Use a designated e-visa border gate
Vietnam permits e-visa entry and exit through designated international airports, land crossings and seaports. The government expanded its list in December 2025, including some airports that are subject to becoming operational. Use the current portal list rather than assuming every listed future facility is open.
Arriving by air
Match the airport shown on your ticket to the entry-point options on the live e-visa application. Check the actual first international arrival in Vietnam if your journey includes a domestic connection. A city name and an airport’s official immigration name may be different.
Crossing by land or arriving by sea
Ask your transport operator for the precise border-gate or seaport name. Compare it with the official list before submitting an application or buying a fixed itinerary. A border being open for some travellers does not by itself establish that e-visas are accepted there.
Entry-point checklist
- Identify the exact arrival airport, land border gate or seaport.
- Check that the facility is operating and included in the current official list.
- Review your e-visa’s dates and entry conditions alongside your ticket.
- Recheck the route if a flight, cruise or overland connection changes.
- Ask the official immigration channel about any mismatch before departure.
Have your arrival and exit points ready?
If your trip needs an e-visa, enter your travel dates and select the border crossings for your itinerary in the application.
If your itinerary changes
Do not assume that a different arrival point, travel date or route is automatically covered. Review the approved document and the portal’s current instructions. If the change is material, obtain case-specific guidance before travel rather than relying on an old online list.
