Vietnam e-Visa Requirements for Irish Passport Holders
Before you fill out any form — does your passport and trip actually qualify? Here's exactly what's checked.
Quick answer
Irish passport holders qualify for a Vietnam e-Visa if their passport is valid at least 6 months beyond the entry date, has at least one blank page, and the trip is for tourism, business, or another eligible short-term purpose — not employment or long-term stay.
Eligibility at a glance
Eligible
- Passport valid 6+ months beyond entry date
- At least one blank passport page
- Tourism, business, or eligible short visits
- Single or multiple entry, up to 90 days
Not covered
- Employment or long-term work assignments
- Passport valid less than 6 months from entry
- No blank page remaining
- Diplomatic/official passports (separate process)
The 6-month rule is checked precisely. A passport with 5 months and 3 weeks left doesn't qualify — there's no rounding or grace period.
Document checklist
- Irish passport, biographical page scanned clearly
- Recent compliant portrait photo — see photo requirements
- Confirmed entry date and port of entry
- For children: individual passport and photo — no exceptions

Frequently asked questions
Do Irish citizens need a visa for short trips to Vietnam?
Yes — Irish passport holders are not visa-exempt for Vietnam regardless of trip length.
Can an Irish citizen apply for a work visa through this process?
No, the standard e-Visa covers tourism and business visits only — employment requires a separate visa category.
What if my passport has exactly 6 months of validity?
This is generally acceptable, but extra buffer is safer since validity is checked precisely with no grace period.
Do children need their own e-Visa?
Yes, every traveler including infants needs an individual e-Visa — none can travel on a parent's document.
