I. 2027 Vietnam E-Visa Policy: Globally Open, Applicable to Hong Kong The Vietnam Electronic Visa (E-Visa) was reformed through Resolution No.
The meeting invitation from Jakarta is already sitting in your inbox, your partner in Ho Chi Minh City is waiting to sign the contract, and the exhibition booth rent in Hanoi is fully paid—yet you are still in Indonesia, and your visa is nowhere to be found. This anxiety is the most genuine source of pressure for Chinese business travelers residing in Indonesia.
Whether you are a supply chain management professional working in Jakarta, a Taiwanese business owner operating in Surabaya, or a Chinese traveler who decided to fly to Vietnam on a whim after a vacation in Bali—your passport is a Chinese passport, not an Indonesian one. Indonesian citizens enjoy visa-free entry to Vietnam for up to 30 days, but this privilege does not apply to you. Your Chinese passport dictates that you must secure a valid visa before departure.
The good news is that you do not need to visit the Embassy of Vietnam in Jakarta in person. The Vietnam Electronic Visa (E-Visa) has been fully opened to citizens of all countries and territories globally. No matter which city in Indonesia you are in—Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, or Bali—as long as you have internet access, you can complete the entire application process online.
Vietnam’s E-Visa policy underwent major reforms under Resolution No. 127/NQ-CP, further refined its system in 2026, and continues to optimize in 2027. Here are the essential points that Chinese applicants in Indonesia need to know:
⚠️ Do Not Mix Up Business and Tourist Visas Vietnamese law strictly defines that a Business Visa (DN) is restricted to business activities such as attending meetings, market surveys, and signing contracts. Engaging in business activities with a Tourist Visa (DL) may result in fines or even deportation. Please ensure you apply for the correct visa category.
Before filling out the application form, please prepare the following electronic files:
Passport Scan Copy: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry; a complete photo of the entire data page with no glare or obstruction.

Vietnam Contact Information:

Vietnam Time Zone: UTC+7
Indonesia Time Zones:
Western (Jakarta, Medan): UTC+7 (No time difference with Vietnam)
Central (Bali, Surabaya): UTC+8 (1 hour ahead of Vietnam)
Eastern: UTC+9 (2 hours ahead of Vietnam) If you are located in regions such as Bali or Surabaya, please pay attention to Vietnam time deadlines when submitting applications.
E-Series Electronic Passports (Biometric Passports): Holders of mainland Chinese passports (especially the new E-series electronic passports) approved for a Vietnam E-Visa must still proceed to the “Visa on Arrival” counter upon arrival at a Vietnamese airport to receive a free Loose-leaf Visa. Please ensure you bring two 2-inch white-background photos. The visa exchange is free, but queue times may be long.
Phu Quoc Island Visa-Exemption Exception: If your itinerary is strictly limited to Phu Quoc Island and you fly directly into Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC), you enjoy a 30-day visa-free stay. However, if any of the following conditions apply, the visa-free policy does not apply, and you must apply for a visa in advance:
Your itinerary covers Vietnamese cities other than Phu Quoc.
You transit to Phu Quoc via other cities.
Your passport validity is less than 6 months.
If you have already submitted your application on the official website but it remains stuck in “Processing” or you have been asked to amend documents—the official system does not have an “expedite button.” At this point, a professional expediting service is your only solution.
Depending on your departure time, you can choose from the following acceleration options:
📌 30-Minute Express Option: For extreme emergencies, 30 to 60-minute express processing services are available. For this option, please contact us directly to confirm availability.
💡 Handling Two Types of Emergencies:
Scenario 1: Application number exists, but status is “Processing” (Speed up processing)
Required information: Application number, registration email, date of birth.
You can choose completion within 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, or 2 days for approval.
Scenario 2: Received an Amendment Notice (Amended)
If time permits, you can attempt to amend it yourself. If re-submitting keeps getting rejected, or if you only have 3 to 4 days left before departure, we strongly recommend contacting us directly. Our professional team will assist with document amendment + expediting to guarantee timely issuance.
This is a headache for many Chinese travelers—after receiving the visa PDF, you discover a misspelled name, a wrong passport number, or an incorrect date of birth.
❌ Official Modification Is Impossible: Once a Vietnamese electronic visa application has been submitted or successfully issued, the official Vietnam Immigration system does not provide any online modification features. If the information on the visa does not match your physical passport, the visa becomes instantly invalid and must be re-applied for.
