The SIN Entry Port Problem: Most Common Error for Indian Travelers

Nearly all Indian flights to Vietnam transit through Singapore Changi Airport (SIN). IndiGo, Air India, Singapore Airlines, and Vistara code-shares all route through SIN before landing at a Vietnamese airport. When filling the eVisa application, the entry port field must contain the Vietnamese airport where the plane physically lands — not Singapore.

The evisa.gov.vn portal accepts SIN as a valid IATA code and processes payment without flagging it. The error is caught later during government review, triggering Amendment Required with no email notification. This stops the application and resets the clock to Day 1 from correction — the most common cause of last-minute urgency for Indian travelers.

Indian departure route	Wrong port	Correct port	Destination
BOM / DEL / BLR via Singapore → Ho Chi Minh City	SIN	SGN	Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat)
BOM / DEL / MAA via Singapore → Hanoi	SIN	HAN	Hanoi (Noi Bai)
BLR / MAA / CCU via Singapore → Da Nang	SIN	DAD	Da Nang International
Any Indian city via Singapore → Phu Quoc	SIN	PQC	Phu Quoc International

Rule: open the booking confirmation. Find the flight segment where "Arrives" shows a Vietnamese city. That IATA code is the entry port. VietnamVisaEasy verifies the entry port before every agency-assisted submission.

eVisa Requirements for Indian Citizens

Document / field	Requirement
Passport	Valid Indian passport with at least 6 months validity beyond Vietnam arrival date. 2 blank pages minimum.
Portrait photo	JPEG only. White background, neutral expression, no glasses, face fills 70%+ of frame, under 2MB. Android: camera apps usually save as JPEG. Check file extension before uploading.
Passport bio page scan	JPEG, full page including MRZ lines visible, all text legible, under 2MB. Use Adobe Scan or CamScanner for flat, glare-free result.
Full legal name	Exactly as shown in passport MRZ second line. Indian passports sometimes abbreviate names in the main page but show full name in MRZ — use MRZ version.
Entry date	Vietnam arrival date in DD/MM/YYYY from "Arrives" column of Vietnam-landing flight segment. Indian routes to Vietnam do not cross the Date Line — the arrival date in Vietnam is typically the same calendar day or +1 day at most.
Entry port	Vietnamese airport: SGN (HCMC), HAN (Hanoi), DAD (Da Nang), PQC (Phu Quoc), CXR (Nha Trang). Never SIN.
Validity	30 or 90 days. Same price. Always choose 90 days.
Payment	USD credit or debit card on evisa.gov.vn. Visa, Mastercard, and most international cards work. UPI, net banking, and INR payment not available. VietnamVisaEasy accepts multiple payment methods.
