24/7 boarding letter for travellers stuck at check-in
If the airline will not check you in because your e-Visa is not ready, a boarding letter tells the airline that your Vietnam visa is being processed, so you can board. It does not replace the visa: you still need your e-Visa or approval letter when you arrive in Vietnam.
Available 24/7. Send your passport, photo and flight details on WhatsApp and the team will confirm timing and price straight away.

Emergency Vietnam visa questions
Can I fly to Vietnam without a visa and get one on arrival?
Usually not. Airlines check that you have an approved e-Visa or a visa-on-arrival approval letter before they let you board, unless your nationality is visa-exempt.
Can I get a Vietnam visa on the weekend?
Yes. The weekend emergency service delivers on Saturday and Sunday by 18:00 Vietnam time (GMT+7).
I'm already at the airport. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Message on WhatsApp straight away with your passport and photo. On working days the emergency service can deliver within 60 minutes.
Is an emergency Vietnam e-Visa different from a normal one?
No. It is the same official 90-day e-Visa issued by Vietnam Immigration — only the processing is faster.
How much does an emergency Vietnam visa cost?
US$224 per person for the 60-minute emergency service or the weekend and holiday service, and US$104 for the 4-hour service. Prices include the government fee.
What time do I need to apply for a same-day Vietnam visa?
On working days, apply before about 13:00 Vietnam time (GMT+7) for the 4-hour service and before about 17:00 for the 60-minute emergency service. Later than that, use the weekend and holiday service or the next working day.
My e-Visa is still processing. Should I apply again?
No. A second application can delay the first. Send your application code on WhatsApp and the team can expedite the pending application.
What is a boarding letter?
A document for the airline confirming that your Vietnam visa is being processed, so you can check in. It is available 24/7 and does not replace the visa itself.
Can I get an emergency visa on a public holiday?
Yes. The weekend and holiday emergency service issues results at 18:00 Vietnam time each day. Around Tết, message the team first to confirm the schedule.
Can every nationality get the 60-minute visa?
No. Some passports go through extra checks, and some use the visa-on-arrival approval letter instead of the e-Visa. Check your nationality before you book a flight.
How will I receive my emergency e-Visa?
As a PDF by email or WhatsApp. Show it on your phone at check-in and keep a printed copy for immigration.
What happens if my urgent visa is late?
You get a full refund if an urgent visa arrives more than 24 hours after its guaranteed delivery time.
I entered the wrong dates. Can I fix my e-Visa?
No. An issued e-Visa can’t be edited, so you need a new application with the correct dates. If you fly soon, choose an urgent speed. How to fix a mistake →
My application was sent back asking for more information. What should I do?
Reply as soon as you can, usually with a clearer photo or a full address in Vietnam: processing stops until you answer. If your flight is close, send us your application code on WhatsApp.
My e-Visa isn’t approved yet and I fly at the weekend. What are my options?
Ask us to expedite the pending application, or apply with the weekend and holiday emergency service, which issues results at 18:00 on Saturday and Sunday. If you’re already at check-in, ask for a boarding letter.
My passport expires soon after my trip. Can I still get an e-Visa?
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date. If it isn’t, renew it first, because the e-Visa is linked to the passport number.
