Vietnam e-visa is a type of online visa that was officially launched in February 2017. Together with the traditional visa application at the Vietnam Embassy and the visa on arrival, the Vietnam E-visa is a simple and effective way to enter Vietnam today. But Vietnam e-visa is only available in a few countries, not everywhere in the world. Please see the information below to find out if Emirati citizens can get an e-visa for Vietnam in 2025 and how to apply for one in both normal and urgent processing time.
1/ Can people with an Emirati passport get an e-visa for Vietnam in 2025?
Covid-19 made it so that Emirati passport holders couldn’t get an e-visa to Vietnam for a long time. At that time, Emirati and other citizens couldn’t apply for a Vietnam E-visa.
The Vietnamese government started issuing e-visas again on March 15, 2022, after a long break caused by the COVID 19 pandemic. We’re happy to let you know that Emirati citizens can now apply for a Vietnam e-visa. Emirati are one of the 80 nationalities that can get this type of visa.

Again, we strongly confirm that the Vietnam E-visa for Emirati was opened, and that Emirati passport holders can easily apply for the E-visa to get an entry permit to Vietnam during this time.
