Dreaming of a Halong Bay cruise or a bowl of steaming pho in Hanoi? Vietnam is one of the most loved Southeast Asian destinations for Nepali travellers, and getting the visa is easier than most people think.
Do Nepali Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Nepali passport holders must have an e-visa before leaving Nepal. Once approved, the visa is sent to your email. Print it and carry it with your passport.
Documents You Need
- A scanned copy of your passport, valid for at least six months from your date of entry
- One recent passport-size photo (digital scan)
You will also be asked for your travel dates, hotel address and return flight details, so keep them ready.
How to Apply: 5 Easy Steps
- Gather your documents. Keep the passport scan and photo in clear, readable quality.
- Fill in the online form. Enter your name, passport number and travel details exactly as they appear on your passport.
- Upload your documents. Attach the passport scan and photo.
- Pay the visa fee. Fees can change, so always confirm the current amount before applying.
- Receive your e-visa. It arrives by email. Print a copy for the airport.
If the form feels confusing, the team at Passion Tour and Holiday Service can handle the paperwork for you, so you can focus on planning the fun part.
Visa Validity and Processing Time
A Vietnam tourist visa usually allows a stay of up to 30 days with a single entry. Processing generally takes 5 to 7 working days, but it can take longer in busy seasons. Apply at least two weeks before your flight to be safe. Children also need their own visa.
Where to Go in Vietnam
- Hanoi: Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Temple of Literature
- Halong Bay: a UNESCO World Heritage Site, best seen on an overnight cruise
- Ninh Binh: limestone cliffs and peaceful river boat rides
- Ho Chi Minh City: street food, the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta trips
- Da Nang: white-sand beaches and the Golden Bridge
Best Time to Visit
The weather is most pleasant from November to April, which makes it ideal for sightseeing. For fewer crowds and lower prices, April to June and September to November are good choices.
