Paying for a Vietnam eVisa is rarely one line item. In 2026, most travelers on our portal see a government fee (by visa type), a service fee ($59.99 per passenger), and sometimes an optional processing upgrade when filing through /apply. Knowing each part helps you budget and avoid surprise charges at checkout.
We are a private visa assistance service—not the Government of Vietnam. We display fees separately; you may file directly on official government portals at lower total cost if you prefer fully self-service.
Current government fees (four visa types)
All standard online products on this site are 90-day stays. Government fees do not change by passport nationality—they depend on visa type:
| Visa type | Government fee (USD) |
|---|---|
| Tourist eVisa (Single Entry for 90 days) | $55 |
| Tourist eVisa (Multiple Entries for 90 days) | $80 |
| Business eVisa (Single Entry for 90 days) | $55 |
| Business eVisa (Multiple Entries for 90 days) | $80 |
See the live list on /fees. Always confirm the total on the payment screen before authorizing your card.
Assistance service fee
Private assistance adds $59.99 per passenger for:
- Guided form completion and validation
- Document format checks (photo size, scan quality)
- Customer support during processing
- Email follow-up if authorities request corrections
The service fee is separate from and in addition to the government fee. Read /refund-policy for which fees may be refundable if rejection occurs through no fault of your own.
Optional Urgent (3 days) / Super Urgent (1 day) processing
At /apply, you may add faster handling (based on your arrival date):
| Option | Typical add-on (per passenger) |
|---|---|
| Normal (5 days) | Included in standard flow (no extra processing line item) |
| Urgent (3 days) | +$110 |
| Super Urgent (1 day) | +$220 |
These amounts speed application preparation and submission on our side—they do not guarantee government approval timing. Never book non-refundable flights until you hold the approved PDF—/blog/vietnam-evisa-processing-time-2026.
Single entry vs multiple entry
| Option | Best for | Government fee |
|---|---|---|
| Single entry | One round-trip, no leave-and-return | $55 |
| Multiple entry | Side trips out of Vietnam and back | $80 |
Choosing wrong entry type is expensive—corrections after approval are limited. Complex trips: /blog/vietnam-evisa-multiple-entry-guide-2026.
Example totals (one passenger, before insurance)
| Selection | Approximate total |
|---|---|
| Tourist single + service | $55 + $59.99 = $114.99 |
| Tourist multiple + service | $80 + $59.99 = $139.99 |
| Tourist single + service + Super Urgent | $55 + $59.99 + $220 = $334.99 |
Insurance and other add-ons are optional and appear separately at checkout.
Hidden costs travelers forget
Budget beyond the visa invoice:
| Item | Typical impact |
|---|---|
| Passport renewal | Significant if validity is under six months |
| Professional photo | Small studio fee vs retake delays |
| Printing | Airlines or immigration may want paper |
| Card FX fees | International payment conversion |
| Extension in Vietnam | Separate immigration office fees if approved |
How to verify your total
- Open /check-requirement for eligibility by nationality (not fee amount).
- Review visa types on /fees.
- Start /apply to see the exact total for your selections.
- Cross-check /faq/vietnam-evisa-requirements.
Do not rely on outdated screenshots or forum posts from prior years.
Refunds and chargebacks
- Government fees are often non-refundable once submitted, even if you cancel travel.
- Service fees may be partially refundable under /refund-policy.
- Contact support with your application reference before bank chargebacks—disputes can delay legitimate corrections.
Is an embassy visa cheaper?
Sometimes embassy sticker visas compete on government price but add consulate travel, appointments, and courier time. Online eVisas win on convenience for straightforward tourism. Long stays, work, or study usually need embassy routes—/embassy and /blog/vietnam-evisa-vs-embassy-visa-2026.
