Notice: During the processing of your visa application, you may receive a request from the Vietnam Immigration Department asking you to amend or update certain information. In such cases, the processing time will begin only after the required amendments have been completed and resubmitted.

Before applying

Before applying for a Vietnam e-visa, Brazilian applicants should take the time to understand the visa system, required documents, and relevant regulations. This will help ensure a smooth application process and minimise the risk of delays or rejections.

• The visa application is accepted only when applicants are outside Vietnam;
• The applicant’s passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival or 1 month beyond the intended date of exit from Vietnam;
• The e-visa is valid for a maximum of 90 days, applicable for both tourism and business purposes;
• Applicants must have no previous immigration violations, such as overstaying or breaching Vietnam’s entry regulations;
• Children with their own passports must apply for separate visas, just like adult applicants.

Moreover, when applying for a Vietnam e-visa, Brazilian applicants must prepare a scanned copy of their passport and a recent portrait photo. Both documents must meet the official requirements set by the Vietnam e-visa portal:

– The passport scan must clearly show all four corners of the bio page, and all personal data must be readable and complete.
– The portrait photo must be taken within the last 6 months, on a plain light background, with no glasses or hats.

After applying

• After completing your visa application, you should frequently check the visa status to ensure there are no issues during processing. If any amendments are requested, make the necessary corrections immediately to avoid delays that could affect your travel plans;
• Once you receive your visa result, carefully review all the information on the visa to ensure it is entirely accurate. Any errors or mismatched details will not be accepted by airlines or immigration authorities and may cause serious problems when checking in for your flight to Vietnam;
• If your visa application takes longer than expected — typically more than 7 working days without any feedback from the Vietnam Immigration Department — it may be undergoing further verification. In this case you may keep waiting for the verification process to be completed (if you still have sufficient time before your trip), or request to accelerate the visa process to avoid missing your upcoming flight to Vietnam (if your flight time is approaching very soon)
