Why is travel during Tet a “Landmine”?

Many travelers assume the online E-visa portal works 24/7. It does not. While the website accepts applications, no human officers review them during the 9-day Lunar New Year break. This interactive guide visualizes the danger zones and provides the only legal workaround: the Visa Approval Letter (Landing Visa). Use the tools below to check your risk level and find a solution.

🛑

System Congestion

7-10 day delays are common before the holiday.

Correction Trap

Typo? Photo rejection? No fix until Feb 23rd.

📝 How the Emergency Landing Visa Works

The “Approval Letter” is a special document issued by the Immigration Department that allows you to pick up your actual visa upon arrival at the airport. It is the only option when E-visa is stuck.

1

Apply Online

Submit your passport photo and flight details through our emergency portal.
Deadline: 14:30 daily for same-day result.

2

Receive Letter

We send the PDF “Visa Approval Letter” to your email by 18:30. Print this document out immediately. You cannot board without the printed copy.

3

Stamp at Airport

Upon landing (SGN/HAN/DAD/CXR), go to the “Landing Visa” counter. Present letter + passport + 2 photos + $25 USD cash.
