Emergency Vietnam E-Visa Services: The Complete Guide for Last-Minute Travelers

What is an Urgent Vietnam E-Visa?

An Urgent Vietnam E-Visa (also known as an emergency or rush visa) is a specialized expedited service designed for foreign travelers who need a valid entry permit to Vietnam in a shorter timeframe than the standard 3-5 working days.

This service is specifically structured for individuals facing critical scenarios, such as:

  • Travelers currently stuck at the departure airport without a visa.

  • Passengers whose boarding is denied due to pending visa status.

  • Business professionals requiring immediate entry for unplanned meetings.

  • Tourists who simply forgot to apply for their visa on time.

Fast Visa Vietnam facilitates this process by prioritizing your application directly with the Vietnam Immigration Department to secure approval in as little as 1 to 4 working hours, or even on weekends and public holidays.

How Fast Can I Get a Vietnam E-Visa?

Standard processing takes days, but expedited services reduce this to hours. Below is a breakdown of the specific timeframes available based on your urgency:

Processing Speed Best Used For Service Type
Super Urgent (1 – 1.5 Hours) Travelers already at the airport or boarding within 2 hours. Super Urgent Service

How to Apply for an Emergency Vietnam Visa (Step-by-Step)

To secure a visa within hours, follow this streamlined process to ensure no data errors delay the approval:

  1. Select Your Service Tier: Choose the processing time that matches your flight schedule (e.g., 1 Hour vs. 1 Working Day).

  2. Submit Application Details: Provide your full name, passport number, date of birth, and nationality exactly as they appear on your passport.

    • Pro Tip: Ensure your passport has at least 6 months of validity.

  3. Upload Passport & Portrait: Attach a clear scan of your passport bio page and a recent portrait photo (no glasses, white background).

  4. Complete Payment: Use a credit card or secure payment gateway. Expedited fees are higher than standard processing due to the priority handling with Immigration.

  5. Receive E-Visa Code: You will receive the E-Visa PDF via email within the guaranteed timeframe.

  6. Print & Board: Print a hard copy of the E-Visa to present at the check-in counter and upon arrival at Vietnamese airports (Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai, Da Nang, etc.).
