The Tet 2026 Visa Crisis

A data-driven analysis of the Lunar New Year travel bottleneck and the elite acceleration protocols available to high-net-worth travelers.

1. The Operational Bottleneck

The Vietnam Immigration Department operates on a strict schedule that does not pause for your travel plans. During the Vietnamese Lunar New Year 2026, government offices close completely. This visualization maps the “Red Zone” dates where standard processing halts, creating a backlog that threatens unverified applications.

2. The Performance Gap

Why choose a premium acceleration service? The data reveals a massive disparity between the unpredictable nature of the standard Government Portal and the guaranteed precision of the Rush Vietnam Visa service. While standard applications can languish for days, our expedited channels measure success in hours.
