Use the government route and fee only. Avoid lookalike agent sites that add markups or mimic official portals.

Why this verdict

Vietnamese citizens need a visa in advance to visit Japan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs keeps a country-specific short-stay visa procedure page for Viet Nam rather than listing Viet Nam among the broad self-serve eVISA residence jurisdictions.
