Our guide to the Vietnam visa from Austria
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.

Where do you apply for a visa for Vietnam from Austria?
An e-visa for Vietnam is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Austria on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Austria but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

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.
