Vietnam Visa Status: How to Check and Track Your Visa Application

To facilitate timely travel arrangements and ensure transparency in visa processing, applicants are encouraged to proactively monitor their Vietnam visa status. In this article, SeniWorld will provide official guidance on how to check and track the progress of your visa application through authorized channels.

Checking Vietnam eVisa Status Online

Currently, Vietnam allows citizens of more than 80 countries to apply for an eVisa online through the official portal. After completing the application, applicants can check their Vietnam eVisa status by themselves.

The following steps will guide you in checking the status of your Vietnam eVisa application accurately:

Step 1: Visit the Official Immigration Website

Go to the official portal: https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn

Step 2: Select "Search" Function

On the homepage, click on the tab labeled "Search" or "Check eVisa result".

Step 3: Enter Required Information

• Registration code (provided after successful submission of your eVisa application).
• The email address used during registration.
• Date of birth as stated in your application.
• Verification code: Enter the digits exactly as they appear in the verification box.

Step 4: Submit and View Status

Click "Search" or "Submit" to view your application status. Your eVisa status details will be displayed instantly on the screen, including:

• eVisa Status: Shows whether your application has been approved or is still under review.
• Issue Date: The date your eVisa was granted.
• Expiry Date: The final valid date of your eVisa.

If your eVisa has been approved, a download link for the visa PDF will be available. You can download and print the result, then present it for stamping at the Vietnamese Embassy or upon arrival at the airport.

NOTE: Make sure all information is entered exactly as submitted in your application to avoid errors in retrieving your status.

In some cases, if you enter the wrong case code or your personal information does not match, the system will not display the Vietnam visa status, leading to the misunderstanding that the application has not been processed. Therefore, it is very important to keep the application information carefully from the beginning.

Checking Visa on Arrival (VOA) Status

In contrast to the eVisa, which can be tracked directly through the official online system, the Visa on Arrival - also known as the visa obtained at the airport - cannot be checked via the government’s public portal. Instead, you must verify the status through the sponsor or the visa service agency that assisted you in obtaining the approval letter.

To check the status of your Visa on Arrival application, follow these general steps:

Step 1: Check your registered email

After the letter is approved by the Vietnam Immigration Department, the sponsor will send you an entry approval letter via email. This is a document that needs to be printed out to present upon entry at the airport.

Step 2: Contact the service company or sponsor directly

If you have not received the letter after a few days, please proactively contact the place where you submitted your application. They are responsible for checking the status of your application with the immigration authority and notifying you.

Step 3: Track progress via the intermediary company's system (if any)

Some professional Visa on Arrival service providers have an internal lookup system via the application code or passport number. You can access their website and fill in the required information.

Note:

- Visa on Arrival only applies to people entering the country at international airports: Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, Da Nang,...

- You must have an entry permit issued before boarding the plane.

My Vietnam visa status is showing as “rejected”. What should I do?

If your Vietnam visa status shows as "rejected", first review some common issues:

• Incorrect or mismatched personal information
• Invalid or unclear passport photo
• Incomplete application details
• Wrong type of visa selected

If you applied through a visa agency, we recommend contacting them directly for clarification and further assistance. They can help identify the exact reason and guide you on the next steps or reapplication process.

To avoid delays or errors in the application process, it's advisable to choose a reputable visa agency from the beginning. A trusted partner like SeniWorld ensures your documents are properly reviewed, submitted correctly, and compliant with all official requirements, minimizing the risk of rejection and saving you valuable time.

My Vietnam e-visa status still shows "processing". What can I do?

If your Vietnam e-visa status still shows "processing", there are two possible scenarios:

• Still within processing time: Depending on your nationality, the Vietnam e-visa processing time can range from 5 to 30 working days. Therefore, it is normal for the status to remain "processing" during this time.
• Processing delay: If the status remains unchanged even after the processing time has ended, check your email spam or junk mail folder to see if you missed any updates. If there are no updates, contact the e-visa support team of the application platform where you applied.
