You're welcome!

Welcoming? Lol, you must be new around here.

Chinese visas aren't welcoming anymore but Vietnam visas are. That's something else from the people. Chinese are far more welcoming and friendly to new foreigners. I mean the people. not the government. Vietnamese. uhh.. oh dear. I mean, they don't actually have a concept of 'welcoming' someone in their culture but it's not only that cultural aberration. Well.. its better to just leave it there. I like and admire your good spirit.

Hi there! I am having trouble paying for the visa. What dimensions is the passport photo supposed to be? Thank you!

@@sustwins2085 Hi, when it rejected me, it showed the dimensions that were needed or the pixels. Just write them down, go to a free online photo resizer make those dimensions save and use it. Took me 3 or 4 goes to get it right.

Hi there, how does the multiple entries work? Do you have to get out of the country and enter it again or do you stay pass the 90 days and be ok?

@@Jiparo5612 yes you have to leave and re-enter, check how long your allowed to stay in Vietnam with your nationality. Search in google Visa requirements Vietnam for your nationality

@@Jiparo5612it means you can exit and enter anytime

Make sure you getca teaching contract BEFORE you come. They do require certification.

@@vbmorra I was informed the opposite. That's it is easier if you are inside the country plus the pay is better.

​@@arabdigitalnomadsl got same Info l will be in HCM City next mounth😉

other than reducing size did you change the dimensions>

@@LustWanders-fe3ld kept the same dimensions. Just saved in a smaller file size.

Could I check for how long the visa is valid until entry? I will go to vietnam on Jan. 5 and wondering if can apply now already? Since in the form you can fill in the exact days of your travel Periode. Thanks for your help

Are you American citizen

did you use the same website as he said or old evisa website?

Do you fall under the category of nationalities that are exempt for 45 days?

@@ellejardine6675 Canadian citizen...not exempt

Hi! Does your eVisa have a photo on it? If not, did you bring a visa photo(s) to present to immigration upon arrival?

It is not a big market, so it would likely be difficult to find a company to sponsor your work permit.

The captcha function is not working to review or make changes to submitted application. They still have a few kinks to work out.

howd it go?

Did you do a visa run?

@@robertivers306 I did one and I am now in Vietnam. There is indeed a English button in the top right. Go for it. Seems like they are handing them out like candy. But act fast Vietnam changes their mind every second it seems.

45 days will likely be enough time to help you secure a job, yes. Yes, as UK citizen you can get 45 days on arrival, no visa needed and nothing else you need to organize ahead of flying in.

What is the new link? And what is the difference between them

​ @Bape13 The new link is accessed to the Immigration website instead of on Ministry of Public Security. The required information is the same but the Immigration system is more friendly and easy-to-use then

I have applied but no option to pay the fee?

@@BevBailey-cx5ie If you haven't paid you haven't applied. I would redo it. The payment choices come up after you have submitted the photos in the required format and you have completed all required fields.

You just leave Vietnam by the time the current evisa expires and come back with a new evisa. It is not possible to extend a Vietnam e visa till now.

Oh OK, thank you. That sounds easy enough then. Thank you for the quick reply!@@vietnamvisavoa88

@@pepesegovia7245 I'm in a similar situation. Were you able to print it?

I’ve been doing my certification with International TEFL Academy 11 week online course and there services and information have been second to none for me. They are based in Chicago USA 🇺🇸!

It’s a fairly well known online TEFL course. I’d say it probably has the same pros and cons as most online TEFL courses in that price range - enough to potentially get your foot in the door for a job but not providing the practical skills and teaching practicum that classroom based courses do, which employers ideally want teachers to have. We have had a few people upgrade from their course to our in-class TEFL program in Vietnam for those reasons (we offer a discount for those who have already taken an online course through another company).

