FAQ for Indian applicants
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?+
Yes, for every entry. India is not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list, so the 90-day e-Visa (or a sponsored visa) is required even for short trips and layovers where you clear immigration.
Should Indian travellers pick single or multiple entry?+
Choose multiple entry if your route includes Cambodia, Laos or Thailand and you return to Vietnam. Paying the upgrade once is cheaper than filing a second e-Visa mid-trip.
Can I apply for a Vietnam e-Visa from Dubai on an Indian passport?+
Yes. The e-Visa is nationality-based, not residence-based, so UAE-based Indian nationals can apply and receive the same 90-day grant by email.
My Vietnam e-Visa has a spelling mistake — can it be corrected?+
No. Issued e-Visas cannot be amended; a fresh application and fee are required. Our review compares every field to your passport before submission for exactly this reason.
Do children need their own Vietnam e-Visa?+
Yes. Every traveller including infants needs an individual e-Visa, even when they are listed on a parent's passport in older documents.

India is one of the top five source markets for Vietnam's 90-day e-Visa. There is no visa-free entry for Indian passport holders — every arrival, including short beach trips to Da Nang or Phu Quoc, needs the e-Visa in advance.
