Vietnam Business E-Visa - Multiple Entry (90 days)

Contents

    The multiple-entry business e-visa suits anyone covering Vietnam as part of a regional trip: fly in for meetings, on to Singapore or Bangkok, and back again without a new visa each time. It is valid for up to 90 days with unlimited entries, for business visits rather than employment.

    Step by step guide

    1Before you applyCheck your passport and fix your dates

    Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after the day you arrive. Decide the date you will enter Vietnam and the airport, land border or seaport you will arrive at - the visa's start and end dates are fixed from that date and cannot be moved later.

    If you will leave Vietnam and come back, you need a multiple-entry visa. Single or multiple entry?

    2Gather your documents5 things to have ready
    • Passport valid for at least 6 months after the day you arrive
    • A clear photo or scan of your passport's photo page
    • A recent passport-style photo: white background, no glasses
    • Your arrival date, entry port and first address in Vietnam
    • Name and address of the company you are visiting in Vietnam

    That is all we need from you. Photo and passport scan rules

    What is the multiple-entry business e-visa?

    It is Vietnam's electronic visa, issued for a business purpose, that lets you enter and leave as often as you need for up to 90 days. You apply online and it arrives by email as a PDF. It is the visa for anyone covering Vietnam as part of a wider regional trip.

    Who it suits

    • Regional sales and sourcing trips - Ho Chi Minh City this week, Bangkok next, back to Hanoi after that
    • Project teams flying in for a few days at a time over a quarter
    • Buyers returning for sampling, inspection and sign-off at a factory
    • Trade-fair season, when several events fall within a few months

    If you will enter Vietnam once and leave once, the single-entry business e-visa costs less.

    What it covers

    Business visits: meetings, negotiations, site and factory visits, conferences and trade fairs. It does not allow employment in Vietnam, and it does not run beyond 90 days. For a longer assignment or a job with a Vietnamese employer, a sponsored visa and a work permit are needed.

    Requirements

    • A passport valid for at least six months after your first arrival
    • A clear scan of the passport photo page, including the two code lines
    • A recent portrait photo on a white background, without glasses
    • Your first entry date, arrival port and first address in Vietnam
    • The name and address of the company you are visiting

    How the dates work

    The visa has a fixed start and end date, set from the first entry date you give. Every trip in between is covered. Leaving and returning does not extend it, so if your project will run past the end date, apply for a fresh e-visa from outside Vietnam before your next trip.

    Cost and processing

    The Vietnamese government charges US$50 for a multiple-entry e-visa against US$25 for single entry, and that is the difference between our two business prices. Processing takes the same time for both; Express and Urgent options are offered when you apply.

    Questions and answers

    Frequently asked questions

    1. Do I need an invitation letter?
    Not for the e-visa. You give the name and address of the company you are visiting. A sponsored business visa issued through an inviting company is a different, longer process and is only needed for stays beyond 90 days.
    2. Who needs a multiple-entry business e-visa?
    Anyone making more than one business trip into Vietnam within about three months, or covering Vietnam as part of a regional trip with other countries in between.
    3. How many entries does it allow?
    Unlimited entries and exits between its start and end dates, at any of the 83 eligible airports, land borders and seaports.
    4. How long is it valid?
    Up to 90 days from the first entry date on your application. The dates do not move, so apply for a new one if your project runs longer.
    5. Can I work in Vietnam on it?
    No. It covers business visits - meetings, inspections, negotiations, events - not employment by a Vietnamese company.
    6. What does it cost?
    The Vietnamese government charges US$50 for a multiple-entry e-visa. Our price includes that fee and is shown on this page in your own currency.
    7. Can several colleagues apply together?
    Yes. Add each traveller to the same application; every person needs their own e-visa and is charged individually.
