Are you flying to Vietnam tomorrow or the day after, only to realize you haven’t applied for a visa? Or is your self-applied E-visa stuck in “Processing” with no end in sight? Don’t panic! Even if you only have two days or 24 hours left, you can still obtain a Vietnam visa through the correct channels and board your plane on time. This article will guide you on how to get your visa in the shortest time possible for peace of mind.
Standard E-visas usually take 3–5 working days; applying by yourself within two days is generally impossible.
If you have already applied via the official site but haven’t received it with only 2 days left: Use a professional agency’s Expedited Service (Push Service). You can receive it within 20 minutes to 4 hours. Services are available 24/7, even on holidays. Fee: 80–100 USD.

If you haven’t applied yet: Apply directly through an agency for Emergency E-visa Service (approx. 110 USD).

The official processing time for a Vietnam E-visa is 3–5 working days, but in practice, it often takes 5–7 working days. If you only have 2 days left, applying yourself is extremely risky. Furthermore, if there are errors in your data or photos, your application may be rejected without a refund, forcing you to start over.
Additionally, Vietnam’s public holidays (such as the Hung Kings’ Festival in April, Reunification Day on April 30, Labor Day on May 1, National Day on Sept 2, and Tet) cause significant delays. In April 2026, several consecutive holidays will extend processing times. If you are flying in two days, it is best to abandon the self-application and opt for professional Emergency VOA or Expedited E-visa services.
