Applying for a Vietnam e-visa is simple—but small mistakes can delay your trip or even lead to rejection. In this article, we’ll walk you through the top 5 common errors travelers make and how you can avoid them to ensure a smooth visa application.
1. Using a Blurry or Incorrect Passport Photo
The photo you upload must meet international passport standards. A blurry, cropped, or selfie-style photo can lead to rejection.
✅ Tips:
-
Use a white background
-
Face straight, no shadows or filters
-
JPEG format, under 2MB
-
Recent photo (within 6 months)
2. Incorrect Passport Details
One of the most common reasons for rejection is mismatched personal information.
❌ Don’t:
-
Misspell your name
-
Enter wrong passport number
-
Select the wrong nationality
✅ Double-check everything before submitting. The data must exactly match your passport.
3. Wrong Entry/Exit Dates or Ports
Selecting the wrong entry or exit point can prevent you from entering Vietnam.
✅ Always:
-
Confirm your travel itinerary before applying
-
Choose correct port of entry (not all ports accept e-visas)
-
Use entry/exit dates that match your tickets
📝 Tip: Even if you plan to enter a few days after your e-visa’s start date, your visa must still be valid from that day.
4. Uploading the Wrong Passport Page
You need to upload the data page of your passport—not the cover or any blank pages.
✅ Make sure the image is:
-
Clear and in focus
-
Full page visible, no cropping
-
Matches the passport info you filled in
5. Waiting Too Long to Apply
Some travelers wait until the last minute to apply and get stressed or miss their flight.
