Vietnam eVisa ยท Flight Itinerary Guide

Flight itinerary for Vietnam eVisa โ€” your application's missing piece.

In August 2023, Vietnam extended the eVisa from 30 days to 90 days per entry โ€” and opened it to all 152+ nationalities. It is one of the most accessible eVisa schemes in Asia. The portal at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn still requires a return or onward flight itinerary as part of the application โ€” get your itinerary from Flightinary before you open the form, not after.

What you need to know

What is a flight itinerary โ€” and why does Vietnam's eVisa portal require one?

Since August 2023, Vietnam's e-Visa allows stays of up to 90 days per entry โ€” making it one of the most generous eVisa schemes in Southeast Asia. But the online application at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn still requires supporting documents, including a return or onward flight itinerary. Purchasing a real ticket before your visa approval locks in your dates and your money. A flight itinerary for your Vietnam eVisa gives immigration what they need without that commitment.

What a flight itinerary is

A flight itinerary is a professionally formatted travel document produced from live GDS aviation data โ€” real flight numbers, real airline names, real IATA airport codes, accurate departure and arrival times. It demonstrates your intended entry and exit route for visa documentation purposes, without requiring you to pay for an actual booking.

Why not just buy a real ticket?

Vietnam's eVisa is one of the most accessible in the region, but it still takes up to 3 business days to process โ€” and plans change. Digital nomads often extend stays; backpackers shift itineraries. Committing to a specific departure flight before your eVisa is issued โ€” and before your plans are final โ€” means either paying change fees or losing your ticket. A flight itinerary costs a fraction and carries zero financial risk.

Does Flightinary's itinerary work for Vietnam eVisa submissions?

Yes. Every Flightinary itinerary is generated from real-time aviation data with genuine flight numbers and correct IATA routing. It is formatted to meet the documentation standard expected by Vietnam's online eVisa portal and by Vietnamese immigration officers at air, sea, and land entry points. The document is indistinguishable from a standard airline booking confirmation.

Full document checklist

Everything you need for a Vietnam eVisa application

Vietnam's eVisa application is fully online and relatively straightforward โ€” but the document requirements still catch applicants out, particularly the flight itinerary upload. Use this checklist before you start. A complete application is processed faster and less likely to face additional requests.

Order your flight itinerary before you open the Vietnam eVisa application โ€” you will need to upload it during the form completion. The portal does not allow you to save partial applications easily, so having all documents ready in advance is the smoothest path.

Identity & visa form

  • Valid passport

    Minimum 6 months validity beyond your intended departure from Vietnam; must have at least 1 blank page

  • Digital passport photo

    Clear, white background, frontal face โ€” required upload on eVisa portal; file size and format restrictions apply

  • Scanned passport bio page

    High-quality scan of your passport data page โ€” required for the online eVisa form

  • Completed eVisa application

    Filled and submitted at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn โ€” keep your reference number

Travel itinerary

  • Flight itineraryWe provide this

    Return or onward flight showing departure from Vietnam โ€” with real flight numbers and IATA airport codes. Required upload on the eVisa form.

  • Accommodation confirmation

    Hotel, hostel, or guesthouse booking for your stay; or invitation letter if staying with local contacts

  • Intended entry point

    Vietnam eVisa is valid at all air, land, and sea entry points โ€” specify your planned port of entry on the form

  • Travel insurance

    Not officially required but strongly recommended โ€” Vietnam has limited public healthcare coverage for foreign visitors

Financial proof

  • Bank statements

    Last 3 months showing sufficient funds โ€” approximately $30โ€“50 per day as a general guide for Vietnamese immigration

  • Credit/debit card

    International cards widely accepted in cities; carry some cash for markets, rural areas, and remote destinations

  • Proof of income

    Salary slips, employment contract, or business income โ€” useful if your bank balance is scrutinised

  • eVisa payment receipt

    $25 (single entry) or $50 (multiple entry) โ€” paid online during application; keep the payment confirmation

Ties to home country

  • Employment letter

    Confirming your role, salary, and approved leave dates โ€” particularly useful for nationalities that face additional scrutiny

  • Property or lease documents

    Rental agreement or title deed at your home address โ€” evidence of a stable base to return to

  • Family commitments

    Marriage certificate or dependants at home โ€” supports a clear intent to return

  • Return flight itinerary

    Doubles as both a travel document and proof of departure intent โ€” the most direct tie to home country evidence

"Ties to home country" is where most applications fail. The eVisa is valid for a maximum of 90 days per entry. Many first-time applicants assume they can stay indefinitely on a multiple-entry visa โ€” you cannot. Each entry grants a maximum of 90 days, and overstaying, even by a day, results in fines and complications at departure.

Know your profile

How your nationality affects your Vietnam eVisa application

Vietnam's eVisa is available to nationals of 152+ countries โ€” one of the broadest schemes in Asia. Refusal rates are very low across the board. However, some nationalities enjoy visa-free access to Vietnam, making the eVisa unnecessary. Check your position and apply accordingly.

๐ŸŸข Low refusal rate (under 3%) โ€” Vietnam eVisa available to 152+ nationalities

Vietnam's eVisa refusal rates are very low across the board โ€” the system is designed for maximum accessibility. If your application faces any friction, it is almost always because of document quality: unclear passport scan, incomplete accommodation details, or a missing flight itinerary upload. Submit a complete application with all documents ready before you open the portal.

๐ŸŸก Slightly higher scrutiny โ€” some nationalities face additional checks

For some nationalities, the combination of a return flight itinerary, confirmed accommodation, and bank statements covering your full stay significantly reduces processing uncertainty. Apply at least a week before your travel date to allow buffer time for any additional document requests.

Stay rules โ€” explained

How long can you stay in Vietnam?

Since August 2023, Vietnam has extended the eVisa maximum stay from 30 days to 90 days per entry โ€” a significant change that made Vietnam one of the most accessible long-stay destinations in Southeast Asia. Multiple-entry eVisa holders can enter and exit freely, with each entry granting up to 90 days.

90

Days per entry

Maximum stay per entry on Vietnam eVisa, as of August 2023 โ€” up from the previous 30-day limit. Counted from the day of entry.

$50

Multiple-entry eVisa fee

Multiple-entry Vietnam eVisa allows unlimited entries, each for up to 90 days โ€” ideal for long-term travellers and digital nomads.

$25

Single-entry eVisa fee

Single-entry Vietnam eVisa for shorter trips โ€” 90 days maximum stay. Suitable for one-off visits to Vietnam.

Overstaying in Vietnam carries fines of approximately $7โ€“10 USD per day and may result in detention at the airport until the fine is paid. Significant overstays (7+ days) can trigger a re-entry ban. Vietnamese immigration at Noi Bai (Hanoi) and Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City) airports cross-check entry stamps electronically โ€” overstays are reliably detected.
