Vietnam E-Visa Cost in 2026?

The Vietnam e-visa cost is a fixed government fee of USD 25 (single entry) or USD 50 (multiple entry), valid for up to 90 days, set by Vietnam's Ministry of Finance under Circular No. 28/2026/TT-BTC effective April 1, 2026. Specifically, this fee applies to all foreign nationals applying directly through the official portal at evisa.gov.vn, regardless of nationality.

The government fee is paid online at the time of application. The government does not refund it on rejection — but if you apply through VietnamVisa.com, our money-back guarantee refunds the full amount you paid (including the government fee) if your application is declined for reasons other than incorrect information you supplied.

Single-Entry E-Visa Fee ($25)

The single-entry Vietnam e-visa costs USD 25 and allows one entry into the country within the validity window of up to 90 days. This is the right choice for travelers making a straightforward trip to Vietnam without crossing into neighboring countries like Cambodia or Laos and returning.

To illustrate: if you fly into Hanoi, travel south through Hue, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, then fly home all within a single stay the $25 single-entry visa is all you need. The visa's start date and end date are stated clearly on the approval document, and you can enter Vietnam anytime between those dates, not necessarily on the exact arrival date listed during application.

Multiple-Entry E-Visa Fee ($50)

The multiple-entry Vietnam e-visa costs USD 50 and allows an unlimited number of entries and exits within the 90-day validity period. Specifically, this option is ideal for travelers who plan to exit Vietnam midway for example, visiting Angkor Wat in Cambodia or Luang Prabang in Laos and then return to Vietnam.

For a family of three adults, the cost comparison is significant: a single-entry visa totals $75, while a multiple-entry visa totals $150. The decision comes down to whether you plan to leave and re-enter. If there's any chance of crossing a border, upgrading to the $50 multiple-entry option is the safer and more cost-effective long-term choice.

Children's E-Visa Fee

Children under the age of 14 are subject to a uniform fee of USD 25 when applying for a Vietnam e-visa, regardless of the duration or number of entries requested. This rule is established under Circular No. 28/2026/TT-BTC and applies to all child applicants, including infants, who must have their own separate e-visa application and passport.

Parents should note that each child requires an individual application. There is no family visa option available through the Vietnam e-visa system, so a family of two adults and two children under 14 would pay a minimum of $25 + $25 + $25 + $25 = $100 total in government fees for single-entry visas.
