Hey Travis, great step by step eVisa application process. It really helped me for my last trip. A tip for your viewers; When answering the question “Intended temporary residential address in VN” my application got rejected because I only entered the Name of the Hotel in Da Nang. They wanted the full address of where you’re going to be staying at. It may depend on who’s approving your application but I would not take any chances of just entering the general area or name of hotel only. Lots of hassle and time consuming after your application is rejected. Don’t make the mistake I did.
Very helpful. I received my evisa today for 90 days with multiple entries. Your explainations were helpful. Thanks. I booked my plane ticket with Eva Airways. I am ready to leave in early January.
Well done DIY video 💥👊🏼 Their evisa process is a huge problem for tourists to Viet Nam. The country is lagging behind the rest of Southeast Asia in tourism and this process is definitely a contributing factor.
Travis thanks for all your info. The last time I applied for a visa I could not pay with 4 separate Visa cards for over a week. I used my friend's master card and no problem first time. I just wanted to let people know that if you're having problems you are not alone. Thanks for all you recommendations, especially the food in Danang. I took my first trip to Vietnam last February and can't wait to get out of Thailand and get back there. on October 4th my family off for a two week trip to Ninh Binh, Cat Ba and then Cao Bang for the last week. I am also back in Danang over new years and then back to Danang for a few months starting in February. I am so impressed with Vietnam and would love to trade my Thailand retirement to Vietnam. I owe you and your girl a nice dinner for all the help and will try to make good on that promise sometime next year. thanks agian David
I could not pay for the tourist visa application over several days with two credit cards. The most annoying thing was that if your payment fails you have to make a brand new application. I had to apply for two people we just gave up and went to Thailand instead. The visa process in Vietnam is truly the most incompetent
Thanks for this video! I followed your guidance and got my and my follower traveler's visas approved on the first go. We're entering on a Mekong cruise so I entered the boat name as the first location in VN, along with the district for the first stop. Maybe we got lucky with the reviewer, but it helps that we're on an organized tour with a company based in the US.
Thanks a lot Travis! This Video helped a lot in our Visa applications today. During my application, Amex payment failed, so I had to fill the whole thing again and payment was successful in the next time. Wife's payment through amex was successful in the first go
Glad it worked out. Not too much rhyme or reason, sometimes the site doesn't work sometimes it does. You can check out my travel group if I can help you plan anything for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Thank you so much for the tips! I used my passport photo and got denied the first time around. I did what you recommended and uploaded the same exact image the second time around and behold it got approved lol. It took six business days to get my visa approved so they really do uphold the 3 day turn around time :)
Glad it worked out. If you're coming to Vietnam soon check out my travel group, it will be very helpful for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Great and informative visa application video, Travis. I am planning to visit Vietnam in December for the first time. I was going to have a travel agency do the application for me, but after watching your video, I will try to do it on my own first. Keep up your videos on travels to Vietnam. It is extremely helpful for travelers such as myself. You gained a new subscriber. All the best.
Happy to hear it was helpful. Please join my travel group. We answer a lot of questions there and it will be useful for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Glad to have you buddy. I've got a travel group I'd like to invite you to join. It will be really helpful for planning your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Also a good idea to check all the info on the evisa when it's approved, which you should carry as a paper copy with you. I didn't notice my date of birth was wrong on my evisa, their mistake, I'm pretty sure I had it right. It wasn't noticed by the airline I flew in with or immigration. But when I left Thailand after a week away AirAsia at Bangkok noticed it didn't match my passport and said I couldn't fly as is! But they phoned Vietnam Immgration and got it ok'd. So that was a bit stressy!
Great video seems like an easy enough process, you may want to redact a little more info though. A few of the screens showed passport and phone number.
I used your last video to apply and was approved on the first try! Even though I don't need this video this time, I still enjoyed watching it! I watched probably 10 videos, and yours is the best. Keep up the great work. Coming to Vietnam Thursday 9/26. Maybe you can do a video on going through the airport or tips on dealing with the long flgith? I've been reading about Saigon airport and some people say they have to give a little to get through faster but maybe only if you are viet? I think I might get a line service to get through leaving, but I'll be coming in at night and hopefully wont take long. Thanks!
