How to spot a fake Vietnam eVisa website
Short answer: The only government Vietnam eVisa portals are evisa.gov.vn and thithucdientu.gov.vn. The government fee is USD 25 (single) or USD 50 (multiple entry). If a site looks like the government but isn't one of these addresses, it's not the government, even if the design looks similar.
vnpriority.com is a private service, not a government body, and we say so on every page. Last checked: 22 Oct 2026
6 signs to check in 30 seconds
- The address. Read it letter by letter. Extra words, dashes, or a different ending mean it's not the government portal.
- The price. Anything above USD 25/50 includes a service fee. That's legal, but the site must say so clearly.
- Government-style wording, flags or seals on a site that isn't evisa.gov.vn.
- No company name, address or contact anywhere on the site.
- Promises that approval is already certain: no one can promise a visa decision.
- Pressure to pay now with countdown timers.

Already paid the wrong site?
