OMG I didn’t know we had to apply for an e-visa to go to Vietnam. I thought it would be the same as Bali where you just get a visa on arrival, but it turns out you need the visa before boarding the flight.My flight from Sydney is on Friday 13/03 and I only applied yesterday for four separate visas. I got a bit nervous thinking what if they don’t approve them before the 13th.PS: Of course I googled this when I first started planning the trip, but somehow my brain interpreted it as visa on arrival, so I believed that was the case.Also PS: For people who commented useless judging comments on this post — please bite your tongue and mind your own business if you don’t have anything helpful to say. The world is getting tired of people who just sit and judge.And thank you to the people who gave useful suggestions. I contacted an agency and everything is sorted out now.

    2-3 business days approval not including weekends. Also check your name on e-visa that it matches passport ect. I would also input dates longer than your actual stay in Vietnam just in case extending. I overstayed 11 days and it was very stressful at the airport, a 1.250.000 VND fine and barely made my gate boarding.

    Mine took a week and a half. Just got it yesterday. Don’t risk it. Seems to be busy at the moment.

    I’m so impressed the Agency sorted it for you, are you saying you have the eVisa now already? My VN hosts were told that no new eVisa applications were likely to get processed before 30 March.

    Didn’t know Bali was the baseline for all visa requirements. 😂
