In a much-awaited development, Vietnam has officially announced that citizens of the Netherlands can now apply for a 90-day e-visa starting from August 15, 2023. This groundbreaking decision, as outlined in the government’s resolution 127/NQ-CP, aims to facilitate smoother entry and exit procedures for Dutch travelers. This article serves as an announcement and a comprehensive guide for citizens of the Netherlands who wish to explore the vibrant beauty of Vietnam.
Gone are the days when one had to go through the hassle of visiting the Vietnamese embassy or consulate to obtain a visa. With the introduction of the e-visa system, applicants can now complete the entire process online in the comfort of their homes. This new system reflects Vietnam’s commitment to embracing digitalization and simplifying bureaucratic procedures for international visitors.
To apply for a 90-day e-visa, citizens of the Netherlands simply need to visit the official website and follow the step-by-step instructions. The user-friendly interface ensures a seamless application experience, with clear guidelines to assist applicants throughout the process. This convenient method eliminates the need for physical paperwork and long waiting times.
The e-visa system not only saves time and effort but also offers flexibility and convenience to Dutch travelers. With a 90-day validity, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality of Vietnam for an extended period. Moreover, the e-visa allows for multiple entries, enabling travelers to explore neighboring countries and return to Vietnam without the hassle of obtaining a new visa each time.
The cost of a single-entry e-visa for citizens of the Netherlands is set at a reasonable US$25, while a multiple-entry visa can be obtained for US$50. It’s important to note that the e-visa fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether the application is approved or denied. In normal circumstances, the e-visa processing time is three working days. However, during peak seasons or after holidays, it is advisable to submit the application well in advance to avoid any potential delays.
For those who are pressed for time or seek a more streamlined experience, commercial websites specializing in visa services can be a viable option. These websites offer a user-friendly interface and a simple application form, making the process even more convenient. While they may come with slightly higher costs, they ensure timely delivery of the e-visa, saving visitors from potential frustration and allowing them to embark on their Vietnamese adventure without any worries.
