Before anything else

You might not
need a visa

Plenty of travellers worry about a visa they don't even need. If you hold a British, German, French, Italian or Spanish passport, or most other Western European ones, you walk in visa-free for up to 45 days. Japan and South Korea get the same. So the first thing we do is look at your passport and your dates, and tell you honestly.

If you do need one, it's usually the e-visa: apply online, wait a few working days, receive a PDF. It isn't hard. But it asks for exact spellings, a particular photo size and a first-night address, and one wrong letter can cost you the fee. If you'd rather not risk it, hand it to us.

Prefer to do it yourself? Fair enough. The official site is evisa.gov.vn and our e-visa guide shows every step.

Airport fast track

Skip the queue
at the airport

Someone meets you at the gate and walks you through immigration, so your first hour in Vietnam starts smoothly. Pick a plan, then use the calculator at the top of the page to see your total for the number of travellers. Fast track runs at Hanoi (Noi Bai) and Saigon (Tan Son Nhat).

Plan 01

Standard Arrival

Hanoi $15 · Saigon $29

A smoother arrival with someone who knows the airport.

  • ✓ A warm welcome with a name board at the arrival gate
  • ✓ An escort through the shortest immigration line
Plan 02 · Fast track + car

Standard Arrival + Standard Transfer

From $47 · car included

The queue sorted, and a car waiting to take you to your hotel.

  • ✓ Everything in Standard Arrival
  • ✓ A private car to your hotel, included in the price
  • ✓ Outside arrivals, our guide holds a board with your name and "Vietnam Pickleball Travel". Check your name, follow them: they call your driver and walk you to the car
Plan 03 · Fast track + car

VIP Arrival + VIP Transfer

From $77 · car included

Priority all the way, from the aircraft door to your hotel.

  • ✓ A name board at the arrival gate
  • ✓ Escort through the VIP immigration lane
  • ✓ On-the-spot help with visa on arrival, if you need it
  • ✓ A private car to your hotel, included in the price
  • ✓ Outside arrivals, our guide holds a board with your name and "Vietnam Pickleball Travel", calls your driver and walks you to the car

Only need a ride from the airport, without fast track? Book our airport pickup instead: a fixed price from $35 per car, your name on a sign, and you pay your driver in cash. Fast track needs your visa to be approved first, so we order it that way.

How it works

From your passport
to your PDF

01

You tell us

Fill in the short form below: your nationality, when you land, where, and how many of you. It opens WhatsApp or email with the message written. We reply within a few hours. We're on GMT+7.

02

We check and quote

We tell you if you need a visa, which one, and the total in writing. Nothing is submitted until you say yes.

03

You send the photos

A portrait photo and a photo of your passport page, sent on WhatsApp or email. We also ask for your name exactly as printed, your first hotel and the purpose of your trip.

04

We apply, you receive

We submit, follow the application and send you the e-visa PDF the moment it's issued. Print a copy, keep one on your phone and go and play.

Have these ready

What we ask for

It takes about five minutes if you have it all to hand.

Photos

Two photos

A clear portrait on a plain background, face straight to the camera, and a sharp photo of your passport's photo page. A phone picture is fine if every corner and line is readable.

Details

Exactly as printed

Surname and given names in the same order as your passport, your email, and a WhatsApp number so we can reach you fast if immigration has a question.

Trip

Where and when

Your arrival date, the airport you land at, the address of your first hotel and the reason for your trip. Also tell us if you have ever had a visa problem in Vietnam before. It matters, and it stays between us.

Add to your visa

Sort the whole
arrival in one go

Tick any of these on the form and we add them to the same booking. Same WhatsApp thread, same person, nothing to chase.

Now the fun part

Visa sorted?
Pick your trip

Every trip is private: solo, a couple or a small group, on the dates you choose. Prices are per person, twin share, land only. Each one is a sample itinerary, tailored to you.

Visa help can be added to any trip, and we'll check your visa dates against your itinerary. Want something different? Ask for a tailor-made trip, or bring your club: club trips.

Why use us

Honest first.
Helpful second.

