How long should I expect to wait for my Vietnam visa approval after applying in Hanoi?

Take trip somewhere,you don't have to stay in hanoi. Plenty of places to explore nearby.

Just be patient there’s nothing you can do.

Sometimes it can even take a month.

Most of time definitely not but it can

It took them a month for me to get back

And others in other places I know who got it back in a few days

⏳ Typical Processing Time

• Standard Processing: Vietnam’s e-visa applications are generally processed within 3 to 5 working days. However, delays can occur due to factors like public holidays, high application volumes, or the need for additional documentation. 

• Current Status: Since you’ve been waiting for 6 days, it’s possible that your application is still within the typical processing window.
