Vietnam Visa for Colombian Citizens: E-Visa Cost in Pesos and Steps
Vietnam visa for colombian citizens: ordinary passports need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. COP 150,001). Peso prices, Bogotá cut-offs.
Colombian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Colombian citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. COP 150,001) all-in through us for single entry. Colombia appears on a Vietnamese exemption list, but only for diplomatic and official passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in pesos, urgent cut-offs in Bogotá time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Bogotá is twelve hours behind Vietnam, so the Vietnamese working day runs from 20:00 the evening before to 6:00 in your morning. Orders placed in your evening reach Vietnam as its day begins, and the table below shows why.

Do Colombian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Colombian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Colombia's row on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026) is marked under Diplomatic and under Official/Service/Special, with a 90-day stay. The Ordinary column is empty, and Colombia is absent from the later 45-day lists.
Guides that say Colombia has no visa-free policy are right for ordinary passports. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Colombian citizens: urgent cut-offs in Bogotá time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 20:00 in Bogotá.
| Order cut-off | Bogotá time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 2:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 3:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 5:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 6:00 |
Example: you order on Monday at 21:00 in Bogotá, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 22:30, Super Urgent by 23:30 and Same day by 6:00 on Tuesday, all in Bogotá time. Ordered on Tuesday at 4:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 5:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives at 23:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 2:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 6:00 in Bogotá and ends on Sunday at 4:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 3:20 and it arrives by 6:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Colombian citizens
Colombian 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 Colombia
You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. For consular help, check the list of Vietnamese missions on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (mofa.gov.vn) for the one that covers Colombia.
Tips for Colombian travelers
Two points help Colombian travelers: reading the exemption list correctly, and not trusting fee figures that differ between sites.
Diplomatic and official passports are different
The 90-day stay on Colombia's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and official or service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Colombian passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with an official passport enters without one.
Fee quotes differ between sites
Guides quote anything from $25 to $50 for a Colombian e-visa. On evisa.gov.vn the government fee is US$25 for single entry and US$50 for multiple entry, and our all-in price from $47 includes that fee, with no card surcharge.
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.
