Do You Need a Visa to Visit Vietnam for Tet 2026?

Most travelers need a visa to enter Vietnam. Only a limited number of nationalities enjoy visa exemption.

To ensure your trip goes as planned, consider these options:

• Vietnam eVisa (Recommended): This is the most efficient choice. It is fully online, fast, and allows for a stay of up to 90 days with either single or multiple-entry options.
• Visa on Arrival (VOA): This is only available to specific passport holders and requires you to obtain an official approval letter before your flight.

Why You Should Book Airport Fast-Track for Tet Travel

Tet is the busiest time of the year for Vietnam’s international gateways—specifically Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), Hanoi (HAN), and Da Nang (DAD). Thousands of overseas Vietnamese and international tourists arrive simultaneously, which can lead to incredibly long immigration queues.

To avoid the stress of these crowds, many travelers book an Airport Fast-Track service. This service offers:

• A personal guide waiting for you at the arrival gate.

• Access to a priority immigration lane to bypass the long lines.

• Assistance with the Visa on Arrival process if necessary.

• A significantly shorter waiting time.

Note: Fast-track services are extremely limited during the Tet holiday, so securing your spot early is essential for a smooth arrival.

To book Fast track service, please send a request to our email: Visa@Vietnam-evisa.org 

In case you do not get a Visa on time for this Holiday, we can help you get it urgently.
