Are you a citizen of Moldova planning a trip to Vietnam in 2026? Whether you are visiting the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City or the serene landscapes of Ha Long Bay, securing your entry permit is the first step.
While the “Visa on Arrival” (VOA) has been a popular choice for years, the introduction of the 90-day E-visa in 2026 has provided an even more convenient path for Moldovan travelers.

1. Visa Options for Moldovan Citizens in 2026
Moldovan passport holders are required to have a visa to enter Vietnam. You have three primary options:
-
E-visa (Recommended): A 100% online process granting up to 90 days (Single or Multiple entry).
-
Visa on Arrival (VOA): Requires a pre-approved “Approval Letter” and is only applicable for those arriving by air.
-
Embassy Visa: Since there is no Vietnamese Embassy in Moldova, applicants usually apply through the embassy in Bucharest, Romania.
2. How Vietnam Visa on Arrival Works
If you choose the VOA path, follow these steps:
-
Apply Online: Submit your passport details to a licensed agency to receive a Visa Approval Letter.
-
Fly to Vietnam: Present this letter at the “Landing Visa” counter upon arrival at international airports (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, etc.).
-
Get the Stamp: Pay the stamping fee in cash (USD or VND) and receive your visa sticker.
Important Note: VOA is not available at land borders or seaports. For those entry points, you must use an E-visa.
3. The 2026 Digital Arrival Card Requirement
Effective from April 2026, all international arrivals—including those from Moldova—must complete a Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing.
After filling out the online form, you will receive a QR Code. You must present this QR code to immigration officers alongside your visa. Failure to do so may result in delays at the airport.
4. Fees and Processing Times
| Visa Type | Processing Time | Estimated Fee (Gov + Service) |
| Standard E-visa | 3 – 5 Working Days | $25 – $50 USD |
| Urgent E-visa | 1 – 2 Working Days | Contact for Quote |
| Emergency VOA | 4 – 8 Hours | Contact for Quote |
Note: Stamping fees for VOA ($25 for single entry, $50 for multiple) must be paid in cash at the airport.
5. Entry Requirements for Moldovans

-
Your Moldovan passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date.
