1/ Three-Month Vietnam e-Visa Application Process for Citizens of Austria

The Vietnam e-Visa is a government document that allows citizens of Austria to enter and travel inside Vietnam for purposes such as tourism, business, investment, education, training, meeting and exchange, transit, visiting family, etc.

Now, citizens of Austria may apply for a Vietnam E-visa online and receive their visa in as little as three working days.

Citizens of Austria can apply for an E-Visa to Vietnam online and use any major credit card or PayPal account to make the required payment.

Visa-free entry to Vietnam for three months is now available to citizens of Austria. The application for a visa to Vietnam may be completed in just a few minutes using an online form and a simple payment method.
