Mexico to Vietnam visa requirements

Mexican ordinary passport holders need a visa for Vietnam. The simplest route is the official e-Visa (90 days, single or multiple entry), applied for online before travel. Mexican ordinary passport holders require a Vietnamese visa for tourism and short visits. Vietnam MFA's exemption list shows Mexico only in non-ordinary passport categories, and the Embassy of Mexico in Viet Nam says Mexican nationals need a Vietnamese visa and may use the e-Visa route. Vietnam Immigration says the electronic visa is issued online to foreigners outside Viet Nam with a valid passport, is valid for up to 90 days, and can be single or multiple entry. Apply through the official eVisa portal before departure, upload the passport data page and portrait photo, then pay the government fee of US$25 for single entry or US$50 for multiple entry. The official application instructions state processing in 3 working days after payment, but travelers should leave extra time for corrections, holidays, or high demand. E-Visa holders must enter and exit through designated Vietnamese ports. Vietnam still has border-gate visa issuance for limited cases set by law, but ordinary self-arranged tourists should not rely on a visa on arrival. Passports should be valid for at least six months from arrival and have blank stamp space. E-Visa holders in Vietnam may be considered for a new visa only if invited or guaranteed by an eligible organization or individual under Vietnamese law; tourists should not count on an automatic in-country extension.
