Vietnam’s immigration portal VietnamVisaPro published an updated list of countries eligible for its 90-day multiple-entry e-visa late on 6 March 2026. The Czech Republic remains on the roster, ending speculation that Hanoi might narrow access amid record tourist arrivals.
The notice, timestamped 22:34 local time, is the first comprehensive update since August 2025 and confirms that Czech passport holders can still apply online without visiting an embassy. Processing times average three working days, but mobility specialists report that approvals for Czech applicants are often issued in under 48 hours.
To simplify the paperwork, Czech travellers can outsource the application altogether: VisaHQ’s Czech platform (https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/) walks users through Vietnam’s e-visa form, pre-screens uploads against the new photo and passport-scan rules, and follows up with the authorities—usually shaving a day off the standard turnaround.

For Czech corporates, the confirmation is timely: Vietnam has become a favoured near-shoring destination for electronics and automotive suppliers facing supply-chain risks in China. HR teams can continue rotating engineers into Vietnamese factories on e-visas rather than the more cumbersome business-visa-on-arrival procedure.
Travel managers should note two operational tweaks that take effect on 15 March: applicants must upload a passport photo with a white background and a separate full-page scan showing at least six months’ validity. In addition, travellers entering via Haiphong and Can Tho airports must present QR-code confirmations printed on A4 paper—a requirement not enforced at Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Airlines flying Czech tour groups to Vietnam during the Easter peak welcomed the clarity, saying they can now finalise group bookings without fear of last-minute visa rejections. With Vietnamese authorities targeting 18 million foreign visitors in 2026, Czech tourism boards expect arrivals from Czechia to surpass pre-pandemic highs.
