Tourism between India and Vietnam is experiencing historic growth, propelled by direct non-stop flights connecting New Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Ahmedabad (AMD), and Kochi (COK) to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang via Vietjet, Vietnam Airlines, and IndiGo. As Indian travelers flock to Vietnam for destination weddings, luxury beach holidays, and culinary explorations, holding a valid electronic visa (eVisa) is mandatory. Here is the comprehensive 2026 roadmap for Indian passport holders.

Independent assistance. Not a government agency. Final decisions, processing times, and official fees are determined by competent government authorities.
