Vietnam Visa for Micronesian Citizens: E-Visa Cost in US Dollars and Steps
Vietnam visa for micronesian citizens: you need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47, paid in the US dollars you already use. Palikir cut-offs and steps.
Micronesian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Micronesian citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 all-in through us for single entry. Micronesia, meaning the Federated States of Micronesia, is on none of Vietnam's exemption lists, so a Micronesian passport gets no visa-free stay. This page covers the e-visa, prices (already in your own currency), urgent cut-offs in Palikir time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Palikir is four hours ahead of Vietnam all year, so the Vietnamese working day starts at 12:00 on your clock and Same day closes at 18:15. The cut-off table below shows which speed is still open when you order.

Do Micronesian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Micronesian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Micronesia is not on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026), and it is not among the 12 countries added to the 45-day list by Resolution 229/NQ-CP, in force from August 15, 2025.
One lookup page says Micronesians can stay 90 days without a visa, and another says only that an electronic authorization is needed; the Ministry's table shows no exemption. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Micronesian citizens: urgent cut-offs in Palikir time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 12:00 in Palikir.
| Order cut-off | Palikir time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 18:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 19:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 21:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 22:00 |
Example: you order on Tuesday at 13:00 in Palikir, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 14:30, Super Urgent by 15:30 and Same day by 22:00, all in Palikir time. Ordered on Tuesday at 20:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 21:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 15:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 18:00.

Micronesian 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.

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 Micronesia.
Tips for Micronesian travelers
Two points help Micronesian travelers: which Micronesia the page covers, and which clock the cut-offs use.
This page is for the Federated States of Micronesia
Micronesia is also the name of a wider island region that includes Guam, Kiribati, Nauru and the Marshall Islands. This page covers holders of a Federated States of Micronesia passport. Travelers from those other places should read their own country's page.
Palikir time, one hour apart in Chuuk and Yap
The table uses Palikir (Pohnpei) time, UTC+11. Chuuk and Yap are one hour behind Pohnpei at UTC+10, so subtract one hour from each cut-off if you order from there. Kosrae shares Pohnpei time.
