Vietnam E-visa in Processing? Here’s how to speed up with the Vietnam evisa expedited service

Why Is my Vietnam e-visa still “In Processing”?

Normally, a Vietnam e-visa takes 3–4 working days to be processed. If your application is delayed, possible reasons include:

• You received an email asking to update details, such as:
  • A more specific Vietnam address of stay.
  • A new passport photo or portrait photo (if the upload was invalid).
  • Name correction (if your name doesn’t match ICAO standards).
  • Confirmation of residence (visas are only issued to travelers living abroad, not those already residing in Vietnam).

If you received such an email, your application timeline resets. The 3–4 working days count starts again after you submit the updated information.

Tip: The Vietnam e-visa processing time is calculated in working days only (Monday to Friday). Please note that weekends and Vietnamese public holidays are not counted.

What if I already booked flights but my e-visa application is still processing?

If your trip is fixed and you cannot wait any longer, you can apply for the Vietnam evisa expedited service. This is an urgent processing service that helps you get your visa result within hours instead of days, with a 100% on-time guarantee.
