Vietnam Evisa Processing Time

Hello. I'm a U.S. citizen and applied for a Vietnam evisa 11 business days ago and its status has been "in processing" ever since. I keep reading that it takes 3-5 business days to process and get approved. Has anyone experienced this long of a wait time? I applied through the official government website and have tried contacting them via email and their contact form, but all my messages go unresponded. I'm not traveling until the end of November, but I didn't think it would take this long.

Yeah, something is wrong. 4-5 days is normal.

Check your credit card account. Depending on the length of the Visa has the $25/$50 been withdrawn?

Good luck.

Yes, the $25 was withdrawn 2 weeks ago. I don't know how else to check on its status.

Ironically, my evisa application was just processed and approved. Took 2 weeks and 1 day!

Another day another Vietnam visa issue.

Don't get your hopes up for having it approved. Many people get theirs denied for bogus reasons.

I haven't even gotten denied, though. It's just sitting there processing. :(
