Want us to check everything before you submit? |
☐ Documents to Have Ready
- ☐ Passport, valid 6+ months from your planned entry date
- ☐ At least 2 blank passport pages
- ☐ A clear scan or photo of the passport's data page — full page, no cropping
- ☐ A portrait-style photo — white background, no glasses, no selfie or cropped social photo
- ☐ A valid email you check regularly
- ☐ A payment method — card, PayPal, or (if applying through an agency) WeChat/Alipay
☐ Decisions to Make Before You Start
- ☐ Exact entry date and exit date
- ☐ Exact entry port — matching your real arrival airport, land border, or sea port
- ☐ Validity: 30 or 90 days (same price — 90 is usually the safer default)
- ☐ Entry type: single ($25) or multiple ($50) — choose multiple if there's any chance of a side trip out and back in
- ☐ Your intended address in Vietnam (first hotel is usually sufficient)

What No Agency Can Honestly Guarantee
No service, including us, can guarantee approval — that decision belongs to Vietnamese immigration alone, even on a perfectly-prepared application. What we can honestly commit to, if you use our service: a refund on our processing fee if we miss the timeframe you paid for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the single most common item people forget before applying?
A correctly-formatted portrait photo — selfies and cropped social media photos are the most frequent cause of a document being rejected before the application even reaches immigration review.
Do I need to know my exact entry port before I start?
Yes — your e-visa is tied to a specific entry point matching your actual arrival airport, land border, or sea port. Confirm this before filling out the form.
Should I decide single or multiple entry before I start?
Yes — decide this upfront. If there's any chance you'll leave and re-enter Vietnam (a side trip to Cambodia or Laos, for example), multiple-entry avoids needing a separate application later.
Is there a cost difference between 30 and 90 days?
No — both cost the same within the same entry type, so choosing 90 days upfront is usually the safer default even for a shorter trip.
What should I have ready before contacting support for help?
Your passport scan, photo, and travel dates — having these ready means support can review everything in one exchange rather than several back-and-forth messages.
