Hi everyone!

I’m going to apply ED visa in Ho Chi Minh and I have a question to someone who already did it. When will I get back my passport? On the official website of the embassy they say, that it will take 2 days. But I don’t understand, for example, if I will apply on Monday, my visa will be ready on Wednesday or only on Thursday?

Thank you πŸ™πŸ»

TLDR : Answer Summary
Users report that after applying for an ED visa in Ho Chi Minh City, you can typically expect to receive your passport back the next working day. If you apply in the morning on a Monday, your visa should be ready by the afternoon on Tuesday. However, applications submitted on Fridays or before holidays may be processed the following working day.

turn in your application one day in the morning and pick up your passport the next day in the afternoon.

In January I had the same question because the web site says indeed that it takes two days. I even wrote them an e-mail back then and they replied it was just one day, which proved to be correct. When the reply arrived, though, I had already booked my flight + hotel for an extra day in HCMC, so that was suboptimal, but Saigon was definitely worth staying another day. ;-)

you apply in the morning and pick up your passport on the next working day in the afternoon. As explained on their website: 2. Visa application result will be at the next day afternoon. If applicant submits on Friday or the day before holiday, the visa application result will be on Monday afternoon/afternoon of the day after holiday.
