Venezuelan citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Venezuelan citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. VES 41,144) all-in through us for single entry. Venezuela appears on a Vietnamese exemption list, but only for diplomatic and official passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in venezuelan bolívares, urgent cut-offs in Caracas time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Caracas keeps the same time all year, 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 Venezuelan citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Venezuelan citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Venezuela'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 Venezuela is absent from the later 45-day lists.
Press releases from 2023 that welcome Venezuelans to the e-visa refer to the e-visa itself, not to any waiver. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Venezuelan citizens: urgent cut-offs in Caracas time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 21:00 in Caracas.
| Order cut-off | Caracas time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 3:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 4:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 6:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 7:00 |
Example: you order on Monday at 22:00 in Caracas, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 23:30, Super Urgent by 0:30 on Tuesday and Same day by 7:00 on Tuesday, all in Caracas time. Ordered on Tuesday at 5:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 6:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 0:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 3:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 7:00 in Caracas and ends on Sunday at 5:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 4:20 and it arrives by 7:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Venezuelan citizens
Venezuelan 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 Venezuela
Vietnam has an embassy in Venezuela, but you do not need it for an e-visa, which is issued online. The Embassy of Vietnam in Caracas is at Quinta El Cigarral, 6ta Avenida, between the 8th and 9th Transversal, Altamira. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Venezuela has the details.
Tips for Venezuelan travelers
Two points help Venezuelan travelers: reading the exemption list correctly, and watching the bolívar rate.
Diplomatic and official passports are different
The 90-day stay on Venezuela's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and official or service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Venezuelan passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with an official passport enters without one.
The bolívar moves fast
The bolívar figures use the mid-market rate on October 10, 2026 and can change within days, so treat them as a guide. Your card is charged in US dollars, and your bank converts at its own rate.
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.
