If you are a Chinese citizen in the United States holding a Chinese passport and facing an urgent need to travel to Vietnam, the standard official E-visa processing time (typically 3-5 business days) may not meet your needs. This article provides the fastest and most reliable “Expedited” processing guide for 2026, ensuring you can secure your Vietnam E-visa in the shortest possible time.
When time is critical and your itinerary cannot tolerate any delays, opting for the expedited services offered by professional travel agencies or visa service providers is your best route.
| Feature | Official Channel (Standard) | Professional Agency (Expedited) |
| Processing Speed | 3-5 Business Days | As fast as 2-4 hours, 8 hours, or 24 hours |
| Success Rate | You bear all risks | Extremely high, professional handling of contingencies |
| Operation Difficulty | Requires navigating the online process yourself | Only requires submitting electronic documents; fully managed service |
| Cost Structure | Official government fee only | Official government fee + High expedited service fee |
| Suitable For | Sufficient time, limited budget | Urgent travel, those with strict time constraints |
💡 Key Advantage: The high expedited fee secures certainty of time and professional assurance, preventing delays caused by small errors—making it the preferred option for emergency travel.
Regardless of the channel chosen, the following two electronic documents are the core requirements for a Vietnam E-visa application. Ensure you prepare clear electronic versions in advance.
| Document Name | Specific Requirements | Format & Size |
| 1. Passport Data Page Scan | Color scan, clear, no glare or obstruction; all information, photo, and signature must be clearly legible. | JPG or JPEG format |
| 2. Personal ID Photo | 4cm x 6cm size, white background; must be a front-facing shot, no hats or colored glasses allowed. | JPG or JPEG format |
⭐ Note: The clarity of your documents is crucial for the speed of urgent processing. Blurry or non-compliant documents will directly lead to delays.
The process for an expedited E-visa through a professional agency is significantly simplified. You only need to focus on providing the documents and payment; the agency handles the complicated procedures.
Step 1: Contact a Professional Agency Immediately contact your chosen service provider via phone, Email: info@yuenanyuenan.com, or messaging apps (e.g., LINE/WeChat: vietnam-visa) and state your urgency (e.g., need issuance within 24 hours). Discuss and select the required visa type (1 month/3 months, single/multiple entry) and the level of expediting (2-4 hours, 8 hours, 1 business day, etc.).
Step 2: Complete the Online Application Form and Submit Documents Follow the link to apply (select E-visa): https://www.yuenanyuenan.com/apply/ and fill in basic personal and itinerary information. Upload the prepared scan of your passport data page and your personal ID photo.
Step 3: Complete Payment Confirm the total fee, which includes the official government fee and the expedited service charge. Complete the payment. The agency will immediately start the expedited process.
Step 4: Receive E-visa Approval via Email Within the agreed-upon expedited time frame (e.g., 2-4 hours or 1 day), you will receive the Vietnam Electronic Visa Approval Letter (usually a PDF file) via Email.
The fees are divided by single and multiple entry and vary based on the required expedited time. The shorter the processing time, the higher the cost.

After successfully obtaining your E-visa through the expedited application, you will receive an Electronic Visa Approval Letter (usually in PDF format).
⚠️ Special Requirement for Chinese Citizens: Vietnam often processes a separate loose-leaf visa for Chinese citizens. At the Immigration counter, the officer will take your E-visa approval letter and issue you a separate loose-leaf visa. Ensure you receive and keep this loose-leaf visa safe.
For travelers using the expedited service and racing against time, the biggest challenge upon arrival at a Vietnamese airport is often the long queue at Customs. To achieve truly “Ultra-Fast” entry, we strongly recommend booking the VIP Fast-Track Service concurrently ($45/person, which will be recommended during the application).
🌟 Tip: Since you have already paid a high fee for the expedited E-visa, adding the small VIP service fee maximizes the return on your “time investment,” ensuring the overall urgency of your journey is secured.
