2026 Vietnam Emergency Visa Guide for Mexican Citizens: Weekend & Holiday Solutions
🚨 Why Mexican Citizens Get “Stuck” with Vietnam E-visas
Even with the automated system, travelers often fall into the “E-visa Automation Trap.”
- Human Review Required: While the official system accepts applications 24/7, human officers only review them during business hours. A Friday afternoon submission won’t be processed until Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest.
- Holiday Blackouts: During weekends and public holidays, all standard processing stops. Without an emergency plan, your flights and hotel bookings will likely be forfeited.
- Ground Crew “Zero Tolerance”: Airline check-in counters are extremely strict. A single digit error in your passport number or a typo in your name will result in a boarding refusal.
📅 2026 Vietnam Public Holiday Schedule
Mexican citizens should avoid these “Review Vacuums” when planning their trips:
| Holiday Name | 2026 Dates | Days Off | Impact on Visa Processing |
| New Year’s Day | Jan 1 (Thu) – Jan 4 (Sun) | 4 Days | Jan 2 is a bridge holiday; Jan 10 (Sat) is a makeup workday. |
| Lunar New Year (Tết) | Feb 14 (Sat) – Feb 22 (Sun) | 9 Days | Longest holiday! Immigration is closed; standard E-visas will be stuck. |
| Hung Kings’ Festival | Apr 25 (Sat) – Apr 27 (Mon) | 3 Days | Lunar March 10; Monday is a compensatory day off. |
| Reunification & Labor Day | Apr 30 (Thu) – May 3 (Sun) | 4 Days | Peak domestic travel; flights and hotels are expensive. |
| Vietnam National Day | Aug 29 (Sat) – Sep 2 (Wed) | 5 Days | Includes weekend and bridge holidays. |
💡 Pro Tip: If you plan to depart on Feb 14 (the start of Tet), you must submit your application by Feb 9 (Monday) to guarantee approval before the shutdown.
