Rules can change, so use this as a practical planning reference and confirm the current position with us before you apply.
Vietnam Visa Categories for Indian Travellers
| Visa Category | Purpose | Typical Processing |

Common Mistakes Indian Applicants Make
Most avoidable delays and refusals come from a handful of recurring issues: a photo that does not meet the exact specification above, passport scans that are unclear or close to expiry, an unclear or inconsistent purpose of travel across documents, and proof of funds that does not match the length or cost of the trip. We check all of these before your Vietnam application is submitted.

Important: We assist with genuine short-term visitor visas only. We do not provide work permits, degree-level study visas, or immigration/settlement services for Vietnam or any other country. No genuine agent can guarantee visa approval — final decisions rest with Vietnam's immigration/consular authorities.
