Ever heard of travellers being stopped at check-in because their Vietnam visa didn’t match their flight?

Sadly, it happens more often than you’d think. In this no-holds-barred episode of the What About Vietnam podcast, I take you step by step through the visa maze — from exemptions to e-visas — so you can avoid the heartbreak of being denied boarding before your holiday even begins.

With new rules for 2025, e-visas are now open to all nationalities, and exemptions have been extended. Sounds simple, right? Well, the devil is in the details. A single typo or misunderstanding can cost you precious time and money. That’s why I’ve put this episode together: to give you clear guidance, in plain English, so you know exactly what to do.

In this episode, I become the devil of detail explaining in simple language;-

  • The latest visa exemption updates for 2025 (the official Vietnam Immigration link for the full country list below).
  • The two types of e-visas available and which one best suits your trip.
  • Common pitfalls that stop travellers at the airport — and how to avoid them.
  • How to prepare your application with the right documents and photos.
  • The timeline for applying, and why leaving it too late is a risky move.
  • What “visa runs” really mean
  • Real-life stories from travellers who got caught out — and how it was resolved

I have tried to cover all kinds of instances to help make sure you “Get it right”, first go. No sweat!

And if all of this still feels like a bit too much — that’s exactly where I can help. Through What About Vietnam travel services, I can arrange fast-track arrivals, curated itineraries, and personal guidance with fixes if needed, so feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]
