Flying to Vietnam Tomorrow? US Citizen Visa in Hours

Updated: October 13, 2026 By Visa Specialist

Your flight to Vietnam is tomorrow and you do not have a visa yet. US citizens cannot board without an approved e-Visa, but an urgent e-Visa can still arrive in hours. This guide gives you a plan from tonight to check-in: which package, when to order, what to send, and what it costs.

In short

US citizens need an approved e-Visa before boarding. For a flight tomorrow, the hour packages are the safe choice: 5 hours $125, 2.5 hours $155, 1.5 hours $185, 30–60 minutes $215 (single entry, government fee included; multiple entry adds $25). They run on Vietnam working hours, Monday to Friday, so order at the right time of your day. Approval is decided by Vietnam Immigration and cannot be guaranteed.

When should I place the order from the US?

Hour packages are counted in Vietnam working hours, Monday to Friday, 8:00–11:30 and 13:30–18:00 (GMT+7). During US daylight saving, Vietnam is 11 hours ahead of Eastern, 12 ahead of Central and 14 ahead of Pacific; after 1 November the gap grows by one hour.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a Vietnam visa in time for a flight tomorrow?
Often yes, if you order early enough. Hour packages run from 30–60 minutes ($215) to 5 hours ($125) and are counted in Vietnam working hours. Approval is decided by Vietnam Immigration and cannot be guaranteed, so leave a margin before check-in closes.
Which package should I choose for a flight tomorrow?
Choose by the hours between your order and check-in closing: under 2 hours, 30–60 minutes ($215); 2 to 3 hours, 1.5 hours ($185); 3 to 5 hours, 2.5 hours ($155); 6 hours or more, 5 hours ($125).
Why not choose a 1-day package?
Day packages are counted in Vietnam working days, not 24 clock hours, so for a flight tomorrow the hour packages are the safe choice. Message us your flight time and we confirm what fits.
What time should I order from the US?
Vietnam is closed from 18:00 its time, which is 07:00 Eastern, 06:00 Central and 04:00 Pacific in daylight time, and reopens at 08:00, which is 21:00 Eastern, 20:00 Central and 18:00 Pacific the evening before. An order placed in the US daytime waits for Vietnam to reopen.
Do US citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. US passport holders need a visa to enter Vietnam. There is no visa-free entry and no visa on arrival for US citizens. Check current rules on evisa.gov.vn.
How much does an urgent Vietnam visa cost for US citizens?
All-in single entry: 30–60 minutes $215, 1.5 hours $185, 2.5 hours $155, 5 hours $125, 1 day $110, 2 days $100, 3 days $90, 4 days $65, normal $50, weekend or holiday $230. Multiple entry adds $25.
My flight is on a weekend. Is that different?
Yes. The government portal does not process on weekends, so use the weekend and holiday service at $230. Pay by 15:00 Vietnam time to receive the e-Visa by 18:00 the same day.
I already applied and it is still processing. What now?
Do not apply again. Send us your application code and we speed up the existing file. Speed-up fees run from $70 (3 days) to $185 (30–60 minutes), and $210 for weekends and holidays.
Will the airline let me board with a pending application?
Airlines check entry documents at check-in and rules vary by airline and route. A pending application is not a visa, so plan to hold the approved e-Visa on your phone before you reach the desk.
What if the deadline is missed?
If we accept your case, confirm a deadline and fail to deliver on time, you are refunded for our service. The government fee is not refundable once the application has been submitted to Vietnam Immigration, and we cannot refund airline tickets.
