Do India passport holders need a visa to visit Vietnam?

e-Visa required. USD 25 single / USD 50 multi-entry, valid up to 90 days. Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Vietnam — there is no visa-free arrangement. The simplest path is the Vietnam e-Visa, which costs USD 25 for single-entry or USD 50 for multi-entry, valid up to 90 days from issue. The e-Visa is fully online via the government portal at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn and is typically issued in 3-5 working days. The 90-day single/multi-entry e-Visa lets Indians stay up to 90 days total per visit, replacing the older 30-day pilot in August 2023. For longer stays, work, or family the corresponding embassy visa is required from the Vietnamese embassy in Delhi or consulate in Mumbai. India-Vietnam travel is rapidly growing thanks to direct flights between Delhi/Mumbai/Bangalore/Kolkata and Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City — Vietnam is the fastest-growing ASEAN destination for Indians. Vietnam dong is cash-heavy in rural areas; cards work in cities.
