University application fee payment schedule for 2026 by province and city

Students in 34 provinces and cities will pay university application fees across six time slots, utilizing channels such as banks and e-wallets.

Following the conclusion of the university application aspiration registration and adjustment period, students are required to submit their fees online through the National Public Service Portal, from 15/7 until 17h on 21/7.

Students should log into the system provided by the Ministry of Education and Training. Within the application aspiration registration section, a "Payment" box will be visible. By clicking this, students can verify the number of aspirations and the total amount due before confirming their payment.

Payment can be made through various channels, including banks such as Vietcombank, Vietinbank, Agribank, BIDV, SHB, VPBank, TPBank, MBBank, HDBank, or e-wallets like VNPT Money, Momo, and Viettel Money. Additionally, other payment intermediaries are available, with all options displayed on screen for students to select.

To prevent system overload, the Ministry has staggered the university application fee payment schedule across 34 provinces and cities:

Application Fee Payment Period	Province/City
From 15/7 to 17h on 16/7	Ha Noi, Cao Bang, Tuyen Quang, Lao Cai, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Son La