Hey thanks very much for the comment. Yes the fast track service is available for about $25. But if it's a late flight it probably won't be too bad. Please check out a travel group I started, it should be helpful for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Be sure about your port of entry, you indicated Da Nang, but there are very few direct flights to Da Nang from outside the country. Most flights to smaller airports in Vietnam go via City hubs, so you go through immigration at the first landing point, not your final destination.
im going next week, and had initial denial for missing middle names on mine and wife. because it says FIRST name ... they just need to be specific .. fixed it up afterwards and was approved.
If you used your old photo and the immigration officers realised it is the same old picture, you did not send a recent photo as specified. Australia has certain technical specifications, so I have mine taken in an Australian Post Office to ensure the picture complies. A phone picture may not be acceptable, just as a home printed photo may not comply.
You are absolutely right Bob. Usually they will deny the application if you use the same photo. By the way if you're coming soon you should join my travel group. It will be helpful for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
@@TravisTravelsVN Thank you. Is the $50 multiple entry visa only valid for 3 months? I have a US passport & wanted to apply for a 1 year multi-entry visa but I didn’t see that option…
I have applied 2nd September 2024 and till not get visa. 10 times i have edit as per their denied reasons like passport is not clear, temporary residence address, contact number etc. How can i get e-visa
Hi Travis, I'm travelling to Danang next February and have been checking out a lot of your stuff here. I come from a small country town in Australia, where there's really no culture or expectations for tipping etc. Can you do a video on tipping in Danang? I would like to have some info regarding this to ensure that I am being respectful and reasonable to all types of business employees when I am there.
Last year I was denied for mistakes, corrected them, resubmitted and denied again. Everything was fine, I made no changes, and resubmitted again. It was accepted. Comb through and make sure everything is ok and just keep sending the same one. If it’s the pictures then retake and resubmitt
Very helpful Travis!! If you plan on staying long term in Vietnam, can you do a border run to get another 90 days? Did you do a video on this? Thank you!
Thanks for this most useful video - quick question - do I need to bring the physical photographs with me to Vietnam and present them to the immigration officials in addition to the evisa printout? If so, how many of these photos do I need to bring and are they surrendered to them? I'm asking because if I need to do this for other countries I'm visiting like Cambodia and Indonesia, I'll need to bring a whole bunch of physical photos.
nope you just need the evisa printout. Check out my travel group I've got a lot of information there will be helpful for your trip www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about
Thanks But please are there any black listed nationalities for this evisa. As some folks claim blacklisted nationalities will not be able to apply excite they apply using an agent which is more expensive Thanks
I screwed up in “other passports used” I thought it meant if you had multiple passports in different countries, where it meant expired passports. Why would you need that info? They never gave me feedback even after emailing them and 3 failed attempts. I missed my flight and ended up paying for an expensive emergency visa at an agency. Their instructions and directions are not clear. And having denial feedback is essential.
I'm fyling to Da Nang but first I have a layover in Ho chi Minh for a couple of hours before my flight from Ho Chi Minh to Da Nang. Which airport do you recommend I put as my port of entry?
Hi Travis, thank you so much for your video! I applied for the visa this week, on the 7th. It has been 3 business days now, and my visa hasn’t been approved yet; it still says it’s processing. I have a flight tomorrow to Da Nang. I’m Brazilian and would like to know if you could help me in any way. May I contact you to check if there’s a way to speed up this process? Thank you so much!
When you are requested to update the information you will get an email and you can follow the links to login and submit new information. I just took another photo on my phone, uploaded and it was approved.
Sup g. Created the application. Went to pay and come up payment failed please recreate account and try again. Created a new application but would let me use same email because it already exists in the system from my first try now going to try with a different email. Any advice on this homie?
