Vietnam eVisa Ports of Entry 2026: Complete List of Airports, Land Borders, and Seaports

VietnamVisaEasy • Updated July 19, 2026 • Processing experience since 2010

Direct answer

Vietnam has 52 designated eVisa entry ports: 8 international airports, 23 land border checkpoints, and 12 seaports. You must enter through the exact port selected on your eVisa application — entering through a different port is not permitted.

The 8 international airports — the entry point for almost all travelers from the US, Australia, Canada, and Europe: SGN (Ho Chi Minh City) • HAN (Hanoi) • DAD (Da Nang) • PQC (Phu Quoc) • CXR (Nha Trang) • HUI (Hue) • HPH (Hai Phong) • VCA (Can Tho)

Critical: Entry port = Vietnamese airport where your plane lands. Never SIN, ICN, NRT, or DXB (transit hubs). Wrong entry port triggers Amendment Required with no email, resetting the processing clock.

Watch: travelers who had wrong entry port corrected before their flight

Verified reviews • Including Amendment Required cases fixed same day

The Most Important Thing to Understand About Entry Port

The entry port field on the Vietnam eVisa application is the single most misunderstood field — and the most consequential error. Most international travelers to Vietnam fly through Singapore Changi (SIN) or Seoul Incheon (ICN). These are transit airports. They are not entry ports.

Vietnamese immigration does not see you at Changi or Incheon. They see you when your plane lands at Tan Son Nhat (SGN), Noi Bai (HAN), Da Nang (DAD), or another Vietnamese airport. That Vietnamese airport code is what goes in the entry port field — without exception.

When SIN or ICN is entered as the port, Vietnamese immigration flags Amendment Required immediately. No email is sent. The application stops processing until the error is corrected. If this happens a week before a flight, it is a major problem. If it happens two days before, it requires urgent escalation. VietnamVisaEasy reviews the entry port before submission on every application — this is one of the key reasons travelers use agency assistance.

Entry Port by Route — Quick Reference

Route (examples)	Wrong port	Correct port	Vietnamese city
JFK / LAX / SYD / MEL via Singapore → Ho Chi Minh City	SIN	SGN	Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat)
JFK / LAX / SYD via Seoul → Hanoi	ICN	HAN	Hanoi (Noi Bai)
ORD / SFO / any US via Tokyo → Ho Chi Minh City	NRT	SGN	Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat)
Any US / AU / EU via any transit → Da Nang	SIN / ICN	DAD	Da Nang International
Any route via HCMC domestic connection → Phu Quoc	SGN	PQC	Phu Quoc International
JFK via Dubai (DXB) → Ho Chi Minh City	DXB	SGN	Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat)

Rule: look at the "Arrives" column on the Vietnam-landing segment of your booking confirmation. That airport code is your entry port.

International Airports — Entry Port Codes

Eight international airports are designated eVisa entry ports. Almost all travelers arriving from the US, Australia, Canada, Europe, or other long-haul origins enter through one of these.

IATA	Airport	City / Province	Notes for travelers
SGN	Tan Son Nhat International	Ho Chi Minh City	Busiest airport in Vietnam. Main entry for US travelers via Singapore or Seoul. Most international long-haul routes land here.
HAN	Noi Bai International	Hanoi	Vietnam's capital airport. Gateway to Halong Bay, Sapa, Ninh Binh. Common for travelers starting in the north.
DAD	Da Nang International	Da Nang	Gateway to Hoi An (30km), Hue (90km). Central Vietnam entry point. Use DAD even if transiting via SIN or ICN.
PQC	Phu Quoc International	Phu Quoc Island, Kien Giang	Island beach destination in the Gulf of Thailand. Direct international flights from some Asian hubs. Many travelers fly SGN then domestic to PQC — use PQC only if your international ticket lands at Phu Quoc directly.
CXR	Cam Ranh International	Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa	Nha Trang / beach resort area. Cam Ranh is the airport name, CXR is the code. Not SGN.
HUI	Phu Bai International	Hue, Thua Thien Hue	Hue city, Imperial Citadel. Fewer direct international flights than SGN/HAN/DAD — most Hue travelers use DAD then road transfer.
HPH	Cat Bi International	Hai Phong	Hai Phong port city, northern Vietnam. Secondary gateway to Halong Bay area (closer than HAN for some routes).
VCA	Can Tho International	Can Tho, Mekong Delta	Mekong Delta hub. Limited international routes — most travelers arrive at SGN and travel overland to Can Tho (3 hours).

