Planning a trip to Vietnam with an e-visa? Great choice! The Vietnam e-visa makes travel easy and accessible for citizens of over 80 countries. But a single mistake in your application could delay or even derail your plans.
To help you avoid unnecessary stress, here are the most common Vietnam e-visa mistakes—and how to avoid them.
1. Entering Incorrect Passport Information
Your passport details must exactly match the information on your e-visa application. Even a small error in your passport number, name, or expiration date can lead to rejection or denial of entry.
Tips:
-
Double-check spelling, especially if your name includes special characters
-
Make sure your passport has at least 6 months’ validity remaining
-
Upload a clear, non-blurry scan of the information page
2. Choosing the Wrong Entry Point
Your e-visa is only valid at the entry point you selected during the application. If you arrive at a different airport, land border, or seaport—it’s very likely you’ll be denied entry.
Solution:
-
Before applying, decide your exact port of entry
-
Refer to our guide: Top Entry Ports for Vietnam E-Visa Holders
-
If plans change, you must apply for a new e-visa
3. Uploading Poor Quality Photos
One of the top reasons e-visas are delayed or rejected is invalid or unclear photos.
What’s required:
-
A recent passport-style photo (4×6 cm, white background)
-
No sunglasses, no hat
-
A separate scan of your passport info page
Use high resolution, good lighting, and proper cropping.
4. Applying Too Late
E-visa processing takes 3–5 working days, sometimes longer during holidays. Last-minute applications are risky.
Apply at least 7 days in advance. If you’re in a hurry, check out our Urgent E-Visa Service.
5. Ignoring the E-Visa Duration
E-visas are typically valid for 30 or 90 days, depending on your choice. Many travelers mistakenly assume they can extend it easily from within Vietnam.
Currently, e-visa extensions inside Vietnam are not allowed. Plan your stay accordingly.
6. Not Printing Your E-Visa
While Vietnam is going digital, immigration officers still require a physical copy of your approved e-visa at most checkpoints.
Always print:
-
Your e-visa approval letter (PDF)
-
A backup copy for emergencies
You’ll also need it for hotel check-in, domestic flights, and visa checks.
7. Overlooking Email Notifications
Once submitted, your e-visa status is sent via email. If you enter your email address incorrectly, you might miss the approval or important updates.
Tip: Use a frequently checked email and monitor your spam/junk folder.
