Indonesian passport holders can visit Vietnam visa-free for up to 30 days. Here is exactly how the visa-free entry works, when you still need an eVisa, and how we can arrange one for a longer stay.
No visa needed for short stays. Indonesian citizens can visit Vietnam visa-free for up to 30 days per entry, so most holidays and short business trips need no visa at all. You only need the eVisa (valid up to 90 days, single or multiple entry) if you plan to stay longer than 30 days or want multiple entries. Indonesia is one of Vietnam's fastest-rising ASEAN markets, with arrivals jumping roughly 75% in 2024 and continuing to grow in 2025 as direct routes are added.

No, not for a short trip. Indonesian passport holders can enter Vietnam visa-free for up to 30 days per stay. The exemption covers tourism, business, family visits, and transit, and it is honoured at airports, land borders, and seaports. You only need a visa — most simply the online eVisa — if your stay will run longer than 30 days, or you want the flexibility of multiple entries.
Here is exactly how the 30-day visa-free entry works, and the conditions to meet before you fly:
Under the bilateral Vietnam-Indonesia visa-exemption agreement, Indonesian citizens may enter visa-free for up to 30 days; the agreement is open-ended and remains in force in 2026.
The visa exemption covers most short trips, but the eVisa is the right call in these cases:
The Vietnam eVisa is an electronic visa issued by Vietnam's Immigration Department and emailed to you as a PDF, valid up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, and accepted at all 83 designated entry points. You can apply yourself at the official portal, evisa.gov.vn, or let us handle the whole application for a small service fee. The government fee is identical either way; what we add is a review of every field before submission, error correction, faster processing options, and a real person to email if anything looks off.

| Option | Validity | Our fee (per applicant) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Month Single Entry | 30 days from arrival | $54 |
| 1 Month Multiple Entry | 30 days from arrival | $84 |
| 3 Month Single Entry | 90 days from arrival | $94 |
| 3 Month Multiple Entry | 90 days from arrival | $104 |
All prices include the Vietnam Immigration Department's stamp fee, with no hidden add-ons. The official government fee is USD 25 (single entry) or USD 50 (multiple entry) and is non-refundable even if an application is rejected, which is exactly why our pre-submission review matters. Your card is charged in USD, so your bank applies its own exchange rate to Indonesian rupiah. See the full fee breakdown and currency estimator →
Times start when our team submits your application to Immigration, usually within 2 business hours of payment during office hours (08:00 to 21:00 GMT+7). Apply at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead where you can, and add a buffer around Vietnamese public holidays such as Tet, when the Immigration Department is closed and even urgent processing pauses.
Single entry is enough for a one-way visit, even with domestic flights inside Vietnam (Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc all count as one entry). Multiple entry is the right choice if you plan to leave and re-enter, for example a regional itinerary through Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand, or a cruise that calls at several Vietnamese ports. Both options carry the same 90-day maximum, so if there is any chance you will leave and return, choose multiple entry.
⚠️ Do not overstay. Under the December 2025 fine schedule, overstays draw tiered penalties rising to as much as VND 40 million for the most serious cases, plus possible deportation and a future entry ban. On arrival, check that the exit date stamped in your passport matches your permitted stay, and leave on or before that date.
A non-compliant photo or bio-page scan is the single most common cause of a stuck or rejected application. Our team checks yours against the requirements before anything is filed.

Your visa-free entry and the eVisa are both accepted at these gateways:
No — Indonesian passport holders can enter Vietnam visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism or short business under a bilateral agreement.
Apply for a Vietnam eVisa for up to 90 days, accepted at 83 entry points including major airports.
Yes — keep at least 6 months' validity beyond your entry date and blank pages for stamps. Proof of onward travel is recommended.
Because we review every application before submitting, we catch most issues up front, such as a passport expiring within 6 months. If we spot a problem — or we anticipate that Vietnam Immigration would deny your application — we refund you in full before submitting and suggest alternatives. See our Terms and Conditions.
