Q: Is the Vietnam government e-Visa fee the same regardless of who processes the application?

In Short

Standard Vietnam e-Visa processing for Australians costs $50 total, including the government fee. Urgent tiers range from $90 (3 days) up to $215 (30–60 minutes). Multiple-entry adds $25. Any quote that doesn't separate the government fee from the service fee is worth double-checking before you pay.

Part One

The Two Fees Bundled Into Every Quote

Every Vietnam e-Visa price is actually two fees combined: the government fee, paid to Vietnam Immigration regardless of who processes your application, and the service fee, which covers document checking, faster processing, and support. A transparent provider shows both; one that only shows a single bundled number is harder to verify against the government's actual rate.

Hidden-Fee Tactics Worth Watching For

A headline price that excludes the government fee, added only at checkout
"Processing fees" or "service charges" appearing after you've already entered payment details
Cash-only payment demanded at the airport for a service you already paid for online
No itemized breakdown available on request

Ask directly if a quote seems bundled. A legitimate provider can immediately tell you the government fee and service fee separately — hesitation on this question is itself a signal.
