The Vietnam e-visa
If you are a British national, you are allowed to stay in Vietnam for up to 45 days without a visa, as long as you are travelling for a holiday or to visit family or friends. Travellers with Irish nationality always need a visa.
Do you want to stay in Vietnam for longer than 45 days? In that case, you will need an e-visa, also called electronic travel authorisation. The e-visa is the easiest way to comply with Vietnam's visa requirements, as it allows you to stay in Vietnam for up to 90 consecutive days. The visa on arrival is not available anymore for Vietnam.
