Vietnam e-Visa for citizens of Algeria: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. To enter Vietnam with a passport from Algeria, you must hold an e-Visa obtained online before the trip. It allows a stay of up to 90 days. If your trip has a purpose other than tourism, check the requirements on the official page mofa.gov.vn or with the Vietnamese embassy responsible for Algeria.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government fee25-50 USD

  Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

You will usually need a scan of your passport identity page and a recent passport-style photo, in the formats stated on evisa.gov.vn. The observed official price is 25 to 50 USD, paid directly on the portal; the amount that applies to your request is displayed before payment. For the required passport validity and any other supporting document, the reference remains the official portal or the Vietnamese embassy.

Go to evisa.gov.vn, the only official application portal. Enter your details exactly as they appear in your Algerian passport, attach the requested files and pay the fee online. Write down the application code you are given: it lets you check the status of the request and then download the approved e-Visa. Keep both a printed and a digital copy.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Algeria 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.

Allow 3 business days for processing, the observed time, excluding weekends: apply early enough before leaving Algeria. Review the form before submitting it, since the data must match your passport exactly. Once in the country, the authorised stay is up to 90 days; if you are unsure about your situation, ask the Vietnamese authorities.

Many travellers land on unofficial websites that imitate the Vietnamese portal and add high service fees: check that the address is evisa.gov.vn before paying. A non-compliant photo or a wrong passport number can delay the request or make the document unusable. Do not leave for Vietnam until the e-Visa has been approved.
