Which nationalities can enter Vietnam without a visa in 2026 and for how many days?

Citizens of a set of countries can enter Vietnam without a visa, usually for 45 days. As of November 2026 this includes the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, South Korea and Russia. Several neighboring ASEAN countries get shorter stays, commonly 14 to 30 days depending on the passport.

The list is set by government resolutions and has changed more than once, so travel sites often disagree. Do not rely on a blog list, including this one, for a booking decision. Check your nationality on the Vietnam visa exemption page and on the Immigration Department site, xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn.

Citizens of the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are not on the 45-day list and need an e-visa. Passport type matters too, and some exemptions cover tourism only.

If your country is not exempt, you can check requirements by nationality and apply for a Vietnam e-visa online. VietnamVisa.com is a private visa agency, not a government website. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25 (single entry) or US$50 (multiple entry).
