Is a Vietnam visa service legit? How to check

Short answer: there is one test that settles it. A real Vietnam eVisa can be looked up on the official portal, evisa.gov.vn, with the registration code, your email and your date of birth. A legitimate service gives you that code, or lets you check your visa there, without hesitation. If a service can't or won't, walk away.

Signs of an honest service

• It says clearly that it is a private company, not the government.
• It shows the full price up front and explains what is the government fee and what is the service fee.
• It lists real contact details, and someone answers.
• It has a written refund policy.
• It sends you to the official portal to verify your visa.
• It doesn't pressure you with countdown timers or "approval guaranteed".

Red flags

• Claims to be "official" on a domain that doesn't end in .gov.vn.
• Extra fees that appear only at checkout.
• Guaranteed approval. Nobody can promise that, because immigration decides.
• Won't give you the registration code.
• Contacted you first, through an unexpected message or ad.

Is same-day really possible?

Yes. Urgent processing within the same working day is a real, paid option if the application goes in before the daily cut-off. What isn't real: an instant visa at midnight on a Sunday. See the urgent guide for how the timing works.