Lots of people getting this error. If you wait a day and start over it will probably work. If you want an agent to do it for you he only charges $15 USD. Send me an email if you want me to connect you. Travis.Carrasquillo@gmail.com
Hello, great video and thanks for breaking it down. Will be applying for mine soon. Question about layovers. I am traveling to Vietnam from Dec 11 to 23 then off to my next destination. But, in Jan I will be flying from Laos to Bali but it has a 10 hour layover back in vietnam. Do i still need a visa since im going back to vietnam for the night?
If you plan to leave the airport and enter VN during the layover you will need a multiple entry visa for $50 instead of $25 dollars. Otherwise you can stay in the airport without a different visa. Check out my group should be helpful for your upcoming trip www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Hi Travis, great instructive video! Could you also describe the process when landing at a Vietnam Airport. Do you have to go to the Immigration counter, fill out further form/s and provide additional photos and pay again or, line up in the passport checking lines with a copy of the eVisa approval in your passport. My previous experience when arriving at Ho Chi Min Airport, after getting eVisa approval, was having to go through the stressful process of the additional forms and payment.
Its not bad getting through, just need your passport and printed E visa. HCM can usually have some crazy lines but no additional forms or payments. Check out my travel group, we answer a lot of questions there. This is a good one I'll add in the group. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Is anyone having trouble with your passport and photo not even uploading to the review page? Tried shrinking down to 50mb for Photo and 200mb for Passport, tried converting to JPG with a converter, tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Photo worked one attempt and never again after, this is nuts.
Those sizes are still huge for jpeg. Keep me updated if you've had any success. If your having trouble still I can connect you with a visa agent to do it for you.
Hi Travis! Extremely helpful video. I got an email from the immigration department which says STATUS- AMENDING "please fill in Vietnamese company/travel agency (in detail) that you contact when you enter viet nam". However I'm not sure what to amend here since you said it's not necessary. Any suggestions would be appreciated
@TravisTravelsVN thank you! Another thing, please, when they sent you that email asking you to send another passport photo, did you have to pay again? Or did you just have to send the (worse) photo via email and no additional payment was required? 😅
Some things like travel insurance won't have a star, but might get rejected if you don't fill it out. You should fill out everything possible except for tour agency information assuming you are not with any tour group
I'm going to Vietnam with my 3 kids but I am only able to add 2 kids to my evisa application. I did a separate evisa application for my 9 year old. was this the correct thing to do? also, i got an email saying it was returned and needed to be amended since my photos were incorrect but it doesnt allow me to edit my application... what do I do?
Sorry for the confusion. Every child needs a passport and separate visa application. In the email, there should be a link to login with your email and registration number to "ammend" you should not add anything to the "children under 14" section. Join my travel group, you can message me directly there and I can make sure you get it sorted out. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
So for the insurance, you mentioned that just put "yes". I read somewhere if you put yes, you will need to show proof/evidence of medical or travel insurance. Is this true?
I just applied through the embassy in Washington and they mailed me a loose leaf paper slip with my photo on it and staple it inside my passport on blank visa page (both pages were blank).
Can you tell me more. I've actually never heard of anyone doing it this way. You should have a visa paper with all your information and entry/exit dates etc.
Thanks for the instructions! Are you sure port of entry is not important? I'm in China right now and got the idea I want to cross the border over land via Pinxiang, but I filled in entry via Hanoi airport. I prefer public transport more over flying, but somehow I fear they will be more suspicious of land crossings 😅 What'd you think? Worth risking it?
