If you are a Taiwan passport holder currently in Germany—whether for studies, work, or long-term residence—and plan to travel to Vietnam for tourism or business, this guide provides the most comprehensive visa application information.
As of 2026, Vietnam has not yet implemented a visa-free policy for Taiwan passport holders. Whether for sightseeing, independent travel, or business trips, a valid visa must be obtained in advance. The good news is that under the 2026 updated policy, Taiwan passports are fully eligible for the E-visa, with validity extended up to 90 days and options for single or multiple entries.
This guide details all methods for applying for a Vietnam visa from Germany, including fee comparison tables, urgent processing, VIP Fast Track, and FAQs to help you find the most suitable option.
The E-visa is currently the most convenient and popular choice. Under the 2026 policy, Taiwan passports are fully eligible. Once approved, simply print the PDF and carry it with you to use the “E-visa Dedicated Lane” at Vietnam airports.
