Applying at the Office vs. Online E-visa

There are two ways to obtain a Vietnam visa in Taiwan:

  • Apply directly at the Vietnam Office in Taipei: Best if you have enough time before your trip. You need to visit the office in person, submit your passport, and wait for processing.
  • Apply for an online e-visa: Faster and more convenient, especially if your flight is just a few days away. Online applications save time and reduce paperwork.

If your travel schedule is urgent, we recommend applying for a Vietnam e-visa through our urgent service to ensure you get your result on time. If your trip is not urgent, you can apply via the official Vietnam Government e-visa website.
