Taiwan ROC passport holders need a visa for Vietnam, and they are fully eligible for the eVisa. Here is what is required, how long it takes, and what it costs.
Yes, you need a visa. Taiwan is not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list, but since Resolution 127/NQ-CP (effective 15 August 2023) opened the eVisa to citizens of all countries and territories, Taiwanese travelers can apply online just like everyone else. For around 99% of Taiwanese visitors, the eVisa is the right choice.
Yes. Taiwan ROC passport holders are not visa-exempt, unlike Japanese, South Korean, or major EU passport holders. You need a visa for tourism, business, or family visits. The eVisa is the simplest route and is the focus of this page. Three narrow exemptions can apply:
The Vietnam eVisa is an electronic visa issued by Vietnam's Immigration Department and emailed to you as a PDF. No embassy visit and no visa-on-arrival queue. For Taiwanese travelers it offers:
You can apply yourself at the official portal, evisa.gov.vn, or let us take care of the whole application for a small service fee. The government fee is identical either way; our value is reviewing every field before submission, fixing errors, offering faster processing, and giving you a real person to contact. Sticker visas are also available from the Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office (VECO) in Taipei, but they are slower and offer no advantage over the eVisa for tourism or short business.
| Option | Validity | Our fee (per applicant) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Month Single Entry | 30 days from arrival | $54 |
| 1 Month Multiple Entry | 30 days from arrival | $84 |
| 3 Month Single Entry | 90 days from arrival | $94 |
| 3 Month Multiple Entry | 90 days from arrival | $104 |
All prices include the Vietnam Immigration Department's stamp fee. The official government fee is USD 25 (single) or USD 50 (multiple) and is non-refundable even if rejected. See the full fee breakdown and currency estimator →
Times start when our team submits to Immigration, usually within 2 business hours of payment during office hours (08:00 to 21:00 GMT+7). Apply at least 10 days to 2 weeks ahead, and add a buffer around Tet and other Vietnamese holidays, when the Immigration Department is closed and expedited processing is unavailable.
Single entry covers a straight in-and-out trip. Multiple entry lets you re-enter unlimited times within the 90-day window, which is ideal if you are combining Vietnam with Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand, or flying in and out for business. The validity is the same for both; multiple entry only adds the ability to return, so the small extra cost often pays for itself if you would otherwise need a second visa.
The portal runs an automated face-match between your portrait and passport photo. Matching your pose and expression to the passport helps avoid auto-rejection, and our team checks this for you before filing.

All of these accept the eVisa:
Select "Taiwan." Vietnam's eVisa system accepts Taiwan ROC passport holders under the policy covering citizens of all countries and territories. Enter your name and passport number exactly as printed.
From the entry date you nominate, and the count includes both the arrival and the departure day. A 30-day visa entered on the 1st expires at the end of the 30th, not the 31st. Request the full window you might need, since officers issue the duration you ask for.
Not for tourism. To stay longer you exit and re-enter on a fresh eVisa. If you expect a long or complex stay, a sticker visa from VECO Taipei with a Vietnamese sponsor may suit you better; we are happy to point you in the right direction.
Not strictly, if you arrive directly, stay only on Phu Quoc, and leave within 30 days. But if a flight change or emergency could send you to the mainland, an eVisa is cheap insurance. Many travelers get one anyway.
Because we review every application before submitting, we catch most issues up front. If we identify a problem — or we anticipate that Vietnam Immigration would deny your application — we refund you in full before submitting and suggest alternatives. See our Terms and Conditions.
Vietnamese embassy and consulates: As Taiwan and Vietnam have no formal diplomatic relations, Vietnam is represented by the Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, which handles visa and consular matters in place of an embassy; consult its official channels for current information.
