Starting from August 15, citizens of Ukraine will have the opportunity to receive electronic visas for visiting Vietnam. This news was reported by the Embassy of Ukraine in Vietnam.

The Government of Vietnam adopted a decision (No. 127/NQ-CP dated 14.08.2023) on the introduction of an electronic visa system for citizens of all countries and territories. This new approach involves the possibility of obtaining electronic visas through the web portal of the Vietnam Immigration Service.

Previously, to enter Vietnam, it was necessary to have an invitation, the cost of which ranged from $50 to $200. This invitation allowed for a visa on arrival at the airport for $25. This need is no longer needed now, as online visa processing is becoming available.

The cost of issuing an electronic visa is $25. This visa can be single-entry or multiple-entry for a period of up to 90 days for trips to Vietnam for tourism, family, work or other purposes.

With the help of an e-visa, entry to the territory of Vietnam will be possible through 29 international checkpoints, in particular through 13 airports of the country. This new system will simplify the process of entering Vietnam for citizens of Ukraine and make it more convenient and efficient.
