How long in advance should I start my Vietnam e-visa application?

As the Vietnam e-visa starts from the arrival date you provide in your application, not from the date you submit your form, and the Vietnam e-visa approval time is normally 3 working days, in case you are quite sure about your arrival date, we highly recommend

• applying for the e-visa now; OR
• applying at least 10 working days in advance,

to ensure that you get Vietnam e-visa on time before departure without paying for any urgent processing fee and have time to check your visa as well.
