Tourists from Portugal who are interested in spending an extended period of time in Vietnam now have the opportunity to apply for a visa valid for three months, allowing them to take in the country’s stunning scenery over a longer period of time. It seems a little weird for Portuguese nationals to be eligible for this form of visa beginning in 2023, since it was only made available. In the next section of this post, we will provide Portuguese citizens with in-depth information on the procedure to get a tourist E-visa for Vietnam valid for a period of three months.
1/ New updates about Vietnam 3 month E-visa for Portuguese tourists 2024
In addition to obtaining a visa at a Vietnamese embassy or consulate and obtaining a visa upon arrival in Vietnam, Portuguese visitors also have the option of obtaining a Vietnam visa via the use of the Vietnam e-visa. Portuguese nationals who visit Vietnam for the purposes of tourist or leisure via one of the designated entry ports are eligible for this kind of visa.
When the Vietnam Evisa was initially introduced in 2017, it was valid for a single entrance during the first month, however the Vietnam government has decided to increase the maximum term of stay to three months beginning in 2023. As a direct consequence of this, Portuguese travelers may begin the application process for a Vietnam e-visa and get it within three months.
When their application for a Vietnam e-visa valid for three months is granted, Portuguese visitors will be sent a visa file in PDF format that may be used to enter Vietnam at any checkpoint. The electronic visa for a period of three months will include all of the following: The number and code of the Electronic Visa (Vietnam e-visa); Full name; Date of birth; Sex; Nationality; Passport number; Expiration date of passport; Validity of the Vietnam e-visa (showing clearly from which day/ month/ year to which day/ month/ year); Checkpoint approved; Purpose of travel.
With an electronic tourist visa valid for three months, Portuguese people are permitted to stay in Vietnam for a total of up to ninety days. Please be aware that the 3-month visa may either be a single entrance or a multiple entry visa. The sort of travel that a Portuguese tourist engages in should be selected according on their itinerary.
