Japanese passport holders enter Vietnam visa-free for up to 45 days (single-entry, extended from 15 days in 2023). Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry with two blank pages. A return or onward ticket is required. For stays beyond 45 days, apply for an eVisa at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn costing $25 for a 90-day single-entry stay, processed within 3 business days.
The 45-day visa-free entry is single-entry, meaning if you leave Vietnam (even for a day trip to Cambodia or Laos) and re-enter, you need a new entry. To avoid this, get the eVisa which is also single-entry but allows 90 days. For multiple entries within 90 days, apply for a visa at the Vietnamese Embassy in Tokyo for about JPY 9,000 (single-entry) or JPY 13,500 (multiple-entry). At immigration, you may be asked about your hotel and travel plans.
