start to finish:

Choose Your Visa

On the Applicant Info step, pick your visa type (1 or 3 months, single or multiple entry) and processing speed (Normal, Urgent, or Super Urgent). The live summary shows your total as you choose.

Enter Arrival Details

Still on Applicant Info: set your date of arrival, date of exit, and your port of arrival from the list of 83 accepted entry points.

Add Applicant Info & Photos

For each traveler, enter full name, gender, date of birth, passport number, and nationality, then upload a face photo and passport bio page. Use "+ Add Applicant" for groups of up to 10.

Provide Trip Details

On the Trip Details step, add your residence address, hotel and flight status, and choose any extra services (travel insurance, car pick-up, airport fast-track).

Review Your Application

On the Review step, check every detail. Our team also reviews it within 2 hours and emails you if anything needs correcting before submission.

Pay Securely

On the Payment step, pay by card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or JCB) through OnePay, our secure payment partner.

Receive Your eVisa by Email

By the deadline of your processing tier, Immigration issues the approved eVisa and we forward it to your email as a PDF. Print it or keep it on your phone, and present it with your passport at the border.

Common Mistakes We Catch (and How to Avoid Them)

  • Name spelled differently from the passport: even a missing middle name causes Immigration to reject the application. Copy directly from the passport's machine-readable zone.
  • Passport expiring within 6 months of travel: Vietnam requires 6 months' validity beyond the planned exit date. If your passport is close, renew it before applying.
  • Wrong entry point category: picking "Hanoi" when you're flying into Ho Chi Minh City is a common mix-up. Listing the wrong entry point doesn't void the eVisa, but Immigration may ask questions on arrival.
  • Photo with shadows, glasses, or off-center framing: these are the #1 reason photos get rejected. Use a recent passport-style photo against a plain white wall, with even lighting.
  • Date format confusion: Vietnam uses DD/MM/YYYY. Our form normalizes this, but double-check the review screen.
  • Travel within 24 hours of submission: even Super Urgent needs a full business day. For sub-24-hour travel, call us before paying: +84 832 320 320.

What Happens on Arrival

When you land at the airport (or arrive at a land border), proceed to the immigration counter as normal. Hand over your passport and either a printed copy of your eVisa or show it on your phone. The officer scans the code, stamps your passport, and you're through. No queue at a separate visa-on-arrival counter, no extra stamping fee.

Tip: Print your eVisa before flying. Some airline check-in agents, especially on connections through Hong Kong, Doha, or Frankfurt, ask to see a paper copy before they'll board you onto the Vietnam-bound leg. Phone displays are accepted at the immigration counter in Vietnam itself, but at the boarding gate, paper is safer.
