Vietnam e-Visa Form Fields: The Exact Format Each One Needs
Direct Answer
The core rule for every field on the Vietnam e-visa form: match your passport exactly, character for character. Below is the specific format for each field that commonly causes confusion — name, dates, passport number, and blank fields — so you can check your entries against a clear standard before submitting.
If you're double-checking your entries field by field before submitting, here's exactly what each one should look like.
Field-by-Field Format Reference
| Field | Correct Format |
|---|---|
| Full name | Exactly as printed on passport, including every middle name — match capitalization style shown on your passport |
| Date of birth / expiry | Follow the format labeled on the specific field — don't assume MM/DD/YYYY applies everywhere |
| Passport number | Exact character sequence from your passport — no added spaces or hyphens, none omitted either |
| Nationality | The country that issued your passport, not necessarily where you live |
| Empty/inapplicable fields | Leave blank rather than "N/A" or a placeholder, unless instructed otherwise |
| Entry port | The actual airport/border/seaport you'll use — match your real itinerary, not a nearby alternative |
The single principle underlying all of these: consistency with your physical passport beats any assumption about "standard" formatting.
The Most Common Format Mistake
Assuming your home country's date format applies everywhere. If you're used to writing dates as MM/DD/YYYY, but the form field is labeled DD/MM/YYYY, entering your birthday out of habit rather than reading the field's own format can flip your day and month — sometimes without triggering any error message if both numbers happen to be valid days.
A Simple Self-Check Before Submitting
- Open your passport to the photo page and lay the form next to it
- Read each field on the form, then find the matching text on your passport — not from memory
- Confirm dates match the format labeled on the specific field, not your habitual format
- Check nothing has been auto-corrected or auto-capitalized incorrectly by your browser

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I enter my name in all capital letters on the Vietnam e-visa form?
Match your passport exactly. Most passports print the name field in capitals, so entering it the same way is the safest approach — the goal is an exact match, not a specific capitalization rule.
What date format does the Vietnam e-visa form expect?
Follow the format shown directly on the form field itself, since this can vary by field (DD/MM/YYYY is common for Vietnamese government forms, differing from the US MM/DD/YYYY convention) — read the field's own label rather than assuming.
Do I include my middle name on the form?
Yes, if it appears on your passport. Every name element on your passport should appear on the visa application — omitting a middle name that's on your passport is a common cause of a mismatch.
How should I enter my passport number if it has letters and numbers mixed?
Enter it exactly as printed, including the exact sequence of letters and numbers — don't add spaces or hyphens that aren't on the passport itself, and don't omit any that are.
What if a form field doesn't apply to me, like a middle name I don't have?
Leave it blank rather than entering "N/A" or a placeholder, unless the form specifically instructs otherwise — entering placeholder text can sometimes cause a mismatch if it's later compared against blank passport fields.
