General information

In order to travel to Vietnam, it is highly recommended to obtain a Visa or eVisa before departure.

French nationals wishing to travel to Vietnam are requested to obtain a visa before leaving.

The professional visa is issued to people who go to Vietnam for the following reasons: work, studies, internship, humanitarian activities, etc.

Visa Travel International can assist you in obtaining these Visas or eVisas.

Do you need a Visa for Vietnam?

French, Italians, Spanish, Germans, British, Russians, Japanese, South Koreans, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Finns and Belarusians must obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) for a tourist trip to Vietnam lasting more than 45 days. For a short stay without a visa, you need a passport valid for at least 6 months after the planned exit and an exit ticket within 45 days.

Canadians, Belgians, Swiss and other European nationalities need an eVisa for any length of stay.

In order to obtain a Visa affixed in the passport for a professional trip, you must first obtain authorization from the Vietnam immigration office via your partner/company on site. Then, Visa Travel International can assist you in obtaining this Visa and you will find into these pages all relevant information to do so. 

Conditions of entry in Vietnam

In order to enter Vietnamese territory, you must have your passport (original, valid for another 6 months after leaving the country) as well as a Visa/eVisa.

When you arrive in Vietnam, here are the rules in force at that time:

     COVID vaccination status is no longer required upon arrival and vaccination is therefore not compulsory.

     Declaration of state of health on application upon arrival is no longer mandatory.

     You no longer need to present a negative PCR test result.

     A medical/repatriation certificate (in English) may be requested upon arrival: Visa Travel International can assist you in taking out this insurance through us.

     Thermal checks possible at border crossings

     There is no longer a quarantine but you may have to “self-monitor” yourself for 10 days.

Understanding the Visa for Vietnam

The visa for Vietnam is valid from the moment it is granted and for the duration of the requested stay.

VTI’s advice for your trip to Vietnam
