What Is a Vietnam eVisa?
The Vietnam eVisa is an official electronic visa issued by Vietnam's Immigration Department. Instead of visiting an embassy, US citizens can apply online, upload documents, pay the fee, and receive the eVisa via email. It's valid for tourism, business, visiting relatives, and short-term stays, and it allows entry through a growing network of international airports, land borders, and seaports.

9. Can I extend my eVisa while in Vietnam?
ApplyEvisaVietnam.com processes eVisas only -- we don't handle in-country extensions directly with Vietnam Immigration. If you need more time, the two real options are a border run to a neighboring country for a fresh eVisa, or applying directly at the Vietnam Immigration Department in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
10. Can I reapply after my eVisa expires?
Yes -- once your current eVisa's validity period ends, you'd apply for a new one before your next trip.
11. Do I need to print my eVisa?
No. Showing the PDF on your phone is generally accepted, but a printed copy is a sensible backup in case of connectivity issues.
12. Is the Vietnam eVisa accepted at all airports?
It's valid at a growing network of designated entry points.
13. Can I enter Vietnam by land with an eVisa?

$50 USD standard, government fee included -- no separate charge to budget for.

Not required for the eVisa application, but strongly recommended.
22. How do I check my eVisa status?
Contact support for an update, or wait for email confirmation.

Contact support to discuss your options -- your eVisa is tied to specific entry details, so it's best to confirm rather than assume it automatically covers a new date.
33. Is urgent processing guaranteed?
If you submit accurate, complete documents, approval is very likely, but no private service can unconditionally guarantee it. If delivery misses your committed timeframe, the processing fee is refunded 100%.
34. Can I use a scanned photo from my phone?
Yes, if it meets passport photo standards (white background, front-facing).
35. Is the Vietnam eVisa renewable?

36. Do I need to show proof of accommodation?
Usually not required for the application, but keep your accommodation details handy in case immigration asks.
37. Can I apply without flight details?
Yes, but you must provide your intended entry and exit dates.
38. Does the eVisa guarantee entry?
The eVisa is the required document, but the final decision rests with immigration officers on arrival, as with any country's border control.
