As of 2026, the Vietnam Electronic Visa (E-visa) has become the universal standard for international travelers. Whether you are a tourist from Mexico, a digital nomad from the USA, or a business professional from Europe, the digital portal allows for a seamless, paperless entry into the “Land of the Ascending Dragon.”
In 2026, the policy has been enhanced to offer up to 90 days of stay with both Single and Multiple Entry options, supporting over 83 international checkpoints across the country.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I change my port of entry after the E-visa is issued?
A: No. If you land at a different airport than the one listed on your E-visa, you will be denied entry. You must apply for a new visa or contact us for an emergency correction letter.
Q: Is the E-visa fee refundable if rejected?
A: No. The government fee is strictly non-refundable. To ensure 100% approval, we recommend using our professional review service before submission.
Q: I am in Mexico City, how does the time difference affect my application?
A: Mexico City is 12-13 hours behind Hanoi. If you apply at night in Mexico, our team is already working in the morning in Vietnam, often providing a “next-day” result for standard applications.
