Vietnamese passport holders see the most visa-free flexibility within Asia itself, where about three in ten destinations require no visa at all, but that access drops off sharply elsewhere. Europe and Oceania are nearly closed without a visa, and eVisa or visa on arrival programs do most of the work of keeping the Americas and Africa accessible. Vietnam's overall numbers track closely with India and Nigeria, all well behind the Western, Singaporean, and Gulf passports at the top of this comparison.

This page covers requirements for short-stay tourist and visitor travel only. Business trips, work assignments, study programs, and immigration all follow separate application processes with their own documentation, so check with the relevant embassy or consulate before traveling for any of those purposes.

Visa requirement data last verified September 17, 2026. Fee and refusal-rate figures are sourced separately -- see the methodology page for how refusal rates are calculated.
