By time remaining

How much time do you have before your flight?

1-4 hours before flight

This is the most urgent window. Contact us immediately with your passport details, departure airport, and arrival city in Vietnam. Depending on your nationality and what airline you're flying with, we may be able to arrange an urgent visa that works for same-day travel from select departure points. Every minute counts — send your details now.

12-24 hours before flight

You have more room but still need to move fast. Most nationalities can use our 4-hour to same-day urgent visa processing from HCMC, Hanoi, or Da Nang. We'll review your situation, prepare the documentation, and help you get the visa approval before your boarding time. Send your passport and flight details to start.

2-7 days before flight

This is the ideal window for emergency processing. You have enough time for our same-day or next-day urgent visa service for most nationalities. Send your details and we'll confirm the fastest available option for your specific situation and destination airport in Vietnam.

How it works

What to do right now if you need an emergency Vietnam visa.

Step 1: Contact us immediately with your passport details (full name, passport number, nationality, expiry date), your flight details (departure airport, arrival airport in Vietnam, departure date and time), and your urgency level.

Step 2: We check what's possible for your nationality and timeline. Some nationalities have more options than others for last-minute visas.

Step 3: We advise the fastest route — whether that's urgent e-visa processing, an alternative entry method, or a recommendation based on your specific departure airport.

Note: If your e-visa application is already submitted but hasn't arrived yet, check our delayed visa page first — you may already have options available.

FAQ

Common questions about emergency Vietnam visas.

Yes, same-day processing is available for many nationalities through our urgent visa service. Our 1-hour and 4-hour tiers are designed for travelers with immediate travel needs. However, not all nationalities qualify for ultra-fast processing. Contact us with your nationality and flight details and we'll confirm what's possible for your specific situation.

Contact us immediately. Send your passport details, airline, flight number, departure time, and arrival airport in Vietnam. Depending on your nationality, we may be able to arrange an urgent visa that can be processed while you wait. Some airlines require a visa before they allow boarding, so time is critical.

If your departure country has limited Vietnam visa options, we may recommend alternative routes — flying to a city with more processing flexibility, applying for an e-visa if you have enough time, or checking if your nationality qualifies for visa on arrival at the airport in Vietnam. Contact us with your departure airport and nationality for personalized advice.
