2026 Vietnam E-Visa Weekend Urgent Guide: Same-Day Saturday/Sunday Approval & Costs

Planning a family trip to Vietnam only to find your Vietnam E-Visa stuck on “Processing” hours before your flight? For families traveling with children or seniors, a visa delay isn’t just a minor hiccup—it risks the loss of pre-paid hotels, private tours, and precious vacation time.

In 2026, the Vietnam Immigration Department still operates on a “Manual + System” hybrid model, meaning official windows are closed on weekends and public holidays. This guide provides a lifeline for families, showing you how to secure a weekend urgent visa and save your holiday.

1. Why is My Family’s E-Visa Stuck?

When applying as a group, it’s common for one person to get approved while others remain “Processing.” Common pitfalls include:

• The Weekend/Holiday Gap: The Immigration Department does not process applications on Saturdays, Sundays, or Vietnamese holidays. A Thursday night submission might not be touched until the following Tuesday.
• Child Data Errors: Typos in passport numbers (like confusing ‘0’ with ‘O’) or blurry photos of minors often trigger a manual review.
• 2026 Travel Surge: Due to record-breaking tourism in 2026, high application volumes can cause system bottlenecks.
• Photo Non-Compliance: If a child’s photo has a non-white background, shadows, or hidden ears, it will be flagged for “Amendment,” resetting your wait time to zero.

⚠️ Parents Note: If your visa is stuck, do not re-apply on the official website. Multiple submissions create “Data Anomalies,” which can lock your original application and significantly delay approval.
