Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Vietnam, not from your departure date. Double-check before you apply.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 3-5 working days. Apply at least a week before your departure to be safe. The fee is about $25 USD, paid online by credit card.
eVisa extensions are not guaranteed. Officially, you can apply for an extension at a local immigration office (e.g., in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City), but it's often easier to do a border run — exit to a neighboring country and re-enter with a new eVisa.
Yes, immigration officers may ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready.
You will be denied boarding by the airline and refused entry by Vietnamese immigration. Renew your passport before applying for the eVisa.
Yes, the eVisa is accepted at all international airports in Vietnam: Noi Bai (Hanoi), Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City), Da Nang, Cam Ranh (Nha Trang), and others. Land borders also accept eVisa for certain crossings — check the official list.
No, it's not mandatory for entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs in Vietnam can be high, and insurance covers emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost luggage.
Rejections are rare but can happen due to incorrect information or photo issues. You can reapply with corrected details. If you're in a rush, consider using a visa agency or applying for a visa on arrival through a travel agent (though this is more expensive).
