Vietnam visa for Estonian citizens – Getting an emergency e-visa at the last minute
Starting from August 15, 2023, citizens of all nationalities, including Estonian citizens, are eligible to apply for a Vietnam e-visa. This is considered the fastest and most convenient way for Estonian travellers to obtain a visa for Vietnam.
The Vietnam e-visa is issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department through the official government visa portal. Typically, an e-visa is granted within 3 – 5 working days. However, in urgent cases, Estonian citizens can obtain an e-visa in as little as 1 – 2 working days, 4 working hours, or even 1 – 2 working hours.
How to ensure the Vietnam visa approval for Estonian citizens?
To maximise the chance of a successful visa approval, Estonian citizens should follow these important steps:
- Apply through the official portal or a trusted visa agency
Submitting your application via the Vietnam government’s visa portal or a professional visa agency ensures accuracy and legitimacy. - Provide accurate and complete information
Double check that your passport details, personal information, and travel dates are entered correctly. Even small mistakes may lead to delays or rejections. - Prepare the required documents
A valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity and a clear scanned copy of the passport bio page are mandatory. A recent passport-sized photo will also be required. - Verify the payment
Always check your payment status to ensure the transaction has completed successfully. Sometimes, you may believe that the payment went through, but when reviewing your visa application status, it still shows as “unpaid”If this happens, your application will not be processed, and you will need to submit a new visa application from the beginning. To avoid delays, double-check your payment confirmation immediately after completing the transaction.
- Choose the right processing time
Standard e-visa processing takes 3–5 working days. If travelling urgently, select a rush visa service (1–2 working days, 4 working hours, or 1–2 working hours). - Avoid booking flights or hotels before approval
Wait until your visa is officially granted to prevent problems with cancellations or changes.
By carefully following these steps, Estonian travellers can ensure a smooth application process and timely visa approval for their trip to Vietnam.

How to get a Vietnam e-visa on weekends?
Since the Immigration Department does not operate on weekends, you should take note of the following steps if you plan to enter Vietnam on a Saturday or Sunday:
- Check your existing e-visa application status on Friday noon
Please enter the visa application number, email address used in the visa application and the date of birth into the e-visa search to check the visa application status.
If your visa application is pending or needs to be amended, the expedited e-visa service is strongly recommended. In this case, 4 working hours is sufficient to clear the pending status or speed up the amended visa application to get the visa done on time for your flight on weekends. - Carefully check your issued visa information on Friday morning
This activity allows you enough time to correct any errors before the weekend, as Friday is the last working day of the Vietnam Immigration Department each week. If you notice mistakes such as incorrect names, dates of birth, passport numbers, or entry dates, you can use an urgent visa service (to expedite a new e-visa application) or a visa correction service (to update the issued e-visa details) to avoid disruptions to your trip. - Use the fast track service at the Vietnam airport
Weekends or public holidays are often peak times for visitors arriving in Vietnam, which may lead to crowded airports. To reduce wait times during immigration procedures, you may consider our immigration fast track service to skip the queue for visa stamping.
The immigration fast track service will also help you check the validity of your visa and passport before boarding, ensuring there are no issues with your entry into Vietnam. - Save our hotline number for instant support
