Vietnam Visa for Qatari Citizens: E-Visa Cost in Riyals and Steps
Vietnam visa for qatari citizens: ordinary passports need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. QAR 171). Riyal prices, Doha cut-offs.
Qatari citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Qatari citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. QAR 171) all-in through us for single entry. Qatar appears on a Vietnamese exemption list, but only for diplomatic and official passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in qatari riyals, urgent cut-offs in Doha time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Doha is four hours behind Vietnam all year, so Vietnam's afternoon cut-offs fall in your morning. The cut-off table below shows which speed is still open when you order.

Do Qatari citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Qatari citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Qatar'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 Qatar is absent from the later 45-day lists.
One lookup site says Qataris can stay 90 days without a visa; that reads the diplomatic column as if it were for everyone. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Qatari citizens: urgent cut-offs in Doha time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 4:00 in Doha.
| Order cut-off | Doha time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 10:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 11:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 13:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 14:00 |
Example: you order on Tuesday at 5:00 in Doha, 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 Doha 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 Doha and ends on Sunday at 12:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 11:20 and it arrives by 14:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Qatari citizens
Qatari 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 Qatar
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 Qatar. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Qatar collects the details.
Tips for Qatari travelers
Two points help Qatari travelers: reading the exemption list correctly, and using the short time gap.
Diplomatic and official passports are different
The 90-day stay on Qatar's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and official or service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Qatari passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with an official passport enters without one.
Four hours is a short gap
An order placed at 8:00 in Doha reaches Vietnam at noon, in the middle of its working day. The Same day cut-off falls at 10:15 in Doha and the Emergency cut-off at 13:30, so a morning order keeps every speed open.
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.
