How fast can I get a Vietnam e-visa?
Question:
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to urgently request assistance with the processing of my Vietnam e-visa application.
I submitted my application via the official government portal 3 days ago, but the status is still showing as “processing”. As I am scheduled to fly to Vietnam today at 16:15 (Dubai time), I would be extremely grateful if you could help expedite the approval process.
Answer:
Typically, a Vietnam e-visa is ready within 5 working days under the standard processing timeline. However, it is not always ready within 5 working days if your visa application has an issue with your photos or visa details. In this rush situation, you may request an expedited visa service to receive your e-visa within 1–2 working days or even 1–2 working hours (from Monday to Friday).
