[@MrEKS-st6mc]

Thanks Travis good info - might I add the process may be a bit arbitrary as my wife and I submitted the e-visa with identical residency info ie: hotel name plus city (Danang) my application was approved immediately but my wife was denied requesting additional information so we added the exact full address of hotel and resubmitted. Very interesting process to say the least - probably reviewed and determined by different individuals in immigration department.

[@alcote4686]

Very good & informative video. So I can download a photo of myself & my passport from my photo gallery to the application. I do plan on having a professional mug shot taken of myself and taking a picture of my passport page using my phone or iPad.

I just got my 3-month tourist visa approved. It cost it me $51.54, multi-entry. I already visited Vietnam 1.5 years ago on a 30 day visa. Not sure if that played a role, but the approval for the 3 month visa was super easy. All done online. Same website as the 30 day visa, and as mentioned in this video. I applied on a Sunday online, got a message on Tuesday that my name did not match on the passport, so I corrected my middle name (there is no middle name - you have to know if it's part of Given name or Surname ), and it was fully approved by Thursday without further questions.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

[@Flagship7]

Why can't they follow Thailand and make it easy for tourists.

[@travellingtascha]

Because they don’t want to inflate prices. Foreigners make the prices go up.

[@JamesFarley99]

Thailand is WAY more difficult if you wanna stay longer than 30 days. You have to spend a WHOLE day at immigration and pay 60$ for 30 extra days. Vietnam is all online and you get 90 days for 50$ - no waiting in lines all day. But you’re correct, 30 days or less is easier in Thailand.

As of now no limit to how many tourist visas you can use

@@TravisTravelsVN Thanks Travis.

[@whatsthefarq]

Thanks a lot.Very good information with minute details especially on the point of entry/ exit and on the validity of the visa approval, duration of stay which ends on the validity date mentioned on the e Visa unlike other countries where the duration of stay is counted from the date of entry as long as the tourist enters before the validity date of visa.I have lost 5 days out of 30 days due to arriving late.😞 Was in a dilemma whether a new application has to be made after leaving Vietnam or can be done while the current visa is active and while still remaining in Vietnam- you have answered it and now going to try my luck by applying a 90 days one. 🙂

My daughter and I are going to Vietnam in October. After completing and paying for the e-visa, we both received an email message saying our names were incorrect. We are American, and typically only type our first names when asked for "given" name.

If my 3 month tourist visa ends on September 15th, and I want to do a border run, when should I apply for another 3 month tourist visa (can I apply before the first one ends)? And when I do apply for it, should the first day of this new visa be September 15th so that I can just come right back, or should it be a day or two after that? Thank you so much! Great content!

[@TravisTravelsVN]

You can apply for the new visa until you have left the country. Then you would need to wait 3-4 days for the new visa to process. If you want to come back the same day you need to pay a visa agent to get it processed express. Send me an email if you want me to connect you with the agent.

I have been to Vietnam many times from uk and normally stay 90 days I have always found that the number of days on your visa 30 or 90 the number of days is always 30 or 90 and as long as you enter within the start and finish day of you visa you do not loose days if you arrive after the start date

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Hi Peter, have you been to Vietnam recently? Lately, many rules are changing. Now when you are issued a visa it has a set start and end date. So if you enter the country later than the start date, the end date is still the same. So in that case you would have less than 30 days. With the new change to 90 days maybe it will be different.

[@peterblue6711]

Hello I was in Vietnam in April and when I entered the country in Hanoi airport they definatly added30 days onto the day I entered and not from when my visa start date was. Which was 5 days before I arrived in Hanoi I think the authorities in Hanoi are better than some of the other entry points I have used Ho chi min being the worst

[@danforthrhodes8960]

You don't lose days if you arrive later? If you arrive 10 days after your visa start date then you will only have 80 days remaining on your visa. The end date on your visa is set in stone and does not automatically get extended if you start your visa later than you requested.

Secondly, Vietnam wants more tourists. They added the 90 day for that main reason; however, if COVID becomes a problem again then restrictions could develop. I recommend travelers to always check the Vietnam government website for updates AND USA State Department's website for Vietnam will also have updates. Don't rely on KZbin or travel agents or the airlines for up to date information. Use KZbin as a secondary resource but not a primary. Remember to allow 1-2 weeks renew your Evisa later and don't wait until 3-5 days out in case there are unforseen problems.

[@rd7911]

Can you arrive in Vietnam on the same day your Visa is approved ? thanks.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Yes, if the visa entry date is also the date approved. The visa might get approved but for an entry date some time in the future. Always double check the dates on the visa

Hi our flight is on Dec 20th (within 2 days) from India to Hanoi via Vietjet airlines. We have a transit at Ho Chi Minh. Now we just want to know where would be the immigration will it be on Ho Chi Minh during transit or it will be on Hanoi. P.S: We have given the entry port as Hanoi Airport in our Visa.

