Traveling from the scenic Pyrenees of Andorra to the vibrant landscapes of Vietnam has become significantly more accessible for Indian nationals in 2026. Thanks to the fully digitized Vietnamese immigration system, Indian citizens residing in or visiting Andorra can manage their entire visa process online without needing to travel to a physical embassy in Spain or France.
This guide provides everything an Indian traveler needs to know about the 90-day E-visa, the mandatory 2026 Digital Arrival Card, and urgent processing options.

1. Do Indian Citizens in Andorra Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Indian passport holders, regardless of where they are currently located (including Andorra), are required to obtain a valid visa to enter Vietnam.
In 2026, the Vietnam E-visa is the standard entry permit for Indians. It is valid for up to 90 days and allows for either Single or Multiple entries, making it ideal for tourism, business, or visiting family.
2. Visa Options for 2026
A. The 90-Day E-visa (Recommended)
This is the most convenient option. It is processed 100% online and sent to your email as a PDF. It is accepted at 42 international border gates, including major airports, seaports, and land crossings.
B. Visa on Arrival (VOA)
Mainly reserved for emergency cases or large tour groups with a pre-approved “Visa Approval Letter.” This requires a stamp upon arrival at an international airport in Vietnam.
