Since Vietnam opened its electronic visa (E-Visa) system to global citizens (including Chinese citizens) for 90-day single/multiple entry applications, the process of traveling to Vietnam has been greatly simplified. However, despite the “official promise of 3-5 business days” for processing, many applicants, especially Chinese passport holders, still face long waits or find themselves without a visa just before their departure date.
👉 Why the Delay?
If you’ve been waiting for more than 5 business days, or if your departure is less than 72 hours away, it’s time to initiate the “Expedite & Urgent Processing” process!
💡 [Key Point] The Golden Rule for Expediting & Urgent Processing for Chinese Citizens
For Chinese passport holders, where visa reviews might be stricter, using a professional, local, and reputable agency for “urgent visa expediting” is almost the only reliable method to get your visa quickly.
❌ Limitations of Contacting the Official Website: The official Government Portal typically lacks an open and efficient “expedite” channel or emergency contact method. Sending emails to inquire about status is often ineffective and time-consuming.
✅ Advantages of Using an Agency: Professional agencies have direct and fast communication channels with the Vietnam Immigration Department. They can perform “manual tracking” and “accelerated review” for your submitted application.
Whether you applied on the official website and haven’t heard back, or your application was rejected due to incorrect information, following these steps can help you get your visa in the shortest possible time.
Step 1: Prepare Your “Expedite Request Documents”
Before contacting an agency, prepare the following necessary information to help them quickly locate your application record:
Departure date, flight information (providing a screenshot of your ticket is better), and intended entry port.
Step 2: Immediately Contact a “Reliable Agency”
Choose a travel agency or visa service provider that offers “Urgent Expedite Services.” These agencies often provide 24/7 LINE or WeChat customer support.
Step 3: Choose an “Expedite Level” and Complete Payment
The agency will offer different “Expedited Service” options based on your urgency. Choose the level that best fits your timeline. Note that expedited service fees are significantly higher than standard visa fees.
⚠️ Common Error Check: Avoid E-Visa Application Delays
The following common mistakes often lead to E-Visa application rejection or delay. Applicants must double-check:
Invalid Photo: The ID photo must have a white background, be taken within the last six months, with no shadows on the face, and no glasses or hats.
Blurry Passport Scan: The passport bio-data page must be fully visible with all four corners, clear without glare, and valid for more than 3 months.
Incorrect Entry Port: The “entry port” filled in the application must match the actual airport/port you will enter through.
Wrong Name/Date of Birth/Passport Number: Any information inconsistent with the passport will lead to rejection or entry difficulties.
📢 Reminder: If you made a mistake while applying on the official website leading to rejection, you don’t necessarily have to re-apply on the website! Professional agencies can also provide “Emergency E-Visa Data Correction” services, quickly fixing errors and resubmitting the application for you.
