Vietnam visa for indians

Here are the Vietnam tourist visa eligibility requirements:

• You should be living outside Vietnam.

• You must have a passport valid for at least 6 months.

• You shouldn’t be on the list of people temporarily banned from entering Vietnam, as outlined in Article 21 of the “Law on Foreigners’ entry into, exit from, transit through, and residence in Vietnam.” [This includes, for instance, foreigners who are barred due to reasons such as forging documents to gain entry or concerns related to national security.]

Here are the Vietnam e-visa requirements for Indians:

• Passport

• Photograph

Passport: A scanned copy of your passport, valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date in Vietnam. Ensure that your passport also has at least one blank page. 

Photograph: A recent passport-size coloured photograph meeting the Vietnam visa photo requirements. Vietnam requires a 4x6cm digital photo. The photo must have a plain white background, and you should be looking directly at the camera without glasses or headwear (except for religious purposes). Visa lounge augments your photo to meet the necessary requirements.

You can easily track the status of your Vietnam e-visa application using the Visa Lounge “my profile” dashboard or the Vietnam visa status tracking tool. 

Delays in receiving your visa can occur due to various reasons, such as high application volumes or technical issues. If you have not received your Vietnam e-visa within the expected processing time, you have two options:

• Check Visa lounge my profile dashboard to check visa updates

• Check your email’s spam or junk folder to see if you missed any updates. 

• If you haven’t received an email, contact the Visa Lounge support team.

Tip: Always apply for your e-visa well in advance to account for any potential delays and avoid last-minute travel disruptions.
