Before applying for a visa to Vietnam, UK citizens need to pay close attention to how long it takes to process an e-visa application. If UK tourists don’t consider this issue, their visas could be delayed, which could mean they have to put off or cancel their trip to Vietnam. In this article, we’ll talk about how long it takes to get a Vietnam visa and how UK citizens can speed up the process.
The Vietnam E-visa is a one-month visa that only lets you enter the country once. People from the UK who have been approved for a Vietnam E-visa can enter Vietnam at airports, land borders, or seaports. This visa can be applied for online, which makes it very easy for people in the UK. UK citizens can just stay at home and fill out the visa application form online. After the processing time, the E-visa result will be sent to their email.
How long does it take for a UK citizen to get a Vietnam e-visa?
From the date that the online application form is sent, it usually takes three working days to get a Vietnam e-visa. Please note that when we say “working days,” we mean “business days.” Saturday, Sunday, and Vietnamese holidays are not “working days.”
Please look at the following: If someone from the UK sends in an application for a Vietnam E-visa at noon on Monday, the result will be available at 6 p.m. on Thursday.

So, applicants from the UK should send in their Vietnam E-visa applications at least 10 days before their departure date.
People from the UK can also apply for a Vietnam E-visa that can be used 6 months later. The validity of a Vietnam e-visa starts from the date of entry, which is shown on the e-visa approval. This means that people from the UK can choose any date to enter Vietnam. But it’s recommended that UK citizens get an e-visa for Vietnam to use in the next three months. People from the UK can get a new E-visa if their travel plans change.
