@Pawan Paul lakra, Normally, it takes 3 working days (after payment is made) for the e-visa to be issued. However, many of our customers reported that they received their visas in just 1 working day. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hopefully you will receive it on Monday.
Please help. We are leaving for Vietnam tomorrow morning from Singapore (on New Zealand passports) and our visa is still 'in processing.' I have emailed twice now without response. Do we need to expedite this? Will the visa be processed overnight or is it only in hours? Thanks!!!!
@NATALIE BELL, The e-visa process usually takes about 3 working days. Therefore, we advise that you wait until the end of today to see if you receive it in time for your morning flight tomorrow.
