Applying yourself at evisa.gov.vn costs $25 single or $50 multiple. Through us the all-in price runs from $48 (standard, 4–6 working days) to $278 (multiple entry, weekend). The calculator above picks the tier from your date.
How the calculator picks your tier
Most price pages show a table and leave you to work out your row. That’s backwards — you don’t choose a speed, your flight chooses it. The calculator counts the working days between today and your arrival, then shows the cheapest tier that still gets the visa to you first.
- Working days, not calendar days. Immigration processes Monday to Friday. A Thursday standard application doesn’t become a Monday visa — the weekend doesn’t count. That’s how “a week to spare” quietly turns into an urgent order.
- The Vietnamese afternoon cut-off. Hourly tiers run on GMT+7 working hours. Submit at 9 AM in New York and it’s 8 PM in Hanoi — the countdown starts next morning. The calculator warns you when your date is close.
What the price is made of
| Part | Goes to | Refundable? |
|---|---|---|
| Government fee$25 single / $50 multiple | Vietnam Immigration | Never, by anyone |
| Service feeThe rest of the total | eVisa Vietnam Express | In full, if the failure is our error |
Worth knowing before you pay anyone, us included: a service that says the whole amount is refundable on refusal is either absorbing the government fee from its own margin or not telling you the truth. How to tell a legitimate visa service from a fake.
Should you just apply yourself?
Often, yes. With more than a fortnight until you fly, a passport with plenty of validity, a nationality without extra checks and some patience for a slow government form, $25 on evisa.gov.vn is the sensible route.
It’s different when the flight is close, when the portal has already taken your money or turned you down, or when one wrong field could cost you the trip. Our DIY vs service comparison goes through where each makes sense.
Questions
How much does a Vietnam eVisa cost in total?
Doing it yourself costs the official $25 (single) or $50 (multiple). Our totals include that fee and start at $48 for the standard speed; the highest is $278, for multiple entry on the weekend service. Full list on the fees page.
Is the government fee refunded if I’m refused?
No. The $25 or $50 goes straight to Vietnam Immigration and is never refunded, whoever submits. We refund our own service fee if the failure is our mistake. Charged but no visa? Here’s what’s actually happening.
Does 90 days cost more than 30?
No. Vietnam prices the eVisa by entry type, not length. See single vs multiple entry if you’re weighing the two.
Why do the hourly tiers cost so much more?
They run on Vietnamese working hours. An order that arrives late in Vietnam’s afternoon has almost no working time left that day, so an hours-based tier has to be handled ahead of the normal queue. Weekends cost most because there’s no standard weekend queue to join. What’s realistic when you fly soon.
Are the prices per person?
Yes. Every traveller, children included, needs their own eVisa; there’s no family application. Bank transfer is available for groups of five or more.
