The Vietnam e-visa is currently the most convenient option for Hong Kong citizens applying for a Vietnam entry visa. However, Hong Kong citizens need to be aware of the processing time for e-visa applications.

1/ How Long Does It Take for Hong Kong Citizens to Apply for a Vietnam E-Visa?

The Vietnam e-visa is valid for up to 90 days and allows for single or multiple entries. Hong Kong citizens holding a valid e-visa can enter Vietnam through airports, land borders, or seaports. All Hong Kong citizens can apply for a Vietnam e-visa online by filling out an online form and submitting their application. After a short processing period, they will receive the e-visa result via email.

How long does it take for Hong Kong citizens to apply for a Vietnam e-visa?

Typically, the processing time for a Vietnam e-visa is 3-5 business days (calculated from the date of submission). Saturdays, Sundays, and Vietnamese public holidays are not counted as business days.

Here are some specific examples:

• If a Hong Kong citizen submits an application at noon on Monday, they can usually receive the e-visa result by 6 PM on Thursday.
• If a Hong Kong citizen applies at noon on Thursday, since Saturdays and Sundays are not business days, the e-visa result will be available by 6 PM on Tuesday.

The processing time for a Vietnam e-visa is an estimate. Therefore, Hong Kong citizens should carefully review the information they provide before submitting their application.

How early should Hong Kong citizens apply for a Vietnam e-visa?

Since the processing time for a Vietnam e-visa is typically 3 business days (and may be delayed due to a high volume of applications or technical issues), it is recommended that Hong Kong citizens submit their applications at least 10 days before their departure.
