Vietnamese visa policy for British citizens

As of 2026, British citizens hold a visa exemption allowing up to 45 days of visa-free entry to Vietnam for tourism, transit, or business purposes. For stays exceeding 45 days, a Vietnam eVisa is required.

The Vietnam eVisa permits stays of up to 90 days. The official government processing fee is $25 for a single-entry visa and $50 for a multiple-entry visa. The eVisa is valid for entry at 83 designated international checkpoints across the country, including major airports, land borders, and seaports.

Applications are processed entirely online. The sole official government platform is the National Web Portal on Immigration.

To submit an application through our agency services, visit the Apply for a Vietnam eVisa portal.
