Application quality checklist
- Enter your passport details for Vietnam exactly as printed — names, number, and expiry must match.
- Pick the option that matches your trip — Vietnam offers Tourist Evisa (Single Entry for 90 days), Tourist Evisa (Multiple Entries for 90 days), Business Evisa (Single Entry for 90 days).
- Upload clear, legible files: Vietnam decisions are document-based, so unreadable scans trigger most follow-up requests.
- Check your travel dates against the visa validity (commonly 90 days) before you submit.
For Vietnam, most avoidable delays come from data mismatches and unclear uploads — not payment — so review every field against your passport before checkout.
