After 2 years, Vietnam’s tourism industry has opened again, but there are many changes in entry and exit policies, visa regulations, and e-visa fee in 2023.This article will help you better understand the changes in Vietnam’s immigration policy and how much an E-visa will cost in 2023.
Vietnam E-visa is issued by Vietnam Immigration Department from February 2017. This visa is issued online and you only pay the online fee once when you apply for the e-visa. When you arrive at the airport, you do not need to pay any additional fee.
Currently, the E-visa is only valid for 30 days and is suitable for foreigners who enter Vietnam once a month for tourism and business purposes. If you want to stay longer than 30 days, you will have to extend your visa or try to find out about a ‘Run visa’. However, according to the current policy, the Vietnamese government does not provide e-visa extension services.
Previously, if you were on the list of countries that were issued visas on arrival, you could easily choose 1-month multiple entry, 3-month multiple entry, etc. But now the visa on arrival only allows you to enter once a month. So you can also see that Vietnam’s entry policy has undergone many changes, so the 2023 visa fee will also have many changes.
