Other foreign ordinary passports: all-nationalities eVisa
Every other catalog foreign ordinary-passport code can use Vietnam’s nationality-wide electronic-visa route; it is normalized as evisa.
- Available to foreigners outside Viet Nam holding a valid passport or international travel document. The Article 8 visa-class and Article 16 invitation/guarantee rules, including their personal, delegation, diplomatic, residence, and purpose distinctions, remain separate procedures rather than nationality-wide ordinary-passport exclusions.
- Valid for at most 90 days, for single or multiple entry. The Ministry of Public Security states that application, issuance, receipt, printing, and fee payment are electronic; an issued eVisa can be printed without collecting a visa at a mission or border gate.
- Use only Government-designated international air, land, or sea border gates. The Government Portal confirms the official site publishes the eVisa border-gate list; the pre-arrival declaration is not an ETA or visa-exemption substitute.
- Entry and stay remain conditioned on a valid travel document, the stated entry purpose, no suspension/prohibition from entry, and border-control admission. Accommodation providers must make temporary-residence declarations; work, residence, diplomatic/official, crew, border-pass, transit and overseas-Vietnamese certificate routes are distinct.