Hi Alex your reply is greatly appreciated thank you. A 20hr practicum teaching component is also required to recieve the certification, in my case having just finished my teaching hours in Toronto. In addition, I have also stumbled across the Ninja Teacher Vietnam program and have been nothing more but amazed with the organization you put together! Do you have a Korea program or only southeast Asia for now?@@ninja.teacher

I have similar question please. I signed up with Teacher Records TEFL course online, a Chinese own website. How legit is it in Vietnam?

Jamie, I did the same course. I've been teaching in Vietnam for 5 years. It will get you into 90% of the jobs here. For IELTS training and University level teaching it's not much use. But for Public schools, Preschools and many language centre's like ILA it's acceptable.

Did you get approved? Thanks

Not sure! They aren't intended for long term stay so the government would have the right to deny someone who was using them for purposes other than tourism.

Before

@@poe-Thank you 😊

Use passport number

I think the date you'd arrive in Vietnam, not the date you board the flight

Not a good news! Vietnam already have a lot of people with pollution. You see France or Spain how they are affected badly for a big quantity of foreigners.

@@pedrojulio1960 In this case, I can assume you don't know much about Vietnam. especially the traditional culture of young Vietnamese people

@@holdennguyen when people get easy Visa without asking them if they have 1000 USD they will come to your country to look for jobs and then if they don't have the money they will ask for money in the streets. Already in the streets there were foreigners asking for money, and vietnamese give them. Also a Canadian who didn't want to work as a teacher he only wanted to live in the countryside and do gardening he overstayed more than 2 years. Nigerians doing scams and then they say the people are racist against them or Iranians with false documents stealing from a shop. In Japan, black men harassing people in Shinjuku to go to their bars,I don't even drink alcohol and they followed me to go to their bar and they said they had beautiful girl, I don't even like African women. They are never deported from Japan. Japanese people never harassed me.

@@holdennguyen I was even talking to an African man he was worried about his student visa was going to expire, he can't get a job. He is not definitely going back to his country. Now he has the tourists visa.

how did you go resolving this? i am having same issues

If it works the same as the old multiple entry visa, you can stay for more than 30 days on the 90 day multiple entry visa. Although I don't know for sure if it's the same as before.

@@ninja.teacher Thank you, Alex! I will need to check with the Vietnam consulate here in San Francisco then. Will let you know once I hear back from them. Thanks again!

You can be inside Vietnam for a total of 90 days. Therevis no word on extensions.

@@caroledoan6299 Did you hear if there was any limit on the amount of time in VN during each entry? I would've assumed you could stay the full 90 days in a row.

I had same or similar problem. I was able to submit the application but when the page refreshed the photo and passport images did not appear. Then at the bottom of the form there is a field for Confimation Code, but I do not see a way to obtain a confirmation code?? Will this be coming to me via an email in the next few days? This process is a bit confusing. Is there a source to get technical help?

@amityDH @Sbrecker9191 How are your cases doing?

I have also had this problem - do you have an update? thanks for sharing!

No, I don't leave for Vietnam until November so I'm just going to wait a while to try again hoping that they work out the technical bugs.

​@@Sbrecker9191 I left a separate comment describing my case. Hope it will help future applicants.

You do not need to apply for a visa, correct. You need to leave the country after 45 days.

so would it be better to apply for the e-visa before arriving if you plan on staying more than 45 days? or it’s possible to apply from within, within the 45 days?

@@minhvzs Yes, just get the 90 day e-visa if you're planning to do more than 45 days. Otherwise you will have to exit and re-enter the country.

Great, thank you!

The law applies to Vietnam.

I believe people have just been putting their passport number in again here.

Pls did you get your visa approved?

Use new site. Still $25 for single entry

If your country is required to have visa. Some countries do not.

@@ashitdesai5299 pls the evisa website Alex mentioned in this video is the new correct site?

The old website is now the new website for the 90 day Evisa application @@anywherebelleface1934

Need to reduce the dpi of the photo. Too large of a file and it kicks it.

