1. Entering Incorrect Passport Information
The mistake: a typo in the passport number, full name, or date of birth -- even something as small as an "O" instead of a "0."
Why it matters: if your details don't match your passport exactly, your visa can be rejected or delayed, even if you paid for the fastest tier.
2. Choosing the Wrong Visa Type
The mistake: selecting single-entry when you need multiple entries, or tourist when you need business.
Why it matters: a wrong-type visa may still get approved but not actually cover your trip, and changing it later can mean a full new application and extra fees.
3. Delaying Payment After Submission
The mistake: submitting the form, then waiting hours before paying the processing fee.
Why it matters: processing time starts once payment is confirmed, not at submission. A delay in paying means your "1-hour" tier arrives 1 hour after you actually pay, not 1 hour after you filled out the form.
4. Assuming Every Provider Offers True 24/7 Processing
The mistake: applying late at night in Vietnam time, assuming any urgent visa service processes around the clock.
Why it matters: not every provider genuinely staffs urgent processing outside normal business hours -- some only work standard hours despite marketing themselves as "urgent." Applying with the wrong provider at 3 AM Vietnam time could mean waiting until the next business day regardless of the tier you paid for.
5. Sending Blurry or Non-Compliant Passport Photos
The mistake: a low-quality passport scan or a photo that doesn't meet requirements -- a leading cause of urgent visa delays.
Why it matters: Vietnam Immigration needs a clear, high-resolution passport scan and a properly sized photo (4x6 cm). A blurry or incorrectly cropped image gets bounced back for correction, costing you the time you were trying to save.

FAQ
What photo specs does Vietnam Immigration actually require? +
A clear, recent, color digital photo (4x6 cm), plain white or light background, face forward, no glasses or head covering, no filters or heavy editing.
Does applying late at night in Vietnam time actually slow things down? +
Not with our service -- we operate 24/7, including the dedicated Weekend/Holiday tier for when the government portal itself is closed. Just be aware that not every provider offers genuine round-the-clock processing, so confirm this before choosing one.
When does urgent processing actually begin? +
Once your payment is confirmed, not when you submit the form. Pay promptly after submitting to avoid losing time within your chosen tier.
