Vietnam Visa for New Zealand Citizens 2026: Official Requirements & Fees

Are you a New Zealand passport holder planning a trip to Vietnam in 2026? The short answer is: Yes, a valid visa is mandatory for entry. While navigating immigration policies can feel overwhelming, obtaining your Vietnam entry clearance from New Zealand is now fully digital. Whether you need a standard 90-day multiple-entry tourist eVisa or require expert consular assistance for a rush business trip, our trusted platform ensures your application is strictly compliant with the Vietnam Immigration Department, guaranteeing a hassle-free arrival.

Do New Zealand Passport Holders Need a Visa to Enter Vietnam?

Yes. Unlike some nationalities that enjoy visa exemptions, all citizens of New Zealand must possess a valid visa before boarding a flight to Vietnam.

Currently, the Vietnam Electronic Visa (eVisa) is the most legitimate, cost-effective, and popular method for Kiwis. As of the latest immigration updates, the eVisa allows New Zealanders to stay in Vietnam for up to 90 days, with options for both single and multiple entries.

(Note: The traditional Visa on Arrival (VOA) is now heavily restricted and mainly reserved for specific diplomatic or pre-approved tour agency groups. We strongly advise applying for an eVisa prior to your departure).

Vietnam eVisa Requirements for New Zealand Citizens

To ensure a 100% approval rate from the Vietnam Immigration Department, applicants from New Zealand must prepare the following required documents before starting the online process:

• A Valid New Zealand Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of arrival in Vietnam, with at least two blank pages for entry/exit stamps.

• A Passport-Sized Photo: A recent digital portrait photo (taken within the last 6 months, looking straight ahead, no glasses, clear background).

• Passport Data Page Scan: A clear, uncropped digital scan or photo of your passport’s biometric data page.

• Travel Details: Intended dates of entry and exit, and the specific port of entry (e.g., Noi Bai Airport, Tan Son Nhat Airport).

• Payment Method: A valid Credit/Debit card to pay the processing fees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I extend my 90-day eVisa while in Vietnam?

Currently, the Vietnam eVisa cannot be extended from within the country. If you wish to stay longer, you must do a “visa run” (leave Vietnam to a neighboring country and re-enter with a new eVisa).

Do I need a separate visa for Phu Quoc Island?

If you are flying directly to Phu Quoc Island (without transiting through domestic terminals in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi) and staying for less than 30 days, you are eligible for the Phu Quoc visa exemption. However, if you plan to visit other parts of Vietnam afterward, you must apply for a standard eVisa.

What happens if I make a typo on my eVisa application?

Any mismatch between your eVisa and your passport (even a single letter or date) will result in denied entry at the airport. Our service includes a manual verification step where our experts double-check your documents to eliminate these fatal errors before submission.
