Are you planning an exotic getaway from Martinique to the stunning landscapes of Vietnam? In 2026, the entry process has been modernized to be more efficient. While the Visa on Arrival (VOA) remains an option, the 90-day E-visa is now the primary choice for travelers from the French West Indies.
However, a critical new requirement took effect in April 2026: all travelers must now obtain a Digital Arrival QR Code before landing.

1. Vietnam Visa Options for Martinique Residents in 2026
Since Martinique is an overseas department of France, most residents hold French Passports. In 2026, you have three main paths:
-
Visa Exemption (45 Days): French passport holders can enter Vietnam without a visa for up to 45 days. This is perfect for short vacations.
-
90-Day E-visa (Recommended): If you plan to stay longer or need multiple entries, the E-visa allows for stays of up to 90 days and can be obtained 100% online.
-
Visa on Arrival (VOA): If you are traveling on a non-exempt passport or need an emergency business visa, you can still apply for a Visa Approval Letter to pick up your visa at the airport.
2. NEW FOR 2026: Mandatory Digital Arrival Card
Starting April 15, 2026, a visa alone is not enough. All international travelers entering Vietnam—especially via Tan Son Nhat (SGN) or Noi Bai (HAN) airports—must fulfill this digital requirement:
-
The Rule: You must complete the Digital Arrival Card online within 72 hours before your scheduled arrival.
-
The QR Code: Upon submission, you will receive a mandatory QR Code. You must show this code (on your phone or printed) to the immigration officer.
