The Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam has announced the schedule for submitting university admission fees for the 2026 academic year. Students from 34 provinces and cities will have to pay their fees during six specific timeframes, utilizing various payment methods including banks and e-wallets.

After the registration and adjustment period, which lasts from July 15 to 5 PM on July 21, students must make their payments online through the National Public Service Portal. They will log into the Ministry's system, where they can find a payment section in their registration information. Here, students can verify the number of applications and the total fee before confirming the payment.

The payment can be made through several banks such as Vietcombank, Vietinbank, Agribank, BIDV, SHB, VPBank, TPBank, MBBank, HDBank, as well as through e-wallets like VNPT Money, Momo, and Viettel Money, among other intermediary payment channels. All options will be displayed for students to choose from.

To prevent overload, the Ministry has divided the payment schedule by province and city as follows:

• From July 15 to 5 PM on July 16: Hanoi, Cao Bang, Tuyen Quang, Lao Cai, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Son La
• From July 16 to 5 PM on July 17: Thai Nguyen, Lang Son, Quang Ninh, Phu Tho, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong
