Gotchas to watch
- Vietnam's e-Visa application only requires two uploads — a scan of your passport data page and a passport-style photo; everything else (addresses, entry/exit gates) is entered as form fields.
- Apply only on the official portal (evisa.gov.vn / thithucdientu.gov.vn) — many lookalike sites charge extra fees.
- An e-Visa is permission to travel, not a guarantee of entry — the border officer decides on arrival.
- Enter and exit Vietnam only through the designated international border gates listed on the portal.
