Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Vietnam visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa for Vietnam. Apply online for the official Vietnam e-visa before travel; it can be issued for up to 90 days and for single or multiple entry. As of 29 June 2026, Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holders are not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list for mainland Vietnam. The standard route for a short tourist visit is the official Vietnamese e-visa, applied for online at evisa.gov.vn before departure. Vietnam Government News and Vietnam Tourism state that e-visas are available to citizens of all countries and territories, valid for up to 90 days and single or multiple entry; Taiwan BOCA also directs Taiwan nationals to the official e-visa site. The official fee is USD 25 for single entry or USD 50 for multiple entry, and BOCA advises allowing about 3-7 working days. E-visa holders must enter and exit through Government-designated international border gates, so select the current port shown in the official application portal and match it to your itinerary. Do not rely on airport visa-on-arrival for ordinary tourism: arrange the e-visa or another valid visa before travel. One notable exception remains Phu Quoc Island: foreign tourists who arrive directly to Phu Quoc and remain only on the island may stay visa-free for up to 30 days. Travel beyond Phu Quoc or longer than 30 days requires a Vietnam visa. Passports should be valid at least 6 months from arrival and have blank pages for entry/exit stamps.

Frequently asked

Can Taiwanese passport holders enter Vietnam visa-free?—
No for mainland Vietnam. Taiwan is not on Vietnam's general visa-exemption list, so Taiwan ordinary passport holders should obtain an e-visa or another valid visa before travel. The separate Phu Quoc-only exemption is limited to direct arrivals who remain on the island.
