Guide last updated September 8, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry
  • No visa application required; only the standard arrival/departure information collected electronically or via form
  • Proof of onward/return travel may be requested by immigration or checked by the airline
  • No minimum fund documentation typically required
  • No visa photo needed for visa-exempt entry
  • No biometrics collected beyond standard immigration photo/fingerprint scanning used for all arrivals
  • Travel health insurance recommended but not mandatory

Visa types

  • Visa-exempt tourist/business entry — up to 30 days, single entry per stay, no fee, based on the ASEAN mutual visa exemption
  • Vietnam e-Visa — needed only if a return within 30 days of a previous visa-exempt entry is planned, or for stays beyond 30 days; fee USD 25, apply at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn
  • Business/work visa — required for employment, sponsored by a local company

Entry conditions

  • Up to 30 days visa-free per entry
  • A new visa-exempt entry is not permitted within 30 days of a previous visa-exempt exit — you must wait out that period or use an e-Visa instead
  • No paid work permitted while on visa-exempt entry
  • Extensions beyond 30 days require applying for a visa (e-Visa or through a local travel agent) before the exemption period ends

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the visa-exempt 30-day entry
  • No VFS/service fee for visa-exempt entry
  • Total cost: none for entry itself
  • No processing time since no application is filed for visa-exempt entry
  • If applying for an e-Visa instead (e.g., for repeat visits), fee is USD 25, processing 3 working days

Tips for Singapore travelers

  • Track your entry/exit dates carefully — re-entering within 30 days of a previous visa-exempt exit will be refused at the border
  • Common issues stem from expired/damaged passports rather than visa problems, since the process is visa-free
  • No embassy or VFS visit needed for the standard 30-day exemption
  • Keep both a digital and printed copy of your return ticket, as it's occasionally checked
  • If you need frequent short trips to Vietnam, an e-Visa (multi-entry options available) may be more convenient than relying on the visa-exempt window
