• Passport with 6 months’ validity and 2 free pages

• A digital passport-style photo (JPEG/PNG, not PDF)

• A photo of your passport’s main page

• Your entry city, exit city, and first accommodation address in Vietnam

The system says 3–5 working days, but don’t risk it. Apply 2 weeks ahead. This gives you time to correct any mistakes or resubmit if needed.
