Do you need a visa?
Yes: Portuguese travellers need an e-Visa to enter Vietnam for tourism. This electronic visa is applied for online before the trip. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry.
How and where to apply
The application is made on the official Vietnamese immigration portal (evisa.gov.vn) before departure, from Portugal. There is no consular appointment to arrange — everything is done online. Some border posts may also offer a visa on arrival, but the pre-arranged e-Visa remains the recommended route.
