Visiting Vietnam: South Korean citizen → Vietnam
✅
Visa-free for a short stay
South Korea passport holders can enter Vietnam visa-free for a limited stay — currently up to 45 days for many exempt countries (shorter for some). For a longer stay or to come and go, apply for the e-Visa.
The bottom line
- Confirm the exact number of visa-free days and the conditions for your passport before you travel.
- Need longer than your visa-free allowance, or multiple entries? Apply for the e-Visa online — up to 90 days, single or multiple entry.
- Visa-free entry is permission to travel, not a guarantee — the border officer decides on arrival.
Where you'll apply
Nothing to apply for in advance if you stay within your visa-free allowance — otherwise the e-Visa is applied for entirely online.
