Vietnam eVisa — Checklist 2026
Vietnam eVisa
Application
Checklist
A simple check before you press submit: details, photos, dates, entry type and payment.
Most application problems are not about eligibility. They are small mismatches that could have been caught before submitting. Use this list as your last look.
Key Takeaways
- Match every detail to the passport data page, character by character.
- Photos must be clear and readable.
- Validity counts from your arrival date; entry type and validity cannot be changed after payment.
- Use an email you can check right now and save your reference number.
- If you find a mistake after paying, tell us straight away. A correction is $85.
The Six-Point Checklist
Full name, passport number, date of birth, nationality: compare each with the passport, not from memory.
A clear passport data page and a portrait photo. Retake blurry or cropped images in good light.
Enter the day your flight really lands. Validity counts from this date.
Single or multiple, 1 month or up to 3 months. These cannot be changed after payment.
Use an email you can check immediately and keep WhatsApp available.
Note the reference number (format E260720USA...) and keep the confirmation email.

If You Find a Mistake
Do not apply again before checking with us: it can mean paying the government fee twice. If the eVisa is already issued with an error, a correction through our service costs $85. If your application is still pending with an error, a corrected new application may be needed at the standard fee. We tell you which after a free file check.
Send us your details on WhatsApp before you submit and we will review them for free.
