Do Ukrainian citizens need a visa for Vietnam? Yes: Ukraine is not on Vietnam’s unilateral visa-exemption list and there is no bilateral exemption for ordinary passports, so Ukrainian travellers need a visa. The easiest Vietnam visa for Ukrainian citizens is the e-visa, valid up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, applied for online at evisa.gov.vn. For work, business or family stays there are sponsored visas and residence cards. Info Travel advises on and handles e-visas, approval letters and residence cards; WhatsApp +84327828822.
Do Ukrainians need a visa for Vietnam in 2026?
Vietnam’s visa-free lists in 2026 consist of the bilateral agreements (mainly ASEAN countries and a few others such as Kazakhstan) and the 45-day unilateral exemptions under Government resolutions (for example 44/NQ-CP and 229/NQ-CP, which cover a defined list of European and Asian countries). Ukraine is not included for ordinary passport holders. Since the 2023 amendments to the immigration law, however, citizens of all countries can apply for an e-visa valid up to 90 days, which makes the trip simple to arrange. Travellers searching “виза во вьетнам для украинцев” get the same answer: apply for the e-visa before you fly.
Before booking:
- Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months.
- Choose the port of entry you will actually use (airport, land border or seaport).
- Check current flight routes with your airline.

A Vietnam visa approval letter is filed by a sponsor in Vietnam (company, school or family) and lets you collect a visa at a Vietnamese mission or, where the letter allows it, on arrival at an international airport.
How to apply for the e-visa from Ukraine

- Pay the state fee online and save your registration code.
- Processing usually takes around 3 working days; download and print the e-visa.
See the e-visa application guide for each field. Need it within days? Our urgent Vietnam visa service can help.
A few practical points cause most problems at the border. The e-visa is tied to the passport you used to apply, so if you renew your passport before travelling you need a new e-visa. Enter through the port you declared where possible, and keep a printed copy as well as a digital one. Your entry stamp shows the permitted stay, which cannot go beyond the e-visa’s end date. If you prefer help on arrival, our airport fast track and pickup service can help you through the arrival formalities.
Working, investing or living long-term
- Employment: the employer obtains a work permit (or exemption confirmation), then a LĐ visa and residence card. Ukrainian diplomas and criminal record certificates must be consular-legalised and translated.
- Family: spouses, children and parents of Vietnamese citizens can be sponsored for a TT visa and family residence card.
- Business: a Vietnamese company can sponsor a DN visa through an approval letter.
- Investors: capital contributors may qualify for an ĐT visa and long-term card.
A temporary residence card replaces repeated visas for eligible residents.
Extensions and overstay
An e-visa cannot simply be stretched beyond its dates. A new visa or extension inside Vietnam needs a sponsoring company, organisation or Vietnamese relative and is handled under current rules; otherwise leave before expiry and apply for a new e-visa. Overstays are fined under Decree 282/2025/ND-CP – VND 0.5–2 million for fewer than 16 days, more for longer – see Vietnam visa overstay fines.
Embassy of Ukraine in Vietnam
For passport renewal, lost passports and consular services, contact the Embassy of Ukraine in Hanoi. Vietnamese visas are issued by Vietnam’s immigration authority or Vietnamese missions abroad, not by the embassy.

Up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, within the dates on the e-visa.
Can I visit Phu Quoc without a visa?
Yes, up to 30 days if you enter directly through Phu Quoc’s international port of entry and stay on the island. Travelling to other provinces requires a visa.
Can I work in Vietnam on an e-visa?
No. Work requires a work permit (or exemption confirmation) and a LĐ visa or residence card sponsored by the employer.
