A complete guide for Kyrgyz citizens to apply for a Vietnam eVisa, including direct flight routes from Bishkek, KGS cost equivalents, and embassy details.
Vietnam Visa Policy for Kyrgyz Citizens
As of 2026, **Kyrgyz citizens require a visa** to enter Vietnam for tourism or business purposes. Fortunately, the Vietnamese government has opened the **electronic visa (eVisa)** system to all nationalities, including Kyrgyzstan.
This means travelers holding a Kyrgyz passport can apply for a visa entirely online without needing to visit an embassy or send off their physical passport. The eVisa allows a maximum stay of **up to 90 days** and is valid for both single and multiple entries.
> [!NOTE] > The only exception is the **Phu Quoc Visa Exemption**. If you fly directly to Phu Quoc Island and stay only on the island for less than 30 days, a visa is not required.
Vietnam eVisa Costs in Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS)
The official government fees for the Vietnam eVisa are fixed in US Dollars. As of June 2026, the estimated equivalent in Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS) is as follows:
- **Single-entry eVisa:** $25 USD (approximately **2,190 KGS**) - **Multiple-entry eVisa:** $50 USD (approximately **4,375 KGS**)
The eVisa processing time is standardly **3-5 working days**, though you should apply at least 1-2 weeks in advance of your flight to account for any unexpected delays or public holidays.

Flights from Kyrgyzstan to Vietnam
Traveling from **Bishkek (FRU)** to Vietnam has become increasingly accessible, with several route options available for Kyrgyz travelers:
### Direct Flights For travelers seeking a direct route, **Aero Nomad Airlines** operates direct charter flights from Bishkek (Manas International Airport - FRU) directly to **Phu Quoc (PQC)**. This is the fastest way to reach Vietnam and takes advantage of the Phu Quoc visa exemption.
### Connecting Flights If you plan to visit major mainland cities like **Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)**, **Hanoi (HAN)**, or **Da Nang (DAD)**, you will need a connecting flight. Popular routes include: - **Air Astana:** Transit via Almaty (ALA). - **China Southern Airlines:** Transit via major Chinese hubs (e.g., Urumqi or Guangzhou). - **Centrum Air & SCAT Airlines:** Connecting via Central Asian hubs.
A connecting flight to Vietnam usually takes upwards of 14 hours depending on the layover duration.
Vietnam Embassy Details for Kyrgyzstan
There is **no Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate located in Kyrgyzstan**.
For traditional consular affairs or visas that cannot be processed electronically, Kyrgyzstan falls under the jurisdiction of the **Embassy of Vietnam in Uzbekistan**:
- **Address:** Rashidov Str.-100, Tashkent, Uzbekistan - **Telephone:** +998-71-134-4541 / +998-71-134-0393 - **Email:** [email protected]
Because of the lack of a local embassy in Bishkek, the online eVisa system is by far the most convenient and practical option for Kyrgyz citizens.
Entry Requirements & Eligible Ports
When arriving in Vietnam, Kyrgyz travelers must present: 1. **A valid Kyrgyz passport** with at least 6 months of validity remaining from the date of entry and at least 2 blank pages. 2. **A printed copy** of the approved Vietnam eVisa.
The eVisa is accepted at **33 designated international ports of entry** across Vietnam, including 13 airports, 16 land borders, and 13 sea ports. Whether you arrive at Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City or cross the border by land from a neighboring country, the eVisa has you covered.
