Vietnam Visa for Antigua and Barbuda Citizens: E-Visa Cost in EC Dollars and Steps
Vietnam visa for antigua and barbuda citizens: you need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. EC$127). EC dollar prices and Saint John's cut-offs.
Antigua and Barbuda citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Antigua and Barbuda citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. EC$127) all-in through us for single entry. Antigua and Barbuda is on none of Vietnam's exemption lists, so a passport from the twin-island state gets no visa-free stay. This page covers the e-visa, prices in East Caribbean dollars, urgent cut-offs in Saint John's time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Saint John's is eleven hours behind Vietnam, so Vietnam's working day runs from 21:00 the evening before to 7:00 in your morning. An order placed at night in Antigua reaches Vietnam as its day begins, and the table below shows why.

Vietnam visa for Antigua and Barbuda citizens: urgent cut-offs in Saint John's time

| Order cut-off | Saint John's time |
|---|---|

Emergency arrives by 23:30, Super Urgent by 0:30 on Tuesday and Same day by 7:00 on Tuesday, all in Saint John's time. Ordered on Tuesday at 5:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 6:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 0:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 3:00.

Visa on arrival for Antigua and Barbuda citizens
Antigua and Barbuda citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.
Vietnam embassy in Antigua and Barbuda
You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. Check the list of Vietnamese missions on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (mofa.gov.vn) for the one that covers Antigua and Barbuda if you need consular help.
Tips for Antigua and Barbuda travelers
Two points catch travelers from the Caribbean: ordering at the wrong hour, and following an outdated guide.
Order in the evening, not the morning
Ordered at 9:00 in the morning in Antigua, your file reaches Vietnam at 20:00, after every urgent cut-off, and it starts at 8:00 the next Vietnamese morning, which is 21:00 that evening in Saint John's. Ordered at 21:00 instead, every speed is still open.
Outdated guides about sponsorship letters
Some guides still say Antigua and Barbuda passport holders need a tour company in Vietnam to sponsor the visa. That describes the system before the e-visa. The e-visa needs your passport, a portrait photo and your trip details, and nothing from a local company.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
