e-Visa via the official government portal — USD 25 single-entry / USD 50 multiple-entry, valid up to 90 days.
Nepali citizens can apply for a Vietnam e-Visa entirely online through the official government portal, with no embassy visit needed. Vietnam opened e-Visa eligibility to essentially all nationalities in 2023, and it now offers both single-entry and multiple-entry options valid up to 90 days. Apply only on the official government site — many commercial 'visa service' sites charge large markups for the same process.
Fee: USD 25 (single-entry, 30 days) or USD 50 (multiple-entry, up to 90 days), paid in VND-equivalent on the official portal. Third-party 'visa service' sites often charge USD 55-160+ for the same e-Visa — avoid these unless you specifically want paid expediting help.
Processing: Typically a few business days on the official portal
Stay: Up to 90 days depending on the e-Visa type chosen (30-day and 90-day options both exist)
Steps
Apply on the official portal — Go to evisa.gov.vn (the official Vietnam e-Visa National Portal) and complete the online application form.
Upload documents and pay the fee — Upload a photo of your passport's personal details page and a portrait photo, then pay the government fee online (charged in VND, equivalent to about USD 25 or USD 50).
Wait for approval — Approval typically takes a few business days; check status using your registration code on the official portal.
Print your e-Visa — Download and print the approved e-Visa to present on arrival — immigration checks the printed or digital copy at the border.
Documents
Valid passport (at least 6 months' validity, with blank pages)
Digital photo of your passport's personal details page
Passport-style digital portrait photo
Active email address for confirmation and to download your approved eVisa
No — the official government portal (evisa.gov.vn) handles the same application directly for the government fee only. Paid services just add a markup for filling out the same form on your behalf.
