Stuck at the Gate? Can I Get a Visa to Vietnam on Tet Holiday 2026?

It is the ultimate nightmare scenario. Your bags are packed, the family is excited, and you are ready to experience the magic of Happy Tet. But then—realization hits. Your e-visa hasn’t arrived. It is stuck in “Processing” status, or perhaps in the rush of planning, you forgot to apply entirely.

You check the calendar: it is Tet Holiday 2026 (February 14 – February 22). Every official website says the same thing: “Government offices are closed. Please wait until the holiday ends.” But your flight is tomorrow. Your hotel is non-refundable. You feel the crushing weight of a ruined vacation.

“When one door closes, another one opens.” You have just found the only open door in Vietnam. While the rest of the world sees a “Closed” sign, we provide a dedicated lifeline to get your Vietnam visa on Tet Holiday before your plane leaves the tarmac.

How We Open Doors When the Government is “Closed”

How is it possible to provide an emergency Vietnam visa on Tet Holiday while the Immigration Department is celebrating the Vietnamese Lunar New Year?

The government portal is an automated machine handling millions of applications. When the holiday begins, the “pause” button is hit on standard processing. We are different. Since 2007, we have operated as a high-level private agency with established priority channels that remain active 365 days a year.

We do not wait for the automated system to resume. We utilize our local presence and direct “insider” protocols to ensure your specific application is pulled from the queue and approved manually by on-duty officers. While others are left waiting, you are fast-tracked.

Why You Can’t Afford to “Do It Yourself” During Tet

During the Vietnamese Tet Holiday, the margin for error is zero.

• The “Pending” Trap: If your visa is already stuck, the government portal will not respond to your inquiries until late February. We can rescue your Vietnam visa on Tet Holiday by initiating a fresh, high-priority override application.
• The Typo Disaster: A single incorrect digit in your passport number will result in you being denied boarding. We provide a rigorous double-verification review on every application to ensure it is 100% “flight-ready.”
• Zero Bureaucracy: You should not be fighting with a website during your vacation. We handle the stress; you handle the packing.

3 Expert Tips for a Fast Tet Visa

• Check the “E”: If your passport number starts with “E” (Chinese E-Passport), you must follow the special instructions below regarding loose-leaf visas.
• Don’t “Wait and See”: If your visa has not arrived 24 hours before your flight, it is not coming through the standard portal. The government system does not “catch up” during the holiday.
• Print Two Copies: Digital is convenient, but physical print-outs are often required by airlines during the high-traffic Tet travel season.

⚠️ Special Note: Chinese E-Passport Holders

For passports starting with the letter ‘E’:

• Vietnam issues a loose-leaf visa for these passports.
• Upon arrival, you must proceed to the “Visa on Arrival” counter before reaching Passport Control.
• Present your e-visa and a portrait photo to receive your entry paper. There is no additional government fee for this exchange.

FAQs for Tet Holiday 2026

1. Is it legal to get a visa when the government is on holiday?

Absolutely. We work with designated holiday-duty officers stationed specifically to handle emergency and priority entries that the automated public system cannot process.

2. I already applied on the official site and it is “In Processing.” Can you help?

Yes. Since the portal is not monitored during Tet, your current application is “frozen.” We will submit a New Emergency Visa through our priority channel to secure your approval today.

3. What if my flight is on a Sunday during Tet?

We work through the entire holiday, including Saturdays and Sundays. If you order before our 14:30 cutoff, you will have your visa for your Sunday flight.

4. Can I get an emergency visa for a business trip?

Yes, we process both Tourist and Business e-visas with the same “rush” speed during the holiday period.

5. How do I know the visa is authentic?

Your e-visa will contain a unique QR code and registration code. You can verify it at any official entry point. We maintain a 100% success rate with airline check-ins.

Still Unsure? Every Minute Counts.

The longer you wait, the closer you get to the daily 14:30 cutoff. Do not risk missing the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. Contact us now for an immediate response.