If your international itinerary ends at SGN and you then take a domestic flight to PQC or CXR, your eVisa entry port is SGN — the first Vietnamese airport you land at. Domestic connections within Vietnam do not change the entry port.

Land Border Checkpoints — eVisa Entry Points

Travelers entering Vietnam overland from Cambodia, Laos, or China can use 23 designated land border checkpoints. Select the specific checkpoint as your entry port during eVisa application. Travelers planning to leave Vietnam, cross into Cambodia or Laos, and re-enter Vietnam need a multiple-entry eVisa (USD 50).

Checkpoint	Border	Province	Common use
Vietnam — Cambodia
Moc Bai	Vietnam – Cambodia	Tay Ninh	Busiest overland crossing. Phnom Penh to HCMC route. Buses available.
Ha Tien (Xa Xia)	Vietnam – Cambodia	Kien Giang	Kampot / Sihanoukville (Cambodia) to Ha Tien / Phu Quoc.
Song Tien (Vinh Xuong)	Vietnam – Cambodia	An Giang	Mekong River crossing from Phnom Penh to Chau Doc.
Tinh Bien	Vietnam – Cambodia	An Giang	Mekong Delta, Chau Doc area.
Xa Mat	Vietnam – Cambodia	Tay Ninh	Secondary Cambodia crossing north of Moc Bai.
Vietnam — Laos
Lao Bao	Vietnam – Laos	Quang Tri	Busiest Vietnam–Laos crossing. Savannakhet (Laos) to Da Nang or Hue direction.

Tay Trang	Vietnam – Laos	Dien Bien	Dien Bien Phu area. Connects to Phongsali province, Laos.
La Lay	Vietnam – Laos	Quang Tri	Connects southern Laos and northeastern Thailand to Central Vietnam seaports.
Vietnam — China
Huu Nghi	Vietnam – China	Lang Son	Nanning–Hanoi expressway crossing. Main road border with China.
Lao Cai	Vietnam – China	Lao Cai	Gateway to Sapa. Kunming (China) to Hanoi rail route crosses here at Ha Khau.
Mong Cai	Vietnam – China	Quang Ninh	Fangchenggang (China) crossing. Trade and commerce focus.
Nam Can	Vietnam – China	Nghe An	Namkan (China) crossing. Ky Son district.

Additional land border checkpoints designated for eVisa entry: Binh Hiep, Ha Tien (Giang Thanh), Dinh Ba, Long Binh, Vinh Xuong (An Giang, additional Mekong crossings). Total land border checkpoints: 23. Confirm current operating status before travel as seasonal closures can affect some minor crossings.

Seaports — For Cruise Passengers and Sea Arrivals

Twelve seaports are designated for eVisa entry. Relevant primarily for cruise ship passengers and travelers arriving by private yacht or vessel. Travelers arriving at these seaports must select the seaport during application — not the nearest airport.

Ho Chi Minh City Seaport	Nha Rong Port area. Cruise passenger terminal. City center HCMC.
Da Nang Seaport	Da Nang Bay. Popular cruise stop for Hoi An and Hue day trips. 12km² port area.
Chan May Seaport (Hue)	Thua Thien Hue. Between Da Nang and Hue. Singapore–Philippines–Hong Kong cruise route stop.
Hai Phong Seaport	Largest northern seaport. National-level general port cluster. 91km from Hanoi.
Hon Gai Seaport	Ha Long City, Quang Ninh. Faces Bai Chay tourist area. Gateway to Ha Long Bay by sea.
Nha Trang Seaport	Nha Trang Bay, Khanh Hoa. Cargo and cruise combined. Different from CXR airport (Cam Ranh).
Quy Nhon Seaport	Quy Nhon Bay, Binh Dinh. Sheltered by Phuong Mai Peninsula. Class 1 regional gateway port.
Vung Tau Seaport	Ba Ria–Vung Tau. Southern gateway port. 71km from HCMC. Offshore oil industry hub.
Duong Dong Seaport	Phu Quoc Island. Ferry and small vessel arrivals on the island.
Quang Ninh Seaport	Additional Quang Ninh province sea entry point (separate from Hon Gai).

