Current Travel Situation
Bahamas to Vietnam: What You Need to Know
Vietnam offers an accessible eVisa for Bahamian passport holders, costing USD 25 and allowing stays of up to 90 days. The application is entirely online through Vietnam's official immigration portal and does not require a consulate visit. The eVisa is valid for multiple entries and can be used at designated international airports, seaports, and land borders.
Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia's top destinations, with the historic streets of Hanoi, the lantern-lit old town of Hoi An, the limestone formations of Ha Long Bay, and the beaches of Da Nang and Phu Quoc drawing visitors from around the world.
The eVisa replaced the previous visa-on-arrival letter system and is now the standard entry method for most foreign visitors, including Bahamians.
Practical Tips
Apply for the eVisa at least a week before travel to allow for any processing delays, though most applications are approved within 3 days. Vietnam's geography runs north to south; budget airlines (VietJet, Bamboo Airways) connect cities quickly and affordably. Ha Long Bay cruises range from budget to luxury, book in advance for the best options.
