Vietnam e-visa for Swiss citizens

The foreigners arriving to Vietnam these days have many questions about Vietnam e-visa which is officially launched on February 1, 2017 by the Vietnamese Government in its pilot plan until February 1, 2021. For the Swiss citizens, the first question should be: Vietnam e-visa is available for Switzerland passport or not?

To answer this question, we are sorry to inform that at the moment, Swiss citizens are NOT eligible for Vietnam e-visa. In the first stage of this plan, this kind of visa is available for just 46 nationalities (the full list can be found here). Further nationalities may be added from time to time, but we are not sure about time of this move.

So, how to obtain Vietnam visa for Swiss citizens at the moment?

The traditional ways to get Vietnam visa for Swiss remain the same as previously with two options as follows:

  • Getting visa via the Vietnam embassy; or
  • Getting Vietnam visa on arrival.