Can You Enter at a Different Port Than Your eVisa Shows?

No. The entry port on the eVisa is fixed to whatever was selected during application. You must enter Vietnam through that exact port. If your travel plans change — for example, your flight now arrives at Da Nang instead of Ho Chi Minh City — you need a new eVisa with the correct entry port. You cannot simply arrive at a different port and expect to be admitted.

Similarly, an approved eVisa that shows the wrong Vietnamese airport — because the transit hub was entered instead — is invalid for entry, even though it shows Approved status. Vietnamese immigration will see the mismatch and deny entry.

If you discover a wrong entry port before your flight: contact WhatsApp +84 947 754 252 immediately. If the application is still In Process: Path B correction, free. If already approved with wrong port: new eVisa required — 1-Hour USD 185 before 18:00 VNT, Boarding Letter in 30 minutes as bridge.

Frequently asked questions

What entry port should I put on my Vietnam eVisa?

Entry port = IATA code of the Vietnamese airport where your plane lands. Via Singapore to HCMC: SGN. Via Seoul to Hanoi: HAN. Via any transit to Da Nang: DAD. Via any transit to Phu Quoc: PQC. Via any transit to Nha Trang: CXR. Never SIN, ICN, NRT, or DXB. Find the correct code on the "Arrives" line for the Vietnam-landing segment of your booking confirmation.

How many eVisa entry ports does Vietnam have?

52 designated ports: 8 international airports (SGN, HAN, DAD, PQC, CXR, HUI, HPH, VCA), 23 land border checkpoints (Vietnam–Cambodia, Vietnam–Laos, Vietnam–China), and 12 seaports. Entry through any port not on the designated list is not permitted on an eVisa.

Can I enter Vietnam at a different port than the one on my eVisa?

No. The entry port is fixed to what was selected during application. Arriving at a different Vietnamese airport or border crossing than what is on the eVisa results in denial of entry. If plans have changed, a new eVisa with the correct port is required. Contact WhatsApp +84 947 754 252 for urgent correction — 1-Hour USD 185 before 18:00 VNT.

Can I enter Vietnam overland from Cambodia with an eVisa?

Yes, if you selected the land border checkpoint as your entry port during application. Most popular: Moc Bai (Tay Ninh) for the Phnom Penh to HCMC route. Also: Ha Tien (Xa Xia), Song Tien, Tinh Bien, Xa Mat. If you plan to fly into Vietnam, cross into Cambodia, and re-enter Vietnam, you need a multiple-entry eVisa (USD 50).

What happens if I put the wrong entry port on my eVisa?

Before approval: Amendment Required flagged with no email, application stops. Path B correction free via WhatsApp +84 947 754 252. After approval with wrong port: eVisa is technically approved but invalid for the trip. Airlines or Vietnamese immigration may deny boarding or entry. New eVisa needed with correct port — 1-Hour USD 185 before 18:00 VNT, Boarding Letter 30 min bridge.

My international flight lands at SGN but I then take a domestic flight to Phu Quoc — what is my entry port?

Your entry port is SGN. Vietnamese immigration processes you at the first Vietnamese airport you land at — Tan Son Nhat (SGN). The domestic connection to Phu Quoc (PQC) happens after you clear immigration at SGN. Use PQC as entry port only if your international ticket (from a foreign country) lands directly at Phu Quoc Airport.

Can cruise passengers use a Vietnam eVisa at seaports?

Yes. 12 seaports are designated eVisa entry points including Ho Chi Minh City Seaport, Da Nang Seaport, Chan May (Hue), Hon Gai (Halong Bay), Nha Trang Seaport, Hai Phong Seaport, and Vung Tau. Cruise passengers must select the correct seaport as entry port during application — not the nearest airport. Confirm the ship's tender or docking port with your cruise line before applying.
