What does a Vietnam e-visa look like?

The Vietnam e-visa is an electronic PDF document linked to your passport number. It includes your personal information, passport number, visa type, duration of stay and validity period.

Here is a sample of the Vietnam e-visa:

I have no surname on my passport. Can I still apply for a Vietnam visa?

No, providing a surname is mandatory when applying for a Vietnam e-visa on the official e-visa website. In such a case, you will need to apply directly at the embassy.

Alternatively, you can also apply with SwiftVisa, where we provide a pre-approval letter that you can use to board your flight to Vietnam. Upon reaching, you will need to present this letter at the immigration checkpoint to receive your Vietnam visa on arrival.

Is there an express service for obtaining a Vietnam visa?

Yes, if you apply through SwiftVisa, you can get the Vietnam Pre-Approval Letter within 2 days! However, if you apply through the government website, there is no express visa service.

Note: The Vietnam Pre-Approval Letter is an official document issued by the Vietnamese immigration authorities that permits a traveller to obtain a visa upon arrival at designated airports.

How can I check the status of my Vietnam visa online?

You can easily track the status of your Vietnam visa application using the SwiftVisa Vietnam visa status checker tool.

What should I do if I have not received my Vietnam visa after the processing time?

Delays in receiving your visa can occur due to various reasons, such as high application volumes or technical issues. If you have not received your Vietnam e-visa within the expected processing time, you have two options:

  • Check your email’s spam or junk folder.
  • If it’s not there, contact the e-visa support team via the application platform for assistance.

Tip: Always apply for your e-visa well in advance to account for any potential delays and avoid last-minute travel disruptions.

Do I need to print my Vietnam e-visa?

Yes, you will need to print out your e-visa before travelling to Vietnam. You will need to present a physical copy when you land at the airport.

Can I apply for a family or group Vietnam e-visa?

Yes, you can apply for e-visas for your family or group members in a single application session on SwiftVisa. It streamlines the process and allows you to manage all applications simultaneously. However, each member’s details, including passport information and photographs, must be provided.

Can I make corrections to my Vietnam visa application after submission?

No, you cannot edit or correct your application once it has been submitted. If you notice any errors after submission, you will need to fill out a fresh application and pay the visa fee again. Please note the fee for the initial application is non-refundable.

Tip: Take your time when filling out the application form and double-check all entries before submission to avoid the need for a new application.

How can I ensure my Vietnam visa application is not rejected?

Here are a few points you can keep in mind to ensure that your Vietnam visa application is approved:

  • Error-free application: Complete the visa application form accurately and completely. Submitting false information can lead to visa rejection. When applying, make sure to have your passport by your side to cross-check and fill in the details.
  • Valid passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months and has sufficient blank pages. If not, renew your passport before applying.
  • Recent photographs: It is important to submit recent passport-sized photographs that meet the specific requirements of the Vietnamese immigration authorities. Avoid heavy filters to ensure you look the same way as seen in the photograph.
  • Applying without a surname: Please note that you cannot apply for a Vietnam e-visa using the government website if you do not have a surname. Applying without a surname will only lead to a visa rejection, disrupting your travel plan. In such a case, apply with an authorised visa service, like SwiftVisa, which can provide you with a pre-approval letter that you can use to get a visa on arrival in Vietnam.

Can I reapply for a Vietnam visa after rejection?

Yes, if your Vietnam visa application is rejected, you can reapply. However, it is important to understand the reasons for the rejection and address them in your new application. Alternatively, you may seek assistance from an authorised visa expert to increase your chances of approval on the second attempt.

Can I apply for a Vietnam visa if my passport is about to expire?

No, your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date in Vietnam. If your passport is close to expiring, you should renew it before applying for the visa.

Do I have to enter Vietnam on the exact date specified on my e-visa?

No, entering on the exact date is not mandatory. You can enter Vietnam on any date between the arrival date and exit date stated on your e-visa for Vietnam. Please note that earlier entry is also not allowed.

Can I enter Vietnam through any port of entry with an e-visa?

No, e-visa holders can enter Vietnam only through 33 designated ports (land/sea/air).

Some of the major international e-visa entry ports are Tan Son Nhat Int. Airport (Ho Chi Minh City), Noi Bai Int. Airport (Ha Noi), Cat Bi Int Airport (Hai Phong), Da Nang International Airport, and Cam Ranh Int Airport (Khanh Hoa).

Can I enter Vietnam through a port different from what I mentioned in the visa application form?

No, the Vietnam e-visa only allows you to enter through the port chosen in the visa application form. If there is any change in your port of entry, you must confirm with the Vietnam immigration office before travelling to ensure that you are not refused entry upon reaching.

Can my Vietnam visa get rejected at the immigration?

No, the Vietnam e-visa is generally not rejected at the immigration checkpoint.

However, you might be refused entry in cases where:

  • The airport where you have arrived is different from the entry point you provided in the visa application.
  • The validity of your Vietnam visa has expired.
  • A change in your situation goes against the eligibility criteria for issuing a Vietnam visa. For example, your passport is no longer valid for 6 months.

Can Indians get a Vietnam visa on arrival?

Yes, Indians can obtain a Vietnam visa on arrival. However, you must first secure a pre-approval letter from a Vietnamese visa agency before you travel. Moreover, the pre-approval is only valid for entry by flight and not via land or sea.

Can I apply for a Vietnam visa at the embassy?

Yes, you can apply for a Vietnam visa at the embassy. However, applying for a Vietnam visa is a bit complicated and extra work, as:

  • You can only apply through a sponsor or authorised visa company;
  • You will need to visit the embassy to submit documents; hence, the processing time will be longer.
  • Upon reaching the visa-on-arrival queue, you will need to wait for the visa stamp.

It is, thus, best to apply for a Vietnam e-visa, which is a faster and simpler process, and ensures smooth entry at the airport.

Can I extend my e-visa while in Vietnam?

No, a Vietnam visa is non-extendable.

However, if you wish to stay longer, you can request an agency/organisation/individual in Vietnam to guarantee your stay and apply on your behalf for a new visa at the Vietnam Immigration Department.

Note: Overstaying on a visa is highly discouraged. The Government of Vietnam has recently increased the penalties for visa overstays, and fines can be substantial. Moreover,  processing exit visas for cases involving visa overstays can take one to two weeks and longer for more complex cases. Therefore, you must apply for a visa extension before your current visa expires.

Do I need a transit visa for Vietnam?

If you’re just transiting through Vietnam on a connecting flight and don’t need to leave the airport, you generally don’t need a visa. However, if you have to pick up your luggage or go through immigration, you will need a visa.

Tip: Check with your airline to see if you need a transit visa. If you are still unsure, it’s safer to apply for a visa.

Can I change the purpose of my visit after receiving the Vietnam e-visa?

No, the purpose of your visit, as stated in your e-visa application, cannot be changed after the visa is issued. If your travel purpose changes, you will need to apply for a new visa that reflects the correct purpose.

Recommendation: Ensure that you select the correct purpose of visit when applying for your e-visa to avoid the need for reapplication.
