You applied for a Vietnam e-visa and now you want to know where it stands. The tracking tool lives on the official Vietnam Immigration portal. The steps below mirror the exact flow you will see when you open it, with plain-English notes on each input.
What You Will Need Before You Start
The official form asks for three specific pieces of information. If any are wrong, the search will return no result even if your application exists. Gather these before you click through.
A code emailed to you right after you submitted your e-visa application. It typically begins with a letter followed by digits.
The exact email you entered during the application. A different inbox will not work, even if it is yours.
Formatted as on your passport, matching what you entered on the original form.
How to Check Your Status, Step by Step
- Open the portal in a new tab. Use the button above or navigate directly to evisa.gov.vn. The site is a single-page app; give it a second to finish loading.
- Switch the language to English. The toggle is in the top-right corner. The Vietnamese version works identically, but the labels are easier in English.
- Find the Search section. Look for “Search” or “Check Visa Status” in the main navigation. On the newer portal it is a dedicated page rather than a modal.
- Enter your registration code, email, and date of birth. Type them carefully — the fields are case-sensitive and whitespace-sensitive.
- Complete the CAPTCHA. A short image with distorted characters appears below the fields. Type exactly what you see. If the characters are unreadable, refresh the CAPTCHA and try again.
- Click Search. The result loads on the same page. If the combination is valid, your current status appears within a second or two.
What Each Status Actually Means
The portal returns one of a handful of status labels. The meaning is narrower than the word suggests.
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Submitted | Your application entered the queue. No officer has reviewed it yet. Processing has not started. |
| Processing | An officer is reviewing your file. Most applications move through this state within 2–3 business days. |
| Approved / Granted | Your e-visa is issued. You can download the approval letter directly from the portal and print it for travel. |
| Not Granted / Rejected | Your application was refused. You will not get a refund. You can reapply with corrected details. |
If the Search Returns No Result
A blank result almost always means the combination of code, email, and date of birth does not match what is on file. Before you panic, re-check each field for typos. The registration code is the most common culprit — a letter O mistaken for a zero, a trailing space copied from the email. If everything matches and you still get nothing, wait an hour and try again; the portal occasionally has minute-long sync delays right after a submission.
Common Questions
How long does the Vietnam e-visa usually take?
The advertised window is three business days. Straightforward applications often finish in 24–48 hours. Delays past a week usually mean a secondary check on the passport image or a name-matching issue.
Can I check someone else’s visa status for them?
Yes — as long as you have their registration code, email, and date of birth. Nothing on the portal ties the session to a specific device or account.
What if I lost my registration code?
Search your inbox for the confirmation email sent right after submission. The subject line typically contains “Vietnam Electronic Visa” or “E-visa application”. If you genuinely cannot find it, you will need to reapply, because the portal cannot recover codes without the original email.
Is there an app for checking Vietnam e-visa status?
No. The official portal works on mobile browsers and is the only way to check. Any third-party “status” app is unofficial and should not be trusted with your passport data.
