Do Chile passport holders need a visa for Vietnam?

No visa to apply for — Chile passport holders enter Vietnam without one. The Vietnam Pre-Arrival Declaration is a separate step before you fly — Vietnam’s airport immigration offices ask foreign passport holders for one, while the ministry behind the portal has called it voluntary.

Visa-free

Max stay

90 days

  • The official form is free, on the government’s own site.
  • Automation we built fills in your VPAD under your supervision — you review it, change anything, and submit it yourself.
  • A credit is charged only after the official government site confirms it has your submission.
  • Your passport and trip details never leave your device — we have no way to read them; the one exception is the passport photo you choose to scan, which passes through a recognition service once; we keep no copy of it.
