Accepted Payment Methods
Most Vietnam visa applications accept payment by Visa and MasterCard credit or debit cards through the official online portal. Some embassies and consulates also accept bank transfers, money orders, or cash in local currency at the application centre. Check your local consulate or VFS Global website for the accepted payment options in your country.
Important: never pay visa fees to unofficial third-party agents who claim to offer "faster processing." The official fee at the government portal is always the same regardless of who submits it.
Refund Policy
The Vietnam visa application fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome. This applies even if:
- Your visa application is refused
- You cancel your trip after applying
- You withdraw your application before a decision is made
To minimise the risk of losing your fee, ensure all documents are complete and correct before submitting. Review the official checklist at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn.
Money-Saving Tips for Vietnam Visa Fees 2026
Apply directly on the official government portal to avoid third-party surcharges. Check whether your nationality qualifies for a reduced-fee or visa-free arrangement with Vietnam. For families, confirm children's fee exemptions or reductions before applying. If applying for multiple Vietnam visas in the same year, a multiple-entry visa may offer better value than several single-entry fees.
