Overview

How it works for Vietnam

Swedish citizens always need a visa to travel to Vietnam. The e-visa is the simplest option for tourism and shorter business trips. It is valid for up to 90 days and can be single or multiple entry. The e-visa is handled entirely online and delivered by email. For longer stays, work or specific purposes, an embassy visa is required. Vietnamese authorities are strict about photo format (4 × 6 cm, white background) and passport validity (at least 6 months). VIZA reviews everything before submission to minimise the risk of refusal.

Translation, timing and embassy

Is Vietnamese or English translation needed?

For e-visa or the visa application, translation of Swedish documents is normally not required. The application is filled in English. The invitation or admission letter should be in English or Vietnamese. If you have Swedish documents to be used in Vietnam after entry (e.g. for work or studies), authorized translation may be needed separately.

Timeline for a Vietnam visa

E-visas are usually approved within 3 to 5 business days. Embassy visas take 7 to 14 business days. Vietnamese authorities always determine the final processing time. The total is affected by:

whether the photo has exactly the right format (4 × 6 cm, white background)
whether the passport is valid at least 6 months
whether the application is complete without errors
peak season and queue at Vietnamese authorities
whether the application is supplemented
post for embassy visa
