Vietnam visa for Argentinian citizens: urgent cut-offs in Buenos Aires time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 22:00 in Buenos Aires.
| Order cut-off | Buenos Aires time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 4:15 |

| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 8:00 |
Example: you order on Monday at 23:00 in Buenos Aires, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 0:30 on Tuesday, Super Urgent by 1:30 on Tuesday and Same day by 8:00 on Tuesday, all in Buenos Aires time. Ordered on Tuesday at 6:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 7:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 1:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 4:00.

Visa on arrival for Argentinian citizens
Argentinian 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 Argentina
Vietnam has an embassy in Argentina, but you do not need it for an e-visa, which is issued online. The Embassy of Vietnam in Buenos Aires is at 11 de Septiembre 1442, Belgrano, Buenos Aires. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Argentina has the details.
Tips for Argentinian travelers
Two points catch Argentinian travelers: reading the exemption list as if it covered every passport, and assuming South American agreements reach Vietnam.
Diplomatic and official passports are different
The 90-day stay on Argentina's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and official or service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Argentinian passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with an official passport enters without one.
Mercosur does not reach Vietnam
Argentinians move freely around South America, but those arrangements stop at the continent. For Vietnam, only the exemption lists count, and an ordinary Argentinian passport is on none of them.
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.
