Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holders need a visa for Vietnam. The simplest route is the official Vietnam e-visa, available online to all nationalities, granting up to 90 days for a single fee of USD 25 (single entry) or USD 50 (multiple entry). Saudi Arabia is not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list, so a Saudi ordinary passport holder cannot enter visa-free. Since Resolution 127/NQ-CP took effect on 15 August 2023, Vietnam grants electronic visas (e-visas) to citizens of all countries and territories, including Saudi Arabia. The e-visa is applied for online via the official portal (evisa.gov.vn), is valid for up to 90 days, and is issued for single entry (USD 25) or multiple entry (USD 50). Standard processing is about 3 working days (commonly quoted up to 3-5). The e-visa is accepted at all designated international airports, land border crossings, and seaports, making it the recommended channel for tourism and short visits. Visa-on-arrival (requiring a pre-approval letter) and embassy/consular stickers remain alternatives but are generally slower and costlier than the e-visa. Phu Quoc Island offers a separate 30-day visa exemption under specific conditions (arriving directly and staying on the island), but for mainland Vietnam tourism the e-visa is required.
