"Is the Vietnam visa open for Bangladeshis?" is one of the most searched travel questions in Dhaka right now. The short answer is yes: the Vietnam e-visa for Bangladeshi passport holders is applied for online, needs no embassy visit and no agent, and costs less than a dinner for two in Gulshan. What trips people up is not the rule but the details: fake look-alike websites, a photo that gets rejected, or a hotel booking that does not match the form.
Yes. Vietnam's official e-visa portal evisa.gov.vn accepts applications from all foreign nationals, including Bangladeshis. The e-visa is valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry. The government fee is US$25 single entry or US$50 multiple entry, paid online and not refunded if refused (read 14 Oct 2026).
Can Bangladeshis get a Vietnam e-visa in 2027?
Yes. Vietnam's Immigration Department issues the e-visa to any foreigner who is outside Vietnam, holds a valid passport and is not barred from entry under Vietnamese law. Bangladesh is not excluded. The official portal moved to two government domains in November 2024 — evisa.gov.vn and thithucdientu.gov.vn — and only these two are official. Dozens of private sites copy the look of the portal and charge US$60–150 for the same visa; the government fee itself is fixed.
| Item | Official rule |
|---|---|
| Who can apply | All foreign nationals outside Vietnam |
| Validity | Up to 90 days |
| Entries | Single or multiple |
| Fee | US$25 single · US$50 multiple (up to 90 days) |
| Refund if refused | No |
| Where | evisa.gov.vn or thithucdientu.gov.vn |
Processing usually takes about three to five working days (reported by travel sites), longer around Tet (late January or February). Apply at least two weeks before your flight so you have time to correct a rejected photo.
What documents do you need for the Vietnam e-visa?
The form itself is simple, but every field must match your passport exactly. You will upload two files and type the rest.
- Passport bio page scan: clear, full page, including the machine-readable lines at the bottom. The passport should be valid well beyond your stay; six months is the safe rule airlines use (reported by travel sites).
- Portrait photo: recent, white background, face straight, no glasses. Most rejections are photo problems.
- Trip details: intended entry date, entry and exit port (e.g. Noi Bai Hanoi, Tan Son Nhat Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang), and the address of your first hotel.
- Payment card: an international Visa or Mastercard enabled for online payments. Many Bangladeshi dual-currency cards work once online use is switched on.
Unlike Schengen or UK visas, the e-visa form does not ask for a bank statement. Airline staff at Dhaka and immigration in Vietnam may still ask for a return ticket and hotel booking, so carry printouts.

How much does a Vietnam trip cost from Dhaka in Taka?
Direct answer: a careful 6-day Hanoi–Ha Long trip costs roughly Tk 75,000–1,30,000 per person, including flights. Vietnam is cheap on the ground; the flight is the main cost because most routes from Dhaka connect through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore (reported by travel sites).
| Item | Tk (rough) |
|---|---|
| Return flight Dhaka–Hanoi/HCMC (1 stop) | 45,000–80,000 |
| E-visa (single entry) | ≈3,100 |
| Hotel, 5 nights (budget) | 9,000–20,000 |
| Food, 6 days | 6,000–11,000 |
| Ha Long Bay day/overnight cruise | 5,000–14,000 |
| Local transport, SIM, entry fees | 4,000–8,000 |
| Total | ≈ 72,000–1,36,000 |
Rough estimates only, per person, prepared October 2026 at about Tk 122 per US$. Fares change with season; these are not quotes.
What should be in your bag before you fly?
- Passport with plenty of validity and blank pages
- Printed e-visa approval (two copies)
- Return or onward flight ticket
- Hotel booking for at least the first nights
- Endorsed US dollars and an international card
- Travel insurance (strongly recommended)
- Phone with offline maps and your hotel address in Vietnamese
Where should you go on a first Vietnam trip?
Pick one region rather than trying to cover the whole country. Vietnam is long — Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City is about two hours by air.
- North (Hanoi + Ha Long Bay): Old Quarter street food, Hoan Kiem Lake and the limestone bay. Best October–April.
- Centre (Da Nang + Hoi An): beaches, the lantern-lit old town of Hoi An, the Marble Mountains. Best February–August.
- South (Ho Chi Minh City + Mekong Delta): markets, war history museums and floating markets. Warm all year, wettest May–October.
- Halal food: available in Hanoi's Old Quarter and around HCMC's District 1, where Indian and Malaysian restaurants cluster (reported by travel sites).
Sample 6 days in the north: Day 1 arrive Hanoi; Day 2 Old Quarter and Temple of Literature; Day 3–4 Ha Long overnight cruise; Day 5 Ninh Binh day trip; Day 6 fly home.
- Apply only on official portals or through officially listed agents. Every visa page linked in this guide is a government or embassy page. If a site charges far above the official fee, close it.
- Keep names identical everywhere. Passport, visa form, air ticket and hotel booking must carry the same spelling, including middle names. A one-letter difference can stop you at check-in.
- Buy travel insurance. A medical emergency abroad can cost more than the whole trip. Several Bangladeshi insurers sell short-trip policies for a few thousand Taka.
- Save copies offline. Keep photos of your passport, visa, tickets and bookings on your phone and in email, plus one printed set separate from the originals.
- Return on time. A clean entry and exit record is the most valuable thing you bring home. It is what UK, Schengen, Japanese and other officers look at when you apply next time.
How should you carry money from Bangladesh?
Short answer: endorse your dollars on your passport before you fly, carry a mix of clean US$ notes and an international card, and change only what you need.
- Dollar endorsement: buy foreign currency from a bank or licensed money changer and have it endorsed against your passport under your annual travel quota, which Bangladesh Bank sets. Keep the encashment certificate with your passport.
- International card: a dual-currency debit or credit card from a Bangladeshi bank is the safest way to pay hotels and withdraw Vietnamese dong. Ask your bank to enable it for international use and note its per-transaction and daily limits.
- Clean notes: new, untorn US$ notes (series 2013 or later where possible) get the best rate and are accepted everywhere; old or marked notes are often refused.
- Exchange smartly: change a small amount at the airport for transport, then use city money changers or ATMs. Avoid changing Taka abroad — it is rarely accepted outside Bangladesh.
- Keep records: card slips and the endorsement receipt make your travel history clean when you later apply for UK, Schengen or study visas.
Why get one-to-one help instead of doing it yourself?
Because one person who knows the rules checks your whole plan before you pay for anything. Most trips that go wrong do so for small reasons: a passport that expires too soon, a booking that does not match the visa form, a fee paid on an unofficial site, or a return date that clashes with an exam or job. Doing it alone is possible — the official links on this page are all you need — but a second pair of experienced eyes makes the process clearer, quicker and far less likely to go wrong.
