Dominica citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Dominica citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. EC$127) all-in through us for single entry. Dominica, the Caribbean island and not the Dominican Republic, appears on a Vietnamese exemption list only for diplomatic and official passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in East Caribbean dollars, urgent cut-offs in Roseau time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Roseau is eleven hours behind Vietnam, so the Vietnamese working day runs from 21:00 the evening before to 7:00 in your morning. An order placed at night reaches Vietnam as its day begins, and the table below shows why.

Do Dominica citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Dominica citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Dominica'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 Dominica is absent from the later 45-day lists.
A visa exemption agreement signed in September 2023 (VOV) also covers only diplomatic and official passport holders. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Visa on arrival for Dominica citizens
Dominica 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 Dominica
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 Dominica.
Tips for Dominica travelers
Two points catch travelers from Dominica: mixing it up with the Dominican Republic, and the signed agreement.
Dominica is not the Dominican Republic
Many guides use "Dominican" for both countries. This page is for holders of a Dominica passport, which is issued in Roseau. If you hold a Dominican Republic passport, read our page for Dominican Republic citizens instead.
The 2023 agreement is for official passports only
The agreement signed by Vietnam and Dominica in September 2023 gives visa exemption to diplomatic and official passport holders. It does not cover ordinary passports, which still need the e-visa.
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.
