Overview
Vietnam — A Growing Destination for Pakistani Travellers
Vietnam has become one of the most popular Southeast Asian destinations for Pakistani passport holders, largely because of the accessible e-Visa system operated by the Vietnamese government. Pakistani nationals can apply for the Vietnam e-Visa entirely online through the official portal at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn, without needing to visit an embassy or submit physical documents.
The Vietnam e-Visa allows stays of up to 90 days per entry and covers tourism, family visits, business visits, and other approved short-stay purposes. The e-Visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, meaning Pakistani travellers must enter Vietnam within that window.
Pakistani tourists visit Vietnam for its diverse attractions — from the historic streets of Hanoi and Hoi An to the dramatic scenery of Ha Long Bay and the beaches of Da Nang. The relatively long permitted stay of 90 days also makes Vietnam suitable for longer leisure or exploratory trips.
While the e-Visa process is simpler than embassy-based applications, accuracy matters. An incorrect photograph, mismatched passport detail, or wrong entry point selection can cause delays or rejection. Our team reviews everything before submission to make sure your application is right the first time.
Who This Visa Suits
- Pakistani tourists planning to visit Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Long Bay or Da Nang
- Pakistanis with family or friends based in Vietnam
- Travellers building Southeast Asian travel history
- Business visitors attending meetings, conferences or trade events
- First-time international travellers looking for an accessible e-Visa destination
- Pakistanis who want a longer permitted stay — up to 90 days — without embassy queues
Our Support Process
How Shaheen Visa Guides Your Application
We guide every stage of your Vietnam e-Visa application — from profile check and document review to entry point confirmation and approval verification.

Document and Profile Review
We check your passport details, photograph quality, travel dates, intended entry point, and accommodation evidence before anything is submitted — ensuring your profile and application data are consistent.
-
Application Form Guidance
We review your route and confirm the e-Visa is suitable for your profile. We ensure every detail — passport number, name, entry point, travel dates — is accurate and consistent before submission. Entry point selection is critical for Vietnam; we advise based on your specific itinerary.
-
Fee and Payment Guidance
We explain the government fee, payment timing, and what must be confirmed on the official portal. We advise on card requirements and confirm the current fee before you commit payment.
-
Approval Review
After your e-Visa is issued, we review the approval details with you — confirming your passport number, travel dates, permitted entry point, and visa type all match your travel plan before you depart.
📌 Important Notes for Pakistani Applicants
Apply at least 7–10 days before travel to allow buffer time beyond the typical 3-working-day processing window.
Only use the official portal: evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. Many third-party websites imitate the official portal and charge inflated fees.
Select the correct entry point during the application. Your e-Visa is only valid for the specific airports, seaports or land crossings you select — changing your entry point after approval may not be possible.
Print your e-Visa and carry the physical copy when entering Vietnam. A digital copy on your phone may not be accepted at all entry points.
The Vietnam e-Visa does not automatically extend. If you wish to stay longer than the approved period, you must apply for an extension through the Vietnamese immigration department before your visa expires.
What You Need
Vietnam e-Visa Document Checklist for Pakistanis
The Vietnam e-Visa requires minimal documentation. However, every detail must be accurate and consistent with your passport before you submit.
Valid Pakistani Passport
At least 6 months validity beyond your intended departure date from Vietnam. Must have at least one blank page available for stamps.
Passport-Size Photograph
A recent colour photograph with a plain white background. Must clearly show your face — no glasses, no heavy shadows, no headwear unless for religious reasons.
Valid Email Address
An active email address where your e-Visa approval document will be sent. Use an email you check regularly and have reliable access to.
Credit or Debit Card
A valid Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card to pay the USD 25 Vietnamese government e-Visa fee online at the time of application.
Intended Entry and Exit Dates
Your planned entry date into Vietnam and planned departure date. These must reflect your genuine travel plan and match your flight bookings.
Entry Point Selection
The specific airport, seaport or land border crossing you plan to enter Vietnam through. This is selected during the application and is fixed on your e-Visa.
Consultancy Note: Although the Vietnam e-Visa involves fewer documents than an embassy application, errors — including uploading a low-quality photograph, selecting the wrong entry point, or mistyping passport details — can result in rejection or delays. Our team reviews your submission before you pay to catch any issues in advance.

Know the Risks
Why Vietnam e-Visa Applications Are Rejected
The Vietnam e-Visa is relatively accessible, but rejection still happens. These are the most common reasons Pakistani applicants face delays or refusals.
Passport Near or Below the 6-Month Validity Requirement
Your Pakistani passport must have at least 6 months validity beyond your planned departure from Vietnam. If your passport is expiring soon, renew it before applying for the e-Visa. Submitting with an insufficient validity period is a common and entirely avoidable reason for rejection.
Photograph Does Not Meet Official Specifications
The Vietnam e-Visa photograph must meet specific technical requirements — white background, correct dimensions, clear face without glasses or shadows. Uploading a low-resolution, dark, or incorrectly cropped photograph is a frequent cause of application problems and delays.
Passport Details Do Not Match the Application Form
Every field on the e-Visa application — full name, date of birth, passport number, nationality — must exactly match what is printed in your passport. Any inconsistency, including a missing middle name or transposed digit, can result in rejection without a refund of the government fee.
Wrong Entry Point Selected
Vietnam e-Visas are tied to a specific entry point — airport, seaport or land border crossing — selected during the application. If you try to enter through a different point than what is printed on your e-Visa, you may be denied boarding or entry. Always select the entry point that matches your confirmed flight or travel plan.
Applying Through Unofficial Third-Party Websites
Numerous unofficial websites claim to process Vietnam e-Visas and appear similar to the official government portal. These sites may charge significantly inflated fees, submit incorrect applications, or fail to submit at all. Always apply directly through the official portal at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn.

Frequently Asked Questions — Vietnam Visa for Pakistanis
Applicant Guidance
Applicant-Specific Strategy
Each type of applicant benefits from targeted preparation for the Vietnam eVisa process:
- Employed applicants: An employment letter, salary slips, and a consistent bank statement demonstrate stable income and clear ties to Pakistan. Having funds evidence ready is important if questions arise at border entry.
- Business owners: Business registration, NTN/STRN, and a personal bank statement. A brief cover letter explaining travel purpose and return commitment. Note: the tourist eVisa is for tourism only — business purposes require the business visa category.
- Students: Enrollment letter and your sponsor’s financial documents. Clear proof of student status and family ties in Pakistan.
- Housewife / dependents: Sponsor income documentation, NADRA marriage certificate, and travel companion details.
- Family application: Each family member must apply separately on the official Vietnam eVisa portal. Ensure all applications use consistent travel dates, the same entry port, and a shared travel plan. Selecting the same entry/exit ports across all family applications is important.
- Single vs multiple entry selection: Choose single-entry (USD 25) if visiting Vietnam only once. Choose multiple-entry (USD 50) if your itinerary involves leaving Vietnam and re-entering — for example, combining Vietnam with Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand. The eVisa fee is non-refundable if refused, so confirm your entry needs before selecting.
