🇻🇳 Vietnam Visa from Dubai

Planning a trip to Vietnam from the UAE? Whether you are drawn to the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay, the buzzing streets of Ho Chi Minh City, or the historic charm of Hanoi, Vietnam is one of Asia’s most rewarding destinations. At Visa Doctor, we make the entire visa process clear and simple for residents in Dubai and across the UAE, handling everything from your Vietnam e-visa application to document checks and submission so you can focus on your journey.

What Is a Vietnam Visa?

A Vietnam visa is an official authorisation that allows you to enter and stay in Vietnam for tourism, business, or family visits. Most travellers from the UAE now use the convenient Vietnam e-visa, an electronic visa issued directly by the Vietnamese Immigration Department. It removes the need to visit an embassy in person and is linked electronically to your passport, making it the fastest and easiest option for UAE residents.

Vietnam E-Visa for UAE Residents

Most UAE residents visit Vietnam on an e-visa, applied for online on the official portal of the Vietnam Immigration Department, evisa.gov.vn. The e-visa is valid for up to 90 days, for a single or multiple entry, and you do not hand over your passport. Any foreigner outside Vietnam with a valid passport can apply, so your UAE residence does not change the process.

• Government fee: USD 25 for a single entry and USD 50 for a multiple entry, paid online. The fee is not refunded if the application is refused.
• Where you can enter: e-visa holders enter through designated border gates, which include all international airports.
• Official portal only: since 11 November 2024 the portal runs on evisa.gov.vn and thithucdientu.gov.vn. Many look-alike sites charge extra, so check the address before you pay.

Visa Doctor checks your details and photo before submission, because a wrong passport number or date is the most common reason an e-visa has to be redone. The Vietnam Immigration Department makes the decision.

Vietnam Tourist Visa vs Business Visa

The Vietnam tourist visa is ideal for holidays, sightseeing, and visiting friends or family, while the Vietnam business visa suits professionals attending meetings, conferences, or exploring commercial opportunities. Both are available through the e-visa system for UAE residents. If you are unsure which category fits your trip, the Visa Doctor team will advise you on the most suitable option and handle the correct application for you.

Vietnam Visa Processing Time and Fees

The Vietnam Immigration Department processes the e-visa online, and you can track the application on the official portal. The government fee is USD 25 for a single entry and USD 50 for a multiple entry. A Visa Doctor service charge applies on top of the government fee and covers the complete handling of your application, document review, and dedicated support.
