Increase in Online Passport Application Fees in Vietnam from January 1, 2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

From January 1, 2026<\/strong>, the fee for online passport applications in Vietnam will officially return to the original rate<\/strong> as stipulated in Circular No. 25\/2021\/TT-BTC<\/strong>, since the current 10% fee reduction policy will expire at the end of 2025<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is important information for all Vietnamese citizens<\/strong> who plan to apply for a new passport or a passport reissuance<\/strong>, so they can avoid additional costs and proactively plan their application timeline.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, HOCHIEUvisa<\/span><\/strong><\/a> provides the latest, most accurate, and comprehensive updates<\/strong>, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Will Online Passport Fees Increase from January 1, 2026?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The fee increase does not<\/strong> result from the introduction of a new fee policy. Instead, it is due to the expiration of the 10% fee reduction policy<\/strong> implemented under:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Circular No. 63\/2023\/TT-BTC<\/strong>, which aimed to encourage online submissions<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The policy reduced fees by 10% compared to Circular No. 25\/2021\/TT-BTC<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 This incentive policy is valid only until December 31, 2025<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, starting January 1, 2026<\/strong>, passport fees will revert to the original rates<\/strong> specified in the initial regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n
