Information for Turkish passport holders regarding Vietnam visa requirements, including eVisa applications, costs in TRY, direct flights, and embassy details.
Do Turkish Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes, Turkish citizens must have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. Since August 2023, Vietnam has opened its electronic visa (eVisa) system to all nationalities, including citizens of Turkey. This allows applicants to complete the visa process online prior to travel, without the need to visit an embassy or obtain an approval letter for a visa on arrival.
Vietnam eVisa Details for Turkish Passport Holders
The Vietnam eVisa is available for tourism and business purposes. It permits entry through 83 designated entry ports across the country.
Key details for the eVisa include:
- Maximum Stay: Up to 90 days.
- Entry Types: Single and multiple entries.
- Processing Time: Typically 3-5 working days. Processing may be delayed during Vietnamese public holidays.
- Validity Requirement: The applicant's Turkish passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended arrival date in Vietnam and contain at least two blank pages.
Visa Fees and Currency Exchange (TRY)
The official government fee for a Vietnam eVisa depends on the number of entries requested. Payments are processed in US Dollars (USD). As of June 2026, the estimated costs in Turkish Lira (TRY) are as follows (based on the approximate exchange rate of 1 USD ≈ 45.95 TRY):
- Single-entry eVisa: $25 USD (approximately 1,148 TRY)
- Multiple-entry eVisa: $50 USD (approximately 2,297 TRY)
The visa fee is non-refundable, regardless of the application outcome. Applicants are advised to review our eVisa rejection mistakes guide to ensure all submitted information is accurate.
