Vietnam visa for Pakistani citizens: ordinary passports need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. PKR 13,008). Rupee prices, Karachi cut-offs.
Pakistani citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Pakistani citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. PKR 13,008) all-in through us for single entry. Pakistan appears on a Vietnamese exemption list, but only for diplomatic and service passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in Pakistani rupees, urgent cut-offs in Karachi time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.

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

Visa on arrival for Pakistani citizens
Pakistani 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 Pakistan
You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Pakistan has its address and contacts if you need consular help.
Tips for Pakistani travelers
Two points help Pakistani travelers: visa on arrival offers, and the diplomatic row.
The e-visa is simpler than visa on arrival
Some agencies in Pakistan still sell visa on arrival. It needs an approval letter before you fly, works only at four airports, and adds a $25 or $50 stamping fee and a queue on landing. The e-visa costs no more through us and works at every international airport.
Diplomatic and service passports are different
The 90-day stay on Pakistan's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Pakistani passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague on a government mission enters without one.
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.
