Everything you need to know, in one place. Last updated 23 July 2026. Plans are still coming together, so this page will be updated as things firm up. Ask anything in the group.

🚨 Start here

If you read nothing else, do these four things:

  1. Apply for your Vietnam visa at evisa.gov.vn. Do this first. It usually takes 5 to 7 days, sometimes quicker. EU passport holders, see the visa section below, the rules are different for you.
  2. Book a hotel in Da Nang. Refundable is totally fine for now.
  3. Come whenever works for you, but ideally be in Da Nang by 1 August.
  4. We'll be in Da Nang for the whole month of August and will keep this page updated.

What's happening?

The original two-week Da Nang to Hoi An pop-up has grown into a month-long gathering in Da Nang, a great chance for the community to spend August together in one place.

Da Nang is one of Asia's most loved digital nomad bases. It's a beach city with fast wifi, a huge cafe and coworking scene, cheap great food, and an established international community. A genuinely easy, fun place to live and work for a month.

A few details are still coming together, and we'll keep sharing updates here as things lock in.

🛂 Visas

Start with the official government eVisa site: evisa.gov.vn

This is the route everyone should use first. The application takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and processing generally takes 5 to 7 days (sometimes quicker, occasionally a little longer), so apply as early as you can.

Both 90-day multi-entry and single-entry are available. Multi-entry gives you the most flexibility if you're unsure how long you'll stay.

Travelling on an EU passport?

You don't need a visa if you're staying under 45 days. You do still need to complete the pre-arrival form: prearrival.immigration.gov.vn

Need it sooner?

If you're planning to come earlier and don't want to wait for standard processing, Debby has a contact who can help speed things up. Just DM Debby.

⚠️ Important

Make sure your visa or pre-arrival paperwork is sorted before you fly. Airlines will refuse to board you without it.
