Israel to Vietnam visa requirements

Israeli ordinary passport holders need a visa for Vietnam, but can apply online for a Vietnam eVisa (no embassy visit required) for tourist stays of up to 90 days. Israel is not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list for ordinary passports, so a visa is required. However, since 15 August 2023 (Resolution 127/NQ-CP) Vietnam issues its electronic visa (eVisa) to citizens of all countries and territories, including Israel. Israeli tourists apply entirely online through the official government portal at evisa.gov.vn, with no consulate appointment needed. The eVisa is valid for up to 90 days and can be issued for single or multiple entry. The fee is USD 25 for single entry or USD 50 for multiple entry, paid online, with typical processing of 3-5 working days. The eVisa is accepted at 42 designated international border gates, including all international airports. A separate exception exists: any nationality, including Israelis, may visit Phu Quoc Island visa-free for up to 30 days if arriving directly from abroad and staying only within Phu Quoc, but note that from 1 June 2026 a Pre-Arrival Information (PAI) declaration is mandatory for Phu Quoc entries. For mainland Vietnam tourism, the eVisa is the standard route for Israeli travelers.
