Austria to Vietnam visa requirements

Q: Where is the official e-Visa site?

Only evisa.gov.vn (or evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn). All other sites are agencies that charge extra.

Q: Can I extend my stay?

Yes - in-country extensions are possible via immigration offices in Hanoi or HCMC, usually arranged through an agency for ~USD 50.

Q: Direct flights from Austria?

No direct service; connect via Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), Paris (CDG), Doha (DOH), or Dubai (DXB).

Q: Can I work on an e-Visa?

No - tourism and short business meetings only. Work requires a work permit and corresponding visa class (LD/DN).

Austrians need a Vietnam e-Visa (USD 25 single, USD 50 multi) valid up to 90 days; apply online at evisa.gov.vn. Austrian passport holders are not currently on Vietnam's visa-exemption list and must apply for a Vietnam e-Visa before travel. Since August 2023, the e-Visa is valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, and is accepted at all 33+ international ports of entry. Apply at evisa.gov.vn (official) for USD 25 single or USD 50 multiple entry; processing takes 3 working days. No direct service from Vienna (VIE); most Austrian travellers connect via Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), Paris (CDG), Doha (DOH), or Dubai (DXB) to Hanoi (HAN) or Ho Chi Minh City (SGN). Use only the official evisa.gov.vn site - many scam sites charge extra for identical service.