[@TravisTravelsVN]

You will go through immigration in HCM. Then transfer to domestic terminal to fly to Hanoi. You shouldn't have any problem in HCM even though the entry point is different. Enjoy your trip!

[@vikicuil]

@@TravisTravelsVN Thanks for your response :) am little concerned since I read in many posts saying the entry port should be correct and they ll deny boarding :/

Any problems with payment process with visa credit card on the website?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Some people have problems with that payment section. You can try waiting a few hours, use a different browser. Make sure you hit the button three times like I mentioned in the video

[@arabdigitalnomads]

I am from Turkey, my country not in the list you shared. If I apply does it mean my visa will be denied?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

The rules just updated on Aug 15, all nationalities can apply for e visa now.

[@arabdigitalnomads]

Thank you for your reply, I applied on 15th august through the official link, after a day they send me that my passport copy was not clear, I send a reply with better passport page. I tried after to track my application and I can see no records. Nor I got a reply from them. The 3 working days after sending paper is passed

[@DSJ2522]

Question and this may be a dumb one. If you have a multi entry visa, is there a time period in which you can enter and exit. For example: if I go to Vietnam for a week, hop over to Malaysia for a week, and then come back to Vietnam for a few days before going home, would the frequency of coming and going in such a short window be a problem?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

If you have multiple entry, you can come and go anytime within the window of the visa

[@TravisTravelsVN]

If your baby has a passport you must apply for a visa

[@vanle4399]

Thank you, that was helpful. But can I do multi entry during the 3 months validity of the tourist visa? Or do I have to apply for multi entry visa?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

You have to apply for multi entry beforehand. The visa will be issued single or multiple and can not be changed once the visa is issued.

[@markmate7893]

Hi! Thanks for the info, it was really useful and informative. I do have two questions though. I see on the application form that I need to give the details of my "intended temporary residence". In case I just wanna travel around the country during those 3 months, is that enough if I just write down the address of the very first accommodation? The other question: if someone has multiple nationalities will they have to fill out this form twice with all the necessary passport info etc. or they only need to give the name of the other country they are a citizen of? Thanks a lot!

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Yes to the first question, the address of your first stay will be fine. On the new application there is a specific question about multiple passports. They will ask if you have ever come in on a different passport. You may just have to write the number of your other passport but I don't think it will be a big issue for you.

[@markmate7893]

@@TravisTravelsVN thanks!

[@danforthrhodes8960]

I believe the government wants to know if you have multiple passports because some people try to trick the government if they get banned on one passport by using a different passport.

[@rambler7903]

Thanks for very good quality information. If the intended exit point was mentioned Ho Chi Minh at the time of applying eVisa, is it possible to exit from any exit point ?

The system was very buggy the first few days. I applied Aug 15, and got approved Aug 22. The exit point is not important.

I believe you only need single entry visa, apply the same as usual. Some cruise ships organize visas for you. Did they tell you that you need to apply visa yourself?

You didn’t mention Cambodia. Take the bus to the border and pay for the VISA there and get it done n 10 minutes or less. Thailand/Lao 🤭🤭🤭???

Cambodia is a good option for those in the South/HCM. Central and Northern Vietnam mostly makes sense to do Laos or Thailand

Your video is very helpful. My family and i are planning to travel to viet around oct 25. When should we apply for the e visa? We will be buying our tickets before we get our evisa, sounds right?

[@TravisTravelsVN]

Yes whenever you have a general date in mind you might as well apply for the visas. Especially now it can take a week or two if there are any issues and if you are applying for multiple people there is more of a chance of some minor error with the application process. Good luck!

Guys need help! I have 3 Given Names in my Indian passport and no surname. Please advise me to enter the same in the surname and given name section. Appreciate

I think don't enter the same information twice. It should be the same as the ICAO line in your passport? Maybe leave your surname blank if no surname in your passport. I would try that first and after a few days they might send you an email to update. If that doesn't work I would put your first two names in given and third name in surname box

[@TravisTravelsVN]

You should check with the cruise company. Since you will only be in Vietnam a short period of time, most countries have a visa exemption. Some cruise companies may charge a fee to do the paperwork for you. And depending on your nationality you may need to apply for e visa ahead of time.

i mean would there be an issue if I am entering the country using my Irish passport and then showing my british one to be be visa-exempt

I'm not positive, but I think your visa will have to be the same as your flight. They will check your visa when you check in for the flight, and the passport numbers must match

[@DarrachMilne]

@@TravisTravelsVN Thanks for the response. I've just found this quote on a visa-help website: 'It is also important to remember that if a traveler applies for a visa, they will have to register their passport details. The same passport must then be used to enter the destination country.' So I'm just going to pay the $25 - better safe than sorry! I should've checked before I booked the flight but I assumed same rules would apply to Irish passports! Thanks again!
