How to Handle Your Vietnam E-Visa Application During Public Holidays

Vietnam’s public holidays can affect the processing time for E-Visas, as government offices responsible for visa issuance are closed on these days. This article offers essential tips to help you plan your E-Visa application around public holidays in Vietnam.

Understand Vietnam’s Public Holiday Schedule

Public holidays in Vietnam can vary slightly each year, but the main holidays to consider include:

_ New Year’s Day (January 1st)

_ Tet Lunar New Year (1st day of the first lunar month) - usually late January or early February. This is the most significant holiday and often lasts up to a week.

_ Hung Kings’ Festival (10th day of the third lunar month) – Usually falls in April.

_ Reunification Day (April 30th)

_ International Workers' Day (May 1st)

_ National Day (September 2nd) – Can extend for more than one day depending on the year.

These holidays can lead to closures at government offices, including the Immigration Department responsible for E-Visa processing.

Apply for Your E-Visa in Advance

To avoid delays, submit your E-Visa application well before your travel date - ideally at least 2–4 weeks in advance if your travel dates are near a public holiday. This buffer period can help prevent holiday-related delays from impacting your plans.

Plan for Possible Delays with Flights and Accommodations

Consider flexible booking options for flights and accommodations around Vietnam’s public holidays. This flexibility allows for a buffer period if there are delays with your E-Visa processing.
