1. Visa Options for Argentinians in 2026
Argentinian citizens are required to have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. You have three main paths:
-
Vietnam E-visa (Recommended): Apply 100% online for a stay of up to 90 days (Single or Multiple entries). This is accepted at airports, land borders, and seaports.
-
Visa on Arrival (VOA): You must obtain a “Visa Approval Letter” before flying. This option is only valid for air travel and requires you to pay a stamping fee at the airport.
-
Embassy Visa: You can visit the Vietnam Embassy in Buenos Aires (Calle 11 de Septiembre 1442) for specialized visa types.
2. MANDATORY FOR 2026: Digital Arrival Card (SGN Airport)
As of April 15, 2026, a new mandatory requirement has been implemented for travelers landing at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City:
-
The Rule: All foreign nationals must complete an online declaration at the official portal (
prearrival.immigration.gov.vn) within 72 hours before landing. -
QR Code: After submission, you will receive a QR Code. You must present this code to immigration officers alongside your passport and visa.
-
Pro-Tip: Completing this in advance significantly reduces your waiting time at border control.
