At vietnamembassy-japan.org, we believe in absolute financial transparency. The total cost of obtaining a valid Vietnam visa consists of two distinct components: the Mandatory Government Fee (paid to the immigration authorities) and the Professional Facilitation & Audit Fee (paid for our expert data verification and risk management services).
Understanding this structure helps you avoid scams and protects you from the financial loss of having a self-submitted application rejected due to technical errors.
1. 2026 Standard E-Visa Fee Structure
Below is the standard fee schedule for Electronic Visas (E-visa) for international travelers departing from Japan:
| Visa Category | Validity | Government Fee | Audit & Facilitation Fee |
| Single Entry | Up to 90 Days | Fixed (Non-refundable) | Based on Service Tier |
| Multiple Entry | Up to 90 Days | Fixed (Non-refundable) | Based on Service Tier |
Note: Government fees are non-refundable once the application has been submitted to the immigration system, regardless of the outcome.
2. Why Choose a Professional Audit Service?
While travelers can attempt to submit applications themselves, minor errors often lead to much higher costs at the airport. Our service fee includes:
-
Data Accuracy Guarantee: We take 100% responsibility for the accuracy of your Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ). If an error occurs, we rectify it at no additional cost.
-
Biometric Optimization: Your fee covers the professional formatting of your portrait photo to meet 2026 AI recognition standards, preventing “Pending” delays.
-
24/7 Boarding Protection: Our clients receive priority access to our crisis management team if issues arise at the check-in counters of JAL, ANA, Vietjet, or other carriers.
3. Emergency Service Surcharges
For urgent cases requiring a visa on the same day or immediate rescue at international airports (Narita, Haneda, Kansai, or Taoyuan), the following tiers apply:
-
Urgent Tier (1-2 Business Days): For travelers departing within the week.
-
Super Urgent (4-8 Hours): Priority processing within the same business day.
-
Airport Rescue (30-60 Minutes): Immediate technical intervention with immigration servers to issue a clearance code for travelers facing boarding denial.
For real-time quotes on emergency services, please contact our 24/7 hotline or reach out via LINE/WhatsApp.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the service fee include VIP Fast-track at the airport?
-
A: No. The fees listed above are for visa processing only. VIP Fast-track (being met at the aircraft gate) is a separate add-on service that can be requested during your application.
Q: If my visa is rejected, do I get a refund?
-
A: Government fees are non-refundable per official regulations. However, if you use our professional audit service, our service fee may be credited or applied to a re-application depending on the technical nature of the issue.
4. Secure Payment Methods
We support a wide range of secure payment options popular in Japan and Taiwan to ensure a convenient transaction:
-
Local Bank Transfer in Japan (Furikome).
-
International Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex).