I forgot to include some information on my application and now I cannot make the requested amendment. The captcha function isn't working. Frustrating. They cashed my fee, but still no visa.

Vietnamese overseas just go to the travel agencies and have them do the visa for you, just have to pay $80-100, you get back in 1 week

@@anhbinbaccuc8850 LOL how about no, and just pay the correct fee and stop paying 4 to 5 x the incorrect price under the table, yeah?

Did you do a visa run from vietnam or come in for the first time in a while?

😅😅😅

Always, ALWAYS, get visa FIRST, then buy airline ticket.

the 30-day e-visas did not have photos

You got your visa approved? and did you use the evisa website mentioned on this video by Alex? Thanks

Teaching English. ninjateacher.com

What did you put down as ID card number?

​@@Rpark82I just repeated my passport number, ridiculous to require something that not all countries have.

@lenvan5045 Cheers mate 👍 I'll give it a go

It’s your pps number in Ireland, national security number I think it’s called for other countries

How did you check? The processing status? Mg payment went in, but when I try and check status with link they sent nothing is showing?

Hi, I am told by my friend that you still need to pay an extra US$19 plus a photo when you land Vietnam with your E- Visa, even you have paid the US$25 processing fee. Is it correct please ?

@@keymae6714 no just have your visa printed in color. No extra fees with the e visa your photo was uploaded when you applied for it.

Since 15th August, Vietnam evisa is applicable for every nationalities with option of single or multiple entry and it can last upto 90 days.

Ask the cruise company. You may not beed a visa at all.

You just need single entry.

In Vietnamese version says upload photo in JPEG

Interested in this also. It would be great if you could extend the 45-day visa-free into a 90-day visa towards the end of the 45 days. If not, it may be better to apply for the 90-day visa right from the start.

Also curious about this, but when I researched visa extensions within vietnam they usually extend the same amount you applied for before (so if I had a 90 day visa they would extend to another 90 day, same goes for 30 day) but I could be wrong.

@@lindahan68 Do you have heritage in Vietnam?

Would also like to know this. Currently on a 45 day visa exemption and would rather not have to do a visa run to activate my 90 day visa

Lately the go-to solution for expats in the region has been bouncing briefly to another country and then back into Vietnam on a new e-visa (seems you can get multiple e-visas in a row with no problems-personally I've gotten ~5 of them over the last year, so I'm not constantly there, but on and off). Flights from Vietnam to Thailand and other nearby countries are often just ~$40-70 each. I'd just take a little trip to Bangkok or something.

Hi, what the timeline for visa approval like?

@@anvarkasimov2232 I made the application on 15th during the night, it was taking into account around 11 AM on 15th and I received the visa by email on the 18th around 5 PM.

Is it thru new portal or old one ??

This is great! Same here, I received mine within 3 working days.

​@@anvarkasimov2232please can you apply for me send me your WhatsApp number

how did you go resolving this? i am having same issues

@@MdMahmudHasanshabuz havent resolved it yet , im hoping for some feed back soon.

@@MdMahmudHasanshabuz ok so i saw the "Billing " icon on the bottom. Thats how you pay. And the other icon to click is to see the process progress. Yes before i over looked that. You should see Billing . Try it , have a nice day 🙂👍

Got a code but doesn’t show me anything, and payment was successful

at the top is the SEARCH. Click on it. The trick is to keep it in Vietnamese. Enter your application number(not update code) in the first box. And captcha in 2nd box. click. You will get details in Vietnamese at the bottom. Use translator. You will know your application status.

That works, you are my hero, thanks

​@@ashitdesai5299its showing that "results returned" since last 10 days, but didn't recieve my visa, any way to download it thru new portal ??

Same issue with me, its already 12 days ... Its showing result returned but didn't receive any evisa

Same question for me, how many times can we do this? Could we purchase a 90visa every 90days?

You have no children to travel with you so you have to enter the number zero. The message in Vietnamese means : It has to be a digit number.
