Vietnam eVisa / ETA Required Before Travel for Indians

Indian passport holders need the official Vietnam e-Visa, applied for online before travel. Visa on arrival is no longer available to Indian passport holders, despite what many agent websites still advertise. Vietnam's 45-day visa exemption applies only to listed nationalities, which do not include India.

  • The e-Visa is valid at the listed airports, land borders and seaports.
