Vietnam eVisa processing time calculator
Short answer: Count 3 working days starting the day after the full application and government fee are received. Skip Saturdays, Sundays and Vietnamese public holidays. The result is on time only when that 3rd working day falls before the flight.
vnpriority.com is a private travel service, not a government body. Holiday dates that are not confirmed are counted as closed, so this page will not say an eVisa is likely in time when a holiday could push it past the flight. Last checked: 2026-10-22.
