Vietnam Visa for Nepali Citizens

Nepali passport holders must have a visa before travelling to Vietnam, and the e-visa is the one most people use. There is no visa-free period for Nepal and no genuine visa on arrival, but Vietnam's Immigration Department issues the e-visa online to every nationality, for a stay of up to 90 days. You choose single entry, USD 75 with us, or multiple entry, USD 100, and both prices are all-in.

Many Nepali travellers live and work in the Gulf, so an application may start in Dubai, Doha, Riyadh or Kuwait City as easily as in Kathmandu. That changes nothing: the e-visa follows the passport, not the country of residence, and the application is identical wherever you file it from. What does matter is getting the two uploads right, because the portal checks them by machine before any officer looks at them.

The portrait must be recent, taken face-on against a white background, with no hat and no glasses, and it must show one person only. The portal compares it with the passport photo and flags a poor match, and it rejects a photo of a photo. The passport scan must show the whole data page, with no corners cut off and both machine-readable lines at the bottom legible — the portal reads those lines and refuses an image without them. We check both before anything is filed.

Then think about dates. The 90 days start on the day the e-visa is issued, so file two to three weeks before departure. Official processing is three working days; our promise is three to five once your documents pass our check, with extra time around Tet in late January or February. Keep 6 months of validity on the passport, as airlines expect it even though the portal itself asks only for 30 days beyond the visa.
