Direct Answer
Applying for a Vietnam e-visa online is genuinely simple — but before typing your passport number or card details into any site, a few seconds checking the actual domain protects you. Near-identical domains genuinely exist in this space: an extra hyphen, a different extension, a subdomain that doesn't match a business's own verified pages. This is a real, practical risk, not a hypothetical one.

Verifying the Official Government Site
If you're applying directly, the current official domains are evisa.gov.vn and thithucdientu.gov.vn (both legitimate, operating together since a November 2024 update). Before entering anything, check the address bar carefully:
- Does it match one of the two domains above exactly — no extra words, no unusual extension?
- Is the connection secure (a padlock icon, https)?
- Does the page design and language match what you'd expect from an official government site, not a rough copy?
If You're Applying Through an Agency
The same principle applies, with a slightly different check. Given how many visa-service businesses operate in this space, worth confirming:
- Does the domain match what's referenced in their independent reviews? Search for the business on Trustpilot or Google Reviews directly, and confirm the domain listed there matches what you're actually on.
- Are the contact details consistent? The same phone number and email should appear across every page of a legitimate business — a mismatch, even a small one, is worth pausing over.
- Does the domain look almost-but-not-quite right? An extra hyphen, a slightly different spelling, or an unfamiliar extension can indicate a copycat or scraper site rather than the genuine business.
This genuinely matters in the Vietnam visa space specifically — near-identical domain patterns exist, and confusing one for another before entering passport and payment details carries real risk. See our full checklist for spotting a fake or inconsistent visa service for the complete version.

What No Agency Can Honestly Guarantee
Verifying you're on a legitimate site protects your personal and payment information — it doesn't guarantee approval, which no agency, however legitimate, actually controls. What we can honestly commit to: if we miss the timeframe you paid for, the processing fee comes back in full.

Consistent contact details across every page, transparent pricing you can check before applying, and a public review record on an independent platform you're welcome to verify yourself — 4.9 out of 5 across 150+ Trustpilot reviews, checkable on Trustpilot directly, not just quoted on our own page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know I'm on the real government site versus a fake one?
The two current official domains are evisa.gov.vn and thithucdientu.gov.vn — check the address bar carefully for extra words, hyphens, or an unfamiliar extension before entering any passport or payment details.
How do I verify an agency site is legitimate before applying?
Check that the domain matches exactly what's referenced in their independent reviews (Trustpilot, Google), confirm the contact phone number and email are consistent across every page you check, and be wary of near-identical domains with an extra hyphen, word, or different extension.
What's a red flag in the domain itself?
A domain that's almost but not quite right — an extra hyphen, a slightly different extension, or a subdomain that doesn't match what's used consistently elsewhere on a business's own verified pages.
Do Australians need a visa for Vietnam at all?
Yes — Australia is not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list. A visa is required for any trip length.
Is approval guaranteed once I've verified I'm on a legitimate site?
No — verifying legitimacy protects your personal and payment information, but no agency, legitimate or otherwise, can guarantee Vietnamese immigration's actual approval decision.
