Details to Check Before You Pay
Government processing runs Monday to Friday, 8:00-11:30 and 13:30-18:00. Start early enough that five hours ends before 18:00; around midday Vietnam time is a sensible latest start.
Number, full name and date of birth must match the passport exactly. A correction costs $85.
A clear passport data page and a portrait photo. Blurry files are a common cause of delay.
Single or multiple, 1 month or up to 3 months. These cannot be changed after payment.
Use an email you can check right now, and keep WhatsApp open in case we need to confirm a detail.
