Complete Guide to Vietnam University Registration Fee Payment 2026

Today, July 15, 2026, the final and critical stage of university registration in Vietnam has begun. According to the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), all candidates who have registered their academic priorities in the comprehensive admission system are required to pay the corresponding fee online. This process, which continues until 17:00 on July 21, is the only way to solidify admission applications for the 2026 academic year [1].

Provincial Scheduling to Prevent System Disruptions To prevent excessive traffic and system downtime, the Vietnam Ministry of Education has divided the payment window based on the candidates' provinces of residence. This strategic approach ensures that more than 870,000 candidates can complete their transactions without technical issues [2].

The schedule is as follows:
* July 15 to 16: Hanoi, Cao Bang, Tuyen Quang, Lao Cai, and Northern mountainous regions.
* July 16 to 17: Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh, and neighboring provinces.
* July 17 to 18: Central provinces including Thanh Hoa and Nghe An.
* July 18 to 19: Da Nang, Gia Lai, and Central Highlands regions.
* July 19 to 20: Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, and Southern regions.
* July 20 to 21: Mekong Delta, Can Tho, and the final deadline for latecomers [1][4].

Step-by-Step Online Payment Process Candidates must carefully follow these steps on the official portal thisinh.thitotnghiepthpt.edu.vn: 1.

Review Priorities: In the "Admission Information Registration" section, review your list of selected majors (which is limited to a maximum of 15 this year) [3]. 3. Confirm Fee: Click the "Payment" button. The fee for each priority in 2026 is set at 20,000 Vietnamese Dong [2]. 4. Select Gateway: Choose from available options including domestic banks, electronic wallets (such as MoMo), or the government service portal. 5. Receive Receipt: After completing the transaction, ensure the status changes to "Successful" and save the digital receipt for future reference [4].

Security Tips and Police Warnings Given the sensitivity of this period, the Hung Yen Provincial Police and other security agencies have warned against cyber scams. Candidates should only act through the official Ministry of Education website and avoid clicking on suspicious links on social media promising "special admission support" [1]. It is also recommended not to postpone payment until the final hours of July 21 to avoid potential errors [5].

In case of any technical issues, candidates can call 18008000 (extension 2) or seek help from information technology officers at their respective schools [4].
