Do I need a visa for Vietnam from Austria?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Austrian citizens need a visa for Vietnam in most cases. The simplest route is the tourist e-Visa, applied for online before departure through Vietnam's official immigration portal.
For a tourist trip to Vietnam, Austrian travellers generally obtain their visa as an e-Visa, applied for online through the official portal evisa.gov.vn. The whole process is completed online, with document uploads and card payment. Check any short-stay visa exemption conditions directly at the official source before deciding not to apply.
Do you need a visa for Vietnam?
In most cases, yes. Holders of an Austrian passport most often apply for a tourist e-Visa, an electronic authorisation issued after an online application. Vietnam also grants short-stay visa exemptions to certain nationalities: check on the official portal whether and for how many days Austria qualifies before concluding. When in doubt, the e-Visa is the safe route.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa application is made exclusively online through the official portal https://evisa.gov.vn. Create your file, complete the form with your travel details, upload a passport photo and your passport page, state your planned entry point, then pay the fee by card. Once approved, download and print your e-Visa to present at boarding and at immigration control. We advise Austrian travellers to submit the application several days before departure.
Documents and fees
Bring an Austrian passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date, with blank pages. A recent digital passport photo and a copy of the passport bio page are required, along with a declared point of entry and exit. The e-Visa fee is not fixed here: check the current amount directly on evisa.gov.vn before paying.
Processing and practical tips
No processing time is guaranteed: apply for your e-Visa at least a week before departure. Enter your point of entry carefully, as the e-Visa may be tied to it; if your itinerary changes, check the applicable rules. Keep a printed and a digital copy of your approved e-Visa, which is often checked at check-in by the airline.
Common mistakes and good to know
Use only the official portal evisa.gov.vn: many intermediary sites charge surcharges for the same procedure. Check that the data entered (name, passport number, dates) matches your document and your trip exactly. Finally, respect the length and purpose of stay authorised by the tourist e-Visa, and do not overstay your exit date, on pain of a fine.
