Do Ukrainian Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam in 2026?
Yes, Ukrainian passport holders must have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. As of 2026, the electronic visa (eVisa) system is open to all nationalities. Ukrainian citizens can apply online for a visa that permits both single and multiple entries, valid for up to 90 days. The eVisa is valid for entry at 83 designated international checkpoints, including airports, land borders, and seaports.

The fees for a Vietnam eVisa are straightforward and paid online during the application:
- Single-entry (up to 90 days): $25 USD (approximately 1,110 UAH)

Standard processing time is 3-5 working days. For further details, consult Vietnam visa fees and processing times. Processing times may be extended during public holidays.

Document Requirements
To successfully apply for a Vietnam eVisa, ensure you have the following ready:
- A valid Ukrainian passport with at least 6 months of validity remaining from your planned entry date and a minimum of 2 blank pages.
- A clear digital scan or photo of your passport's biographical data page.
- A recent passport-sized portrait photo, looking straight ahead without glasses. Consult the eVisa photo requirements for specifications.
- A valid credit or debit card to pay the processing fee.
- An active email address to receive your approved eVisa.
Flight Routes & Travel Tips from Ukraine to Vietnam
Due to the ongoing closure of Ukrainian airspace to civilian air traffic, there are no direct or connecting flights departing directly from Ukraine to Vietnam.
To travel, Ukrainian citizens must first transit via land (bus or train) to a neighboring country. Common exit routes include crossing into Poland (Warsaw, Krakow), Romania (Bucharest), or Moldova (Chisinau).
Once at a major European international airport, you can catch flights to Vietnam's main airports—Noi Bai (Hanoi) or Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City)—using airlines such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, or Turkish Airlines. Always check current martial law regulations regarding border crossings before planning your departure.
