Vietnam Multiple Entry Visa

A Vietnam Multiple Entry Visa is not a separate visa purpose category under Vietnamese law, but rather an entry configuration available across most Vietnam Visa types — including the Tourist Visa (DL), Business Visa (DN1/DN2), and the standard eVisa — allowing the holder to exit and re-enter Vietnam multiple times during the visa’s period of validity. According to the National Portal on Immigration, the Vietnam eVisa is available as either single or multiple entry, with a maximum validity of 90 days regardless of which option is chosen. A Multiple Entry Visa is particularly useful for travellers with itineraries that include side trips to neighbouring countries such as Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand, since re-entering Vietnam on a single-entry visa after leaving is not possible. As with all Vietnam Visa categories, the final decision on approval rests solely with the Vietnam Immigration Department.

Eligibility

Based on official Vietnamese government sources, applicants for a Multiple Entry Visa must generally:

  • Meet the standard eligibility criteria for the underlying visa purpose (tourism, business, etc.) they are applying under.
  • Hold a passport valid for at least six (6) months beyond the intended entry date.
  • Select “multiple entry” as the entry type at the time of application, since this cannot generally be changed after a single-entry visa has already been issued.
  • Not fall under any category of persons prohibited from entering Vietnam under the Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners.

Government Visa Fees

Under Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance Circular No. 28/2026/TT-BTC (effective April 1, 2026):

Fee TypeAmount
Multiple Entry eVisa (up to 90 days)USD 50
Multiple Entry Business Visa (via embassy/consulate, longer validity)Approximately USD 50–175+, depending on duration (e.g. 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year)
INR EquivalentInformation may vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances

 

Fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome. Applicants should confirm the exact current fee with the Vietnam Immigration Department or the relevant Vietnamese Embassy/Consulate, as amounts vary depending on the underlying visa purpose and duration.

Vietnam Visa Processing Time

Multiple Entry eVisa applications follow the same standard processing time as other eVisa applications — 3 working days, as prescribed under Vietnam’s Immigration Law. Multiple Entry visas obtained for business, investment, or other longer-term purposes through a Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate, particularly those requiring a sponsor or approval letter, may take longer to process. Applicants should apply well in advance if their travel plans require re-entering Vietnam more than once.

Required Documents Checklist

Passport valid for at least six (6) months beyond the intended entry date
Digital passport-style photograph
Completed visa application form, with "multiple entry" selected as the entry type
Intended entry and exit dates and points (for eVisa applications)
Supporting documents relevant to the underlying visa purpose (e.g. invitation letter for business visits, acceptance letter for study, etc.)

Step-by-Step Application Process

Determine the underlying purpose of your visit (tourism, business, etc.) and confirm that a Multiple Entry option is available for that visa category.
Complete the online e-Visa application (or embassy/consulate application), selecting "multiple entry" as the entry type.
Pay the applicable Multiple Entry visa fee.
Upload your passport, photograph, and onward travel itinerary.
Await processing (3 working days for eVisa; longer for sponsored or embassy-issued visas).
Check your application status and print your approved visa, if applying via eVisa.
Present your visa and passport at the immigration checkpoint each time you enter Vietnam during the visa's validity period.

Important Notes

A Multiple Entry Visa allows the holder to exit and re-enter Vietnam any number of times within the visa's validity period, unlike a Single Entry Visa.
The entry type (single or multiple) must generally be selected at the time of application and cannot be changed afterward — applying for the wrong type may require submitting a new application.
Multiple Entry eVisas are valid for a maximum of 90 days, matching the maximum validity of Single Entry eVisas.
Visa fees for Multiple Entry visas are higher than for Single Entry visas of the same duration and are non-refundable.
Travellers should always confirm with their airline whether baggage is checked through to the final destination, as this affects whether immigration clearance (and therefore a visa) is required.
Multiple Entry visas obtained for business, investment, or work purposes may have different validity periods (3 months, 6 months, or up to 1 year) compared to the standard tourist eVisa.
Providing false or dishonest information in the application will result in denial.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a Single Entry and Multiple Entry Visa for Vietnam?
A Single Entry Visa allows the holder to enter Vietnam only once during its validity period, while a Multiple Entry Visa allows the holder to exit and re-enter any number of times within that period.
2. How much does a Vietnam Multiple Entry Visa cost?
For the standard eVisa, the government fee is USD 50, valid for up to 90 days. Multiple Entry business or investment visas processed through an embassy or consulate may cost more, depending on duration.
3. Do I need a Multiple Entry Visa if I'm visiting Cambodia or Laos during my trip?
Yes. If your itinerary involves leaving Vietnam and returning (for example, on a side trip to a neighbouring country), you need a Multiple Entry Visa, as a Single Entry Visa becomes void once you exit Vietnam.
4. Can I upgrade my Single Entry Visa to Multiple Entry after it's issued?
Generally, no. The entry type must be selected at the time of application; if you need multiple entries, you should apply for that option from the outset or apply for a new visa.
5. How long does it take to process a Vietnam Multiple Entry Visa?
Multiple Entry eVisa applications follow the standard 3 working day processing time. Multiple Entry visas for other purposes, particularly those requiring sponsorship, may take longer.
