How to Submit a Vietnam Visa Correction Request: Step-by-Step

A small typo on an approved visa is more common than people expect — a transposed digit in a passport number, a name that got auto-corrected wrong, a birth date entered in the wrong format. It's fixable, and it doesn't mean starting over. Here's exactly how to submit a correction request.

A Typical Correction Situation

Say your e-visa was approved last week, and while double-checking it against your passport before your trip, you notice your passport number is off by one digit — maybe a 0 was read as an 8 during the original application. The visa is otherwise valid and approved, but that single error could cause a mismatch at immigration. This is exactly the kind of issue the correction service exists for: the core application was fine, but one specific detail needs fixing before you travel.

Which Form Option to Choose

On the application form, you'll see three options:

• Speed up existing visa — for an application still processing that you want expedited
• E-visa — for a brand-new application
• Correct visa errors — for a visa that's already approved but has incorrect information

If your visa is approved and something on it is wrong, select Correct visa errors.

Step-by-Step: Filling Out the Correction Form

1. E-Visa App No. Enter your application number exactly as it appears on your approval (format like VE-123...). This is how your existing visa is located in the system.
2. Email. Use the address you can check for updates — ideally the same one used on the original application.
3. Phone Number. Include your country code, so support can reach you quickly if anything needs clarifying.
4. What needs to be corrected. Describe the issue clearly and specifically — for example: "Passport number should end in 0, currently shows 8" or "Date of birth listed as 03/04 instead of 04/03." A precise description here means fewer back-and-forth messages later.
5. Upload your E-Visa PDF — the approved visa document as originally issued (PDF only, max 10 MB).
6. Upload your Passport Page — a clear photo or scan of your passport's bio page (JPG, PNG, or PDF), so the correct information can be verified against it.
7. Upload your Portrait Photo — the same type of photo used for the original application (JPG or PNG).
8. Review the service fee (85 USD) and click Apply Now.

Tips for a Smooth Correction

• Be as specific as possible in the description field — "fix my name" is harder to act on quickly than "middle name is missing a letter, should be 'Nguyen' not 'Nguyn'"
• Upload a passport photo that clearly shows the correct information you're referencing, not just any old scan
• Double-check every other field on your visa while you're at it — if you spot more than one issue, describe all of them in the same request rather than submitting separately

Checking Your Corrected Visa

Once your correction is processed, the update is reflected directly on the official government system. You can verify it yourself at any time at evisa.gov.vn/e-visa/search, using your application number and registered details. This means you're not just taking our word that the correction went through — you can confirm the updated information directly from the source.

Our Refund Guarantee

If the correction can't be completed — for example, if the change you're requesting turns out to require a completely new application rather than an amendment — you're not left paying for something that didn't work. We'll explain why, and refund the correction fee rather than keeping payment for a service that wasn't delivered.

Why Use Our Correction Service

• A dedicated process, not a generic contact form. Correction requests go through their own structured form, so nothing gets lost in a general inbox.
• Clear, upfront pricing. 85 USD, no hidden add-ons discovered after you've already submitted your documents.
• Verified against your actual documents. Requiring the passport page and original e-visa PDF means corrections are checked against real evidence, not just your written description.
• 24/7 support if you're not sure how to describe your issue or which option applies to your situation.
• Refund if we can't resolve it — described above.
