How to Get a Vietnam Visa from the Netherlands: Requirements & Guide

Before booking your flight from the Netherlands to Vietnam, check whether your trip requires a visa. Dutch citizens currently benefit from a 45-day visa exemption for tourism, but different rules apply to longer stays and purposes such as business, work, or study. In this guide, we'll explain whether you need a visa, which option to choose, what documents to prepare, how much you'll pay, and how long the process takes.

Do Netherlands Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?

YES, depending on the purpose and duration of the stay. Dutch citizens traveling for tourism can enjoy visa-free entry for up to 45 days. However, a visa is mandatory for all business trips, regardless of the length of stay.

For business travelers or tourists staying longer than 45 days, the most efficient option is the Vietnam e-Visa. It is applied entirely online, valid for up to 90 days, and available in single or multiple-entry options.

How Many Ways Can You Get a Visa to Vietnam?

Travelers who are not eligible for visa exemptions (or plan to stay over 45 days) can obtain a Vietnam visa through three main methods:

Method	Best for	Stay	Apply	Processing
Vietnam eVisa (recommended)	Most tourists and business travelers	Up to 90 days (Single or Multiple entry)	Online	3–5 working days
Visa on Arrival (VOA)	Urgent air arrivals	Up to 90 days (Single or Multiple entry)	Approval letter + airport	2–5 working days
Embassy/Consulate Visa	Official visits, long-term stays, and diplomatic entries	Varies	Embassy	Varies

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to extend a stay in Vietnam beyond the eVisa duration?

No. Vietnam eVisas currently cannot be extended from within the country. Travelers who wish to stay longer must leave Vietnam and re-enter with a new eVisa.

Can I enter Vietnam through any airport with an eVisa?

No. Vietnam eVisas are strictly valid for entry and exit through designated international checkpoints, including specific airports, land border gates, and seaports.

To review the complete and authoritative list of designated entry ports, travelers can consult the Official Embassy Notice on Vietnam eVisa Entry Ports.

What happens if I enter the wrong information on my visa application?

Since eVisas cannot be amended after issuance, incorrect details can lead to your application being rejected or to problems at immigration. If you spot an error, contact support immediately — in most cases, a new application will be required.
