Vietnam visa for israeli citizens: ordinary passports need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. ILS 144). Shekel prices, Tel Aviv cut-offs.
Israeli citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Israeli citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. ILS 144) all-in through us for single entry. Israel appears on a Vietnamese exemption list, but only for diplomatic passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in shekels, urgent cut-offs in Tel Aviv time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Tel Aviv is four or five hours behind Vietnam, so the Vietnamese working day ends in your early afternoon. The cut-off table below shows which speed is still open when you order.

Do Israeli citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Israeli citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Israel's row on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026) carries a cross under Diplomatic only, with 90 days. The Official and Ordinary columns are empty, and Israel is absent from the later 45-day lists. Vietnam opened the e-visa to citizens of every country in 2023, which is why Israeli travelers now apply online without visiting an embassy. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Israeli citizens: urgent cut-offs in Tel Aviv time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam: 4:00 in Tel Aviv during summer time and 3:00 in winter. Israel keeps summer time from the Friday before the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, which this year is October 25.
| Order cut-off | Tel Aviv, winter | Tel Aviv, summer time |
|---|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 9:15 | 10:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 10:30 | 11:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 12:30 | 13:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 13:00 | 14:00 |
Example in summer time: you order on Tuesday at 5:00 in Tel Aviv, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 6:30, Super Urgent by 7:30 and Same day by 14:00, all in Tel Aviv time. Ordered on Tuesday at 12:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 13:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 7:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 10:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 14:00 in Tel Aviv in summer time (13:00 in winter) and ends on Sunday at 12:00 (11:00). In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 11:20 in summer time and it arrives by 14:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Vietnam visa requirements for Israeli citizens
The Vietnam visa requirements for Israeli citizens match those for every e-visa applicant:

Visa on arrival for Israeli citizens
Israeli 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 Israel
Vietnam has an embassy in Israel, but you do not need it for an e-visa, which is issued online. The Embassy of Vietnam in Tel Aviv is on the 13th floor of Beit Amot Mishpat, 8 Sderot Sha'ul HaMelech. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Israel has the details.
Tips for Israeli travelers
Two points help Israeli travelers: reading the exemption list correctly, and counting Israel's summer time.
Diplomatic passports are different
The 90-day stay on Israel's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic passports only. A holder of an ordinary Israeli passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with a diplomatic passport enters without one.
Israel's clocks change, Vietnam's do not
Israel moves its clocks back in late October, so every Vietnamese cut-off shifts one hour later on your clock. The table above shows both columns; use the summer time column until October 25 and the winter column after that.
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.
