Planning a trip to Vietnam in 2025? Whether you’re coming for the lush landscapes, rich culture, or mouth-watering cuisine, understanding Vietnam’s visa and entry requirements is the first step toward a smooth journey. Here’s your updated 2025 guide to everything you need to enter Vietnam — including visas, exemptions, and fast-track options.
- Do You Need a Visa to Enter Vietnam?
It depends on your nationality and the duration of your stay. As of 2025, Vietnam offers visa exemptions to citizens of over 25 countries for stays ranging from 14 to 90 days. Some popular exemptions include:
- South Korea, Japan, Russia, and several European nations – 15 days visa-free
- ASEAN countries – 14 to 30 days visa-free, depending on the country
For longer stays or if your country is not on the exemption list, you’ll need a Vietnam visa, which can be obtained in three main ways:
- Types of Vietnam Visas Available in 2025
- E-Visa (Electronic Visa)
- Available to citizens of over 80 countries
- Valid for single or multiple entry, up to 90 days
