Everything Venezuelan passport holders need to know about applying for a Vietnam e-Visa in 2026, including embassy info, flight routes, and local currency costs.
Do Venezuelans Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes, Venezuelan citizens are required to obtain a visa to enter Vietnam for tourism, business, or medical purposes in 2026.
Under the current framework, the Vietnam electronic visa (e-Visa) system is available to all nationalities. Venezuelan passport holders may apply online and receive the entry authorization electronically, without the requirement of a physical embassy visit. The sole official channel for this process is the National Web Portal on Immigration.
Vietnam e-Visa Requirements for Venezuelans
To apply for the e-Visa, travelers must prepare the following documentation:
- Valid Passport: Must maintain at least 6 months of validity beyond the planned arrival date, containing at least 2 blank pages for entry and exit stamps.
- Digital Passport Photo: A recent color photograph taken against a white background, without glasses.
- Passport Data Page Scan: A clear, digital scan of the biographical page.
- Travel Details: Intended entry and exit dates, along with a specified entry port (the e-Visa is recognized at 83 designated entry points).
- Payment Method: A valid credit or debit card for the visa processing fee.
Cost and Processing Time in VES
The e-Visa is issued with two validity options. As of 2026, the official government fees and their approximate equivalents in Venezuelan Bolívar (VES) are:
- Single-entry e-Visa: $25 USD (approx. 14,000 VES)
- Multiple-entry e-Visa: $50 USD (approx. 28,000 VES)
Note: Exchange rates are subject to fluctuation. The standard rate is calculated at approximately 558 VES to 1 USD.
Processing Time: Standard processing requires 3-5 working days. It is advised to apply at least 1-2 weeks prior to departure. Submitting an application without errors minimizes the risk of common e-Visa rejection reasons.
Flights from Venezuela to Vietnam
There are no direct flights connecting Venezuela and Vietnam. Departures from Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS) in Caracas necessitate at least one or two transit stops.
- Major Transit Hubs: Typical layovers occur in Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Doha (Qatar Airways), or major European airports (such as Madrid or Paris) prior to connecting flights to Asia.
- Arrival in Vietnam: Primary entry points include Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City.
- Duration: The total travel duration typically ranges between 26 and 35 hours, covering over 16,000 kilometers depending on transit schedules.
