Do Chadian citizens need a visa to enter Vietnam?

Yes, all Chadian citizens are required to obtain a valid visa before entering Vietnam, regardless of the purpose of travel or the intended length of stay. Chad is not among the countries that benefit from Vietnam’s unilateral or bilateral visa exemption policy ^[1] , meaning no automatic entry privilege applies to holders of a Chadian passport. This requirement applies equally to tourism, business, transit with extended stay, and family visits.

Before applying, every Chad citizen should also confirm that their travel document meets Vietnam’s baseline entry requirements:

• The Chadian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended arrival date in Vietnam
• The passport must contain at least 2 blank pages for stamps
• The traveler must hold proof of onward travel or return flight
• Sufficient financial means to support the stay may be requested at the border

Types of Vietnam visa available for Chad passport holders

Chadian nationals currently have access to two main visa pathways recognized by Vietnam’s immigration authority.

The Vietnam e-visa is unquestionably the most practical option for the majority of Chadian travelers today. It is processed entirely online, requires no visit to an embassy, and is accepted at all major international airports and land border gates in Vietnam.

For those requiring a business visa for Vietnam from Chad, the process is more involved and requires coordination with a Vietnamese sponsor company. Our team at Tan Van Lang has managed hundreds of such cases originating from Central Africa, including from N’Djamena, and we guide clients through every step of the sponsorship documentation.

How to apply for a Vietnam e-visa from Chad

The Vietnam e-visa was introduced and progressively expanded by the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security ^[2]. Since August 2023, it has been upgraded to allow a maximum stay of 90 days per entry, making it significantly more attractive for travelers from Africa, including those making the journey from N’Djamena to Vietnam.

Step-by-step process through the official Vietnam e-visa portal

Step 1: Prepare your documents

Before accessing the Vietnam e-visa portal at https://evisa.gov.vn/ or you can use a trusted visa service provider such as Tan Van Lang via https://evisa.vnhub.com/ to handle the submission on your behalf, gather the following:

• A scanned copy of your Chadian passport (bio-data page, clearly legible)
• A recent passport-style portrait photo (white background, no glasses)
• Your intended entry checkpoint in Vietnam
• Confirmed travel dates (entry and exit)
• A valid email address to receive notifications
• A credit or debit card for payment

Step 2: Complete the online application form

Fill in all required fields accurately, including your full name exactly as it appears in your passport, date of birth, passport number, passport expiry date, and nationality.

Selecting the correct entry checkpoint is critical, this is a detail our advisory team has seen cause frequent problems for applicants from Africa who change their flight itinerary after submission.

Step 3: Pay the e-visa fee

The current official fee is USD 25 per application, payable by international credit or debit card ^[3]. This fee is non-refundable even if your application is rejected, so accuracy at submission is essential.

Step 4: Wait for processing and download your e-visa

The standard processing time for a Vietnam e-visa for Chadian citizens is 3 business days, though it can occasionally extend to 5 business days during peak travel periods or national holidays. Once approved, you will receive the e-visa by email. Print it out and carry a physical copy alongside your Chadian passport when traveling to Vietnam.

Critical warning: scam websites targeting African travelers

Our team at Tan Van Lang regularly alerts clients about fraudulent third-party websites that mimic the official Vietnam e-visa portal. These sites charge inflated fees, sometimes USD 80 to USD 150 for a standard e-visa, deliver delayed or incorrect visas, or collect personal data without processing any visa at all.

Always verify you are on the official government portal or working with a registered, reputable service with a verifiable track record. With over 20 years of experience since 2003, Tan Van Lang processes e-visa applications with direct verification against the official system, ensuring your Vietnam visa application from Chad is submitted correctly the first time.

Vietnam visa on arrival for Chadian travelers

Vietnam visa on arrival remains a valid option for Chadian citizens who arrive in Vietnam by air. It is important to understand that “visa on arrival” does not mean you can simply show up at the airport without any prior arrangement. The process requires obtaining a visa approval letter before your departure.

How the visa on arrival process works

Phase 1: Obtain a visa approval letter

A visa approval letter is an official document issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department on behalf of your immigration sponsor or service provider. It authorizes the immigration officer at the arrival airport to stamp a visa into your passport. Without this letter, you cannot use the on-arrival service.

Phase 2: Present documents at the airport arrival hall

Upon landing at one of Vietnam’s major international airports, Chadian travelers must present the following at the visa on arrival desk:

• The original visa approval letter
• Two passport-sized photos (4×6 cm)
• The completed entry/exit form
• Your Chadian passport valid for at least 6 months
• Payment of the stamping fee (USD 25 for single-entry, USD 50 for multiple-entry)

Vietnam visa fees and processing time for Chadian nationals

The table below reflects the standard fees applicable to Vietnam visa for Chadian citizens in 2026.

From our practical experience, we recommend that Chadian travelers apply for the e-visa at least 7–10 days before their intended departure, allowing a buffer for any correction or resubmission if documents are rejected. Rush processing is not guaranteed on the official portal, and last-minute applications frequently cause missed flights.

One cost-related detail many travelers overlook: If you apply through a reputable service provider like Tan Van Lang rather than the official portal directly, there is an additional service fee. However, this fee covers document verification, error-checking, and guaranteed follow-up — services that have prevented significant financial loss for clients whose self-submitted applications contained passport number errors or photo format issues.

Vietnam visa validity and length of stay for Chadian citizens

The Vietnam e-visa grants Chadian passport holders a stay of up to 90 days, applicable for both single-entry and multiple-entry variants. This is a substantial improvement from the previous 30-day limit and makes Vietnam a much more viable destination for extended holidays or business trips originating from N’Djamena or other cities in Chad.

Single-entry vs. multiple-entry: which is right for you?

Given that the fee is identical for both types under the current e-visa scheme, our team consistently advises clients to select multiple-entry unless there is a specific reason to choose single-entry. This provides flexibility in case of itinerary changes, side trips to neighboring countries such as Thailand or Cambodia, and the option to re-enter Vietnam without applying for a new visa.

Temporary residence registration after arrival

This is a procedural detail that many travelers from Africa overlook and that can result in fines or complications at departure. Under Vietnamese law, all foreign nationals staying in Vietnam must register their temporary residence with the local police within 24 hours of arrival.

Hotels, hostels, and registered guesthouses handle this automatically, but travelers staying with private hosts (friends, relatives, or Airbnb-type arrangements) must ensure the host completes the registration at the local ward police station (phường). Failure to comply is a technical violation of Vietnamese immigration regulations.

Can Chadian citizens extend their Vietnam visa after arrival?

Yes, Vietnam visa extension is possible for Chadian nationals who are already in Vietnam on a valid visa and wish to extend their stay. Extensions can be applied for through an authorized immigration service or through the Vietnam Immigration Department in major cities.

The extension must be requested before the current visa expires — attempting to extend after expiry is treated as overstaying and carries fines. Based on case data we have handled from various African nationalities, extensions are generally approved for an additional 30 to 90 days depending on the visa type and the applicant’s travel history in Vietnam.