We're a pickleball travel company, not a visa factory. We only do this so your trip starts without a hitch.

We say when you don't need us

If you can enter visa-free, or you'd be fine applying on the official site yourself, we tell you.

Total agreed first

One all-in price, told to you in writing before we submit anything.

A person, not a form

A real human on WhatsApp answers when something looks off, and tells you what happens next.

Checked against your trip

We know your arrival airport, your tour dates and your flights, so the visa fits the whole journey.

you're from

Estimated total

Visa and fast track only. Pickup, eSIM and tours are quoted separately. We confirm the final total in writing before we submit anything.

Add-ons (optional)

Questions

Before you apply

Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

It depends on your passport. Citizens of the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and many other European countries, plus Japan and South Korea, can enter visa-free for up to 45 days. Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and the Irish need an e-visa. Tell us your passport and travel dates and we'll tell you straight whether you need one. If you don't, we'll say so and you pay us nothing.

How much does a Vietnam e-visa cost?

Our prices are per person and include the Vietnamese government fee. A single-entry e-visa is $48 for 7 to 10 working days, $61 for 3 working days and $69 for 2 working days. Multiple entry is $73, $86 (30-day) or $89 (90-day), and $95. Need it faster than that? Emergency processing takes 1 working day, 4 hours, 2 hours or 1 hour: message us or fill in the form for a quote. We confirm the total in writing before we submit anything. If you apply yourself on evisa.gov.vn the government fee alone is US$25 single or US$50 multiple, and it is not refunded if an application is refused.

Do you offer visa on arrival (VOA)?

Yes. We apply for the approval letter online, you receive it by email, and you collect the visa at the airport. Visa on arrival from us is $55 (single entry) or $80 (multiple entry) for 4 working days, $61 or $86 for 3 working days, and $69 or $95 for 2 working days. It only works at Vietnam's international airports, so it's not for land or sea arrivals. If you can, the e-visa is simpler.

Can I just apply myself?

Yes, and plenty of people do. The official site is evisa.gov.vn and our e-visa guide walks you through it. Use us if you'd rather hand it over: you send your photos once, we fill in the form, check every field against your passport and keep an eye on the application until your PDF arrives.

How long does it take?

You choose. Standard is 7 to 10 working days, then 3 working days or 2 working days at a higher price. For anything faster, use our emergency service (1 working day, 4 hours, 2 hours or 1 hour): message us on WhatsApp or fill in the form and we reply with a quote. Processing can slow down around Tet and public holidays, so please ask us at least two weeks before you fly if you can.

What do you need from me?

A clear portrait photo, a photo of your passport photo page, your name exactly as printed in your passport, your email, your arrival date and the airport you land at, and the address of your first hotel. Please don't type passport numbers into the web form: we ask for the photos on WhatsApp or email once we've talked.

What if my e-visa is refused?

It's rare when every field matches your passport, which is why we check each one. If the immigration office refuses an application, we tell you why and what your options are. The government fee is not refunded, and we'll be upfront about this before you commit.

What do I do when the e-visa arrives?

Print it and keep one copy in your hand luggage, and keep the PDF on your phone as a backup. Check that your name, passport number and dates are right the moment it lands, because a typo is far easier to fix at home than at the airport desk. Flying into Saigon? Fill in the free Digital Arrival Card too, covered in the e-visa guide.

Can you also book the airport pickup and fast track?

Yes. Tick them on the form. Airport pickup starts from $35 per car, and fast track starts from $15 per person in Hanoi ($29 in Saigon). If you only need a ride, our airport pickup is a separate booking. We can add a Landing Kit with an eSIM ($55), a First Evening walk ($95 per person) and a morning game with locals (from $45 per person). Your e-visa has to be approved first, so we order it that way.

Can you plan the whole trip, not just the visa?

That's what we do. Our private pickleball tours start from $999 and every one is planned around your dates, with the airport pickup and visa help available on top. See the tours or ask for a tailor-made trip.

Visa sorted. Now the fun part.

Once your entry is in order, the rest is courts, coffee and good food. Have a look at our private tours, or tell us what you have in mind.
