Flying to Vietnam tomorrow without a visa? An urgent e-visa is often possible. See what to do by flight time, what to send and how to apply today.
Flying to Vietnam Tomorrow Without a Visa? Here's What to Do
Quick answer: Yes, you can often get a Vietnam e-visa in time for a flight tomorrow. A standard e-visa takes 4–7 working days, but urgent e-visa services can deliver in as little as 1 hour, or within 1 to 3 working days, depending on the option. Apply today, send a clear passport photo and portrait, and message us before you pay so we can confirm what is possible for your flight time. Vietnam Immigration makes the final decision, so no service can promise approval.

Step 1: Check whether you need a visa at all
Some nationalities can enter Vietnam without a visa for a short stay, but the rules and the allowed number of days differ by passport and change over time. Before paying for anything, confirm your situation on the official portal (evisa.gov.vn) or message us your nationality. If you do need a visa, continue with the steps below. You can also read our Vietnam eVisa guide.
Step 2: Choose the right option for your flight time
| Your flight leaves in | Best option | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|
| More than 7 days | Standard e-visa | 4–7 working days |
| 3 to 7 days | Urgent e-visa, 3 working days | [Result in 3 working days] |
| 1 to 2 days (tomorrow) | Urgent e-visa, 1 or 2 working days | [Result in 1–2 working days] |
| Under 24 hours | Emergency e-visa | From 1 hour on weekdays |
| Weekend departure | Weekend emergency e-visa | See our weekend visa guide |
The fastest option (from 1 hour) is available Monday to Friday, 08:00–10:30 Vietnam time. If you apply outside that window, a slower option may apply. Message us your flight date and departure time and we will tell you the quickest realistic choice.

What do you need to apply today?
- A passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date
- A clear photo or scan of your passport photo page (no glare, all four corners visible)
- A recent portrait photo with a plain background
- Your arrival date, entry airport and the address of your first night in Vietnam
- An email address you can check right now
The most common reasons for delays are a blurry passport photo, a wrong digit in the passport number and a portrait that doesn't meet the rules. We check every field against your passport before submitting, so you do not lose time on a rejected form.
How to apply for a Vietnam visa when you fly tomorrow

- Send your passport and photo. We review them within minutes and tell you if anything must be fixed.
- We submit your application to Vietnam Immigration with the urgent option you chose.

If you have already applied on the official portal and are still waiting, see our speed up my visa page.
What if the visa is not approved before my flight?
Tell us immediately. Airlines can refuse boarding without proof of a valid visa, so do not go to the airport hoping it will arrive. Depending on timing, you can ask your airline about changing your flight while you wait for the result. [Describe any check-in letter or other help you offer, only if available.]
Common mistakes that cost travellers their flight
- Waiting until you reach the airport. Check-in staff decide before you board, and a visa on arrival also needs a pre-approved letter.
- Applying on a random website. Only Vietnam Immigration issues visas. Check that any service states clearly that it is a private agent, shows a business licence and gives real contact details.
- Entering details from memory. Always copy the passport number, date of birth and name from the passport itself.
- Choosing the wrong entry date or airport. The e-visa lists your entry airport and dates, so check them carefully before you submit.
- Not reading the approval email. Open the PDF and compare every detail with your passport before you fly.
