Do Portuguese citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
According to the Vietnam visa exemption list 2026, Portugal is currently not on the visa-exempt list. Portuguese citizens need a visa before arrival, most commonly an e-visa from evisa.gov.vn, valid for up to 90 days with single or multiple entry. The government fee is USD 25 (single) or USD 50 (multiple).
Legalising documents from Portugal for use in Vietnam
Vietnam has acceded to the 1961 Apostille Convention, which entered into force for Vietnam on 11 September 2026. Portugal is a party to the Convention and, according to the HCCH status table, did not object to Vietnam’s accession. Public documents from Portugal can be apostilled in Portugal, then translated with a notarised Vietnamese translation in Vietnam. As practice is still new, check with the receiving authority first; if it does not accept apostilles yet, use consular legalisation through the Embassy of Vietnam in Portugal.
- Degrees and professional certificates: needed for a work permit.
- Criminal record certificates: a required part of a work permit file.
- Birth and marriage certificates: used for marriage registration, a child’s birth registration, or a family residence card.
See our consular legalisation service and Vietnam work permit service to prepare the right documents from the start.

FAQ
What are the opening hours of the Embassy of Vietnam in Portugal?
The MOFA portal does not publish opening hours for this embassy. Check the official website once available or call before visiting.
Do I need an appointment?
It is best to contact the embassy by phone or email first to confirm the documents required and reception times, especially for passports, civil status and legalisation.
Should I apply at the embassy or get an e-visa?
For ordinary tourism and business trips, the e-visa at evisa.gov.vn is the fastest option because you do not have to visit the embassy. An embassy visa suits diplomatic or official passports, or travellers who already hold an approved approval letter.
