Validity
What a Vietnam eVisa for up to 90 days means
A Vietnam eVisa may be issued for a maximum of 90 days. The document shows a specific start date and expiry date. Those dates define when it may be used and when the approved stay ends.
Single-entry or multiple-entry
Single-entry allows one entry. Multiple-entry allows repeat entries within one approved validity period.
Exact dates
The period does not restart at the airport. The dates printed on the eVisa apply.
Application from outside Vietnam
The official system is intended for foreign applicants outside Vietnam. A new eVisa is not an extension of a current stay inside the country.
Independent applications are submitted through: evisa.gov.vn
Wording
Is a 90-day eVisa the same as a 3-month Vietnam visa?
"Vietnam 3-month visa" is a common informal term for a 90-day eVisa. For planning, the exact start and expiry dates matter because three calendar months do not always contain the same number of days.
When an eVisa is valid from 01 September 2026 to 29 November 2026, the expiry date remains 29 November 2026 whether entry takes place on 1 September or later.
Choose the dates from the real itinerary. Do not simply add 90 days to the ticket purchase date or assume validity starts on arrival.
Dates
How the 90-day eVisa dates work
Start date
The eVisa cannot be used before its stated start date.
Later entry
Entering later does not move the expiry date. Unused days at the beginning are not added at the end.
Entry before the start date
When visa exemption applies, an earlier entry may be possible under that separate basis. The eVisa does not activate automatically while the traveller stays inside Vietnam.
Re-entry with Multiple-entry
A re-entry under Multiple-entry does not create a new 90-day period. The printed expiry date remains unchanged.
Allow for the arrival and passport-control dates, planned departure, possible flight changes, regional trips, repeat entries and a reasonable margin before expiry.
Entry basis
Visa exemption or a 90-day eVisa
The right option depends on nationality and trip length.
Visa exemption may fit when
- the nationality qualifies;
- the trip stays within the permitted period;
- the route does not require an eVisa.
A 90-day eVisa may fit when
- no applicable visa exemption exists or it is too short;
- the traveller plans a longer tourist stay;
- the itinerary includes leaving and returning to Vietnam;
- exact visa dates are needed in advance.
Visa-exempt entry and eVisa entry are separate legal bases. Entering under visa exemption does not activate an eVisa while the traveller remains in Vietnam.
Entry type
Single-entry or Multiple-entry for a 90-day trip
Single-entry
Choose Single-entry for one entry followed by the final departure. Once used, it cannot be used again even when the printed expiry date has not passed.
Multiple-entry
Choose Multiple-entry when the itinerary includes leaving Vietnam and returning during the approved period. Multiple-entry does not extend the visa or restart the 90 days.
When no exit and return are planned, Single-entry is usually enough. When at least one re-entry is part of the itinerary, consider Multiple-entry.
Use cases
Who may benefit from an eVisa for up to 90 days
Longer holiday or winter stay
For a tourist trip that does not fit the available visa-exempt period.
Regional travel
For travellers who need to leave for another Southeast Asian country and return under Multiple-entry.
Visiting family or friends
For a longer visit that remains within the approved eVisa dates.
A tourist eVisa does not replace separate permission required for employment, study or another special purpose.
Inside Vietnam
What if you are already in Vietnam?
A new eVisa is not an in-country extension of a current visa-exempt stay or existing visa.
Review the current immigration status, permitted departure date, nationality, other applications, possible exit route, planned re-entry date and required entry type.
Depending on the case, the traveller may need to leave Vietnam, wait for the result and make a new entry during the eVisa validity period.
Do not submit another application blindly when an active, returned or confirmed stuck application already exists.
Before acceptance
What we review before accepting the request

standard or urgent processing interest.
After review, Anton or Anna confirms whether a 90-day eVisa route fits, which dates and entry type to use, whether the request can be accepted, required documents, available processing time and the final exact amount before payment.

FAQ
Can a Vietnam eVisa be issued for exactly 90 days, and is it the same as a 3-month visa?+
A Vietnam eVisa may be issued for a maximum of 90 days. "Vietnam 3-month visa" is an informal term, but the exact dates in the approved document control the validity.
When does the period start, and what happens with later entry?+
The printed start and expiry dates apply. Later entry does not move the expiry date, and unused days are not added at the end.
Can I enter before the eVisa start date?+
Not under that eVisa. When visa exemption applies, an earlier visa-exempt entry may be possible, but the traveller must leave and re-enter during the eVisa validity period to use it.
Should I choose Single-entry or Multiple-entry, and does the period restart?+
Choose Single-entry for one entry and Multiple-entry for repeat entries. Multiple-entry does not restart the 90 days or change the expiry date.
Do visa-exempt travellers need a 90-day eVisa?+
It depends on nationality and trip length. A short trip may fit visa exemption, while a longer itinerary may require or benefit from an eVisa.
Can I apply for a new eVisa while I am in Vietnam?+
A new eVisa is not an in-country extension. The route should be planned for a new entry after leaving Vietnam.
What are the standard service prices?+
Standard Single-entry is $70 and Multiple-entry is $105 under the current central calculation. Prices include the government fee. Processing takes 7-10 business days after actual submission and has no approval guarantee. The final exact amount is confirmed before payment.
Is urgent processing available?+
Yes, after preliminary review and written acceptance. At that point, the approval guarantee and confirmed processing time are fixed. The confirmed processing time starts after actual submission.
Does an approved eVisa guarantee entry?+
No. It does not guarantee airline check-in, boarding, transit, a border decision or actual entry.
