India to Vietnam visa requirements

e-Visa required for mainland Vietnam. USD 25 single / USD 50 multi-entry, valid up to 90 days; Phu Quoc-only visits may be visa-free for up to 30 days. Indian passport holders need a visa for mainland Vietnam because there is no general India-Vietnam visa-free arrangement. The simplest route is the official Vietnam e-Visa at evisa.gov.vn or thithucdientu.gov.vn: USD 25 for single-entry or USD 50 for multiple-entry, valid for up to 90 days. The immigration portal says applications are processed in 3 working days, while the Vietnam Embassy in India warns delays can stretch to 5-30 working days and recommends applying early. Results are checked on the e-Visa search page with the registration code, email, and date of birth; the embassy FAQ says no email is sent and travelers must print the approved e-Visa. A narrow Phu Quoc exception exists for entry and stay limited to Phu Quoc Island for up to 30 days, but India's Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City advises Indian nationals to obtain an appropriate Vietnam visa even for Phu Quoc if mainland travel could become necessary due to emergencies or disruptions. Travelers entering via Phu Quoc International Airport should also complete the Pre-Arrival Information declaration before departure. Work, study, family, and longer stays need the appropriate sponsored or embassy visa.
