🇻🇳 Vietnam visa requirements for Taiwanese citizens

Entry rules for Taiwan passport holders

Before traveling to Vietnam, Taiwanese citizens must apply for an electronic visa through the official Vietnam government portal. Processing usually takes from a few hours to a few business days, so apply well before your flight. Print a copy of the approval to show at check-in and on arrival.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Vietnam immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The reverse trip is easier: Vietnamese citizens can enter Taiwan eta required.

Across South-Eastern Asia as a whole, 8 of 11 destinations are open to Taiwanese travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
