What to prepare in Bosnia and Herzegovina

A Vietnam e-visa application from Bosnia and Herzegovina needs four things ready:

• A Bosnian passport: Valid for at least 6 months from your entry date, with two blank pages.
• A data page image: The page with your photo, all four corners in view, and the two code lines at the bottom sharp, without glare.
• A portrait photo: Recent, facing the camera, white background, no glasses. The photo requirements guide shows examples that pass and fail.
• A card and an emergency contact: A card enabled for online payments to a foreign merchant, and the name, address and phone of a contact at home.

Copy your name from the two code lines at the bottom of the data page, in capital letters, including middle names.

When to apply from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Apply at least two weeks before you fly if you choose Standard, because 5 to 7 working days can stretch over weekends and Vietnamese public holidays. Sarajevo is 5 to 6 hours behind Vietnam. Sarajevo changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year.

For Same day delivery, order between 3:00 and 9:15 in Sarajevo in summer time (2:00 and 8:15 in winter), on a day that is a working day in Vietnam. Order before lunch if you need an urgent speed, because the Vietnamese working day is almost over by early afternoon in Sarajevo. Our guide for Bosnian citizens has the full table of cut-offs, and the urgent e-visa page covers every speed.

Paying for your e-visa from Bosnia and Herzegovina

You pay in US dollars by credit or debit card. A Standard single-entry e-visa costs $47, about BAM 82, government fee included.

Figures use 1 USD = 1.746 BAM (xe.com, October 10, 2026). Your card is charged in US dollars; your bank converts the amount into convertible marks at its own rate, so your statement can differ from the figure here. See the full price table for every speed.

On evisa.gov.vn the government fee alone is US$25 (approx. BAM 44).

Mistakes Bosnian applicants make

The first two points below are specific to Bosnian applicants; the last two apply to everyone.

• Do not use the Croatian rule: Croatian passports allow 45 days in Vietnam without a visa, and many Bosnians have family ties across the border.
• Citizens with two passports: The passport you show at the border decides what you need. If you also hold a Croatian passport and travel on it, the 45-day exemption applies to that passport.
• A look-alike website: The government site is evisa.gov.vn. Private services, including ours, say that they are private.
• A gate you will not use: Choose the airport or border gate you will really enter through, and check the ports of entry list.
