2026 Vietnam E-Visa Emergency Guide | 1-Hour Express Service (Weekends & Holidays Supported)
“At the airport check-in counter and just realized your Vietnam visa hasn’t arrived?”
“Suddenly need to fly to Hanoi for business, but it’s a holiday weekend?”
As Vietnam tourism hits record highs in 2026, the standard E-Visa process still takes 3–7 working days and completely halts during weekends or Vietnamese national holidays. If you are departing soon, this guide is your “lifeline.”
🚨 Emergency Zone: When Will You Get Your Visa?
For urgent departures, we utilize a VIP Administrative Express Channel to provide the most accurate 2026 timelines (GMT+7):
| Service Level | Processing Time | Ideal For… |
| Top-Tier Red Channel | Under 1 Hour | Denied boarding at the airport; immediate departure. |
| Same-Day Express | Under 4 Hours | Flights departing tonight or early tomorrow morning. |
| Weekend/Holiday | By Evening | Travel during Sat/Sun or holidays (Tet, Hung Kings’ Festival). |
⚠️ Note: Emergency services apply to New Applications only. If your application is currently “Processing” in the government system, please contact us for “Application Acceleration” (the procedure differs from a new filing).

💡 FAQ & Special Notices
Q1: How can you process visas when the government is closed on weekends?
Having operated in Vietnam since 2007, we utilize the “Case 3 Special Administrative Channel” to coordinate directly with duty officers at the Immigration Department, ensuring 365-day issuance.
Q2: What is the rule for Chinese E-Passports (starting with ‘E’)?
If you hold an ‘E’ series passport, you must print your E-Visa. Upon arrival, visit the “Visa-on-Arrival” counter to exchange it for a “Loose-leaf Visa” (free of charge) before proceeding to immigration.
Q3: What if the visa is not issued on time?
Our Guarantee: If the application fails or is not issued within the agreed timeframe, we provide a 100% full refund.
