How early should I apply for a Vietnam visa?
187 views
Aim to apply for your Vietnam visa approximately 3 months before your intended entry date. While you can apply earlier, waiting ensures the visa validity aligns closely with your travel plans. Applying around May 2024 would be ideal for trips in August 2024, for example.

When to apply for a Vietnam visa: Early application needed?
Okay, so, when should you actually apply for that Vietnam visa?
Technically, you can apply whenever. Your visa's good from the start date you pick on the form, right?
But, seriously, don't jump the gun.
I remember applying way too early for my trip to Hoi An back in...oh gosh, was it July 2018? Had to pay like $25 for the letter, then wait forever.
Aim for about 3 months before you go, like if you're heading there in August 2024, apply around May 2024. That's the sweet spot. Trust me. Less stress.
Visa validity begins from the date specified in the application. Apply ~3 months prior to travel.
