Vietnam Visa for Russia

Russian citizens can enter Vietnam without a visa for up to 45 days for tourism or business purposes, under Vietnam’s unilateral visa exemption policy. However, if you wish to stay longer than 45 days, make multiple entries, or visit Vietnam for other purposes such as work or study, a valid Vietnam visa is required.

Seniworld offers fast, reliable, and fully supported Vietnam visa services for Russian travelers who need extended stays, re-entry, or long-term visa options — with clear pricing and express processing available.