Changing from airport to land border could be a problem. I would choose the correct land border. There is a new website as of today Nov 11. Evisa.gov.vn I'm uploading a new video with details in a few minutes
When going to multiple different cities in Vietnam and staying at multiple hotels how do you put that on the location or address that they’re asking for
Hey Travis do I hit my EVisa on my first try but now o don’t know what to do with it. I printed out a hard copy for when I arrive but do they have my EVisa on file at the hcmc airport when I arrive? I’m kinda confused on this part.
just show up with the visa and your passport. You will have to show it when you are getting your boarding pass to fly in and again when you arrive you will go through the immigration line and show the officer. Just keep the hard copy with you and you'll be fine
Hey Wondering if you can help us get through the ap process, I answered the question "Have you been to Vietnam in the past year as YES. We were there in Jan 2024 for 2 days on a cruise and noted this. We keep getting a messages stating that we have to LEAVE Vietnam first before applying for a Visa, I checked the dates, mine was wrong, husband's was right, so I resubmitted with correct date however we keep getting the same messages to leave Vietnam first!!
So what happens with the question about visiting before in last year if you're doing a border run? You put yes but will they deny entry if it's only a day ago?
Hi - Again. I see I am supposed to enter a Vietnamese phone number. I had figured on taking care of that when I got there. I see you had a phone number listed, but didn't say anything about the necessity or lack thereof. Will I be okay without a phone number?
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm having phone number issues. The Vietnamese phone number for my hotel is being accepted, but they also want a US contact number. I've tried entering it several times and it keeps saying, "Only latin characters allowed." I've eliminated the spaces and dashes even the necessary + in front of the country code and it still says the same thing. Wish I could attach a screen shot of it. What do they want!!!!
Well explained Travis but how do you go about getting the 45 visa on arrival to Vietnam for British citizens.I hear you can't get it on landing at the airport
Hi Travis Thank you for this informative video, so i applied yesterday for the single entry and i put my intended date as the beginning of march to ending of march (29) but remembered that i have a work trip and would like to change my intended date of entry now, is that possible?
Both new websites do not load. The old website seems to work fine. Any update about the new websites not working? I did not submit anything yet to check if i can apply for an E-visa.
Hello Travis and thanks for the video. I am currently in Vietnam. I would like to leave Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh. But I had indicated on my VISA application that I would leave from Da Nang. Do you think I could have problems if I leave the country from Ho Chi Minh airport? Thanks
Hi Travis, so when your process was put on hold for low quality photo and since you had to fix it, were you asked to pay the fee again? Because there is a confusion that if your visa gets denied you have to again start all the process and pay another $25. Can you please help ?
Do I need to add new residency addresses if i put the first hotel I'm staying at and then hop around the country? I want to fly into Saigon then, fly up to Da Nang and take a side trip to Hoi An then go back in to Saigon for the last week 3 weeks total.
@@TravisTravelsVN hi again Travis. My evisa was approved but there is a little problem. My evisa expires Jan31,2025 but my flight out of Vietnam is Feb 1,2025? Is it a big problem checking in and can be denied ? Or should i apply again?
Use the number of the first hotel you will stay at. Look it up on google. If you need any help I've got a travel group with tons of information to help with your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about
Damn, my other visa-free passport expired, i need apply for a visa now. How's Da Nang weather in beginning of December? Or you could suggest Nha Trang for food, beach and exploration? First time visitor
Hi Travis... QQ - they put in a rule where you have to apply for the visa outside the country... is this still the case or did they change back to allowing you to apply in the country? Thanks 😀
Yes still have to apply from outside the country. You can use a visa agent to get it approved in a few hours and return the same day. Send me a message if you need any help
Hi Travis, I have been to Vietnam long time ago and that passport had expired. Unfortunately, I can't remember the expired passport number. So what do I do to that question? Do I answer YES or NO to that question?
If your application requires amendments like 10 times just an example, can it actually still get approved? If you eventually fix when they need you to? Last question for a child that’s 11months old would they need a separate application or can we include them in the mothers application

Not seeing any of the links you promised, only a sales commission ad for insurance??

Hi Travis, thank you so much for your video! I applied for the visa this week, on the 7th. It has been 3 business days now, and my visa hasn’t been approved yet; it still says it’s processing. I have a flight tomorrow to Da Nang. I’m Brazilian and would like to know if you could help me in any way. May I contact you to check if there’s a way to speed up this process? Thank you so much!
Mê nha😊😊chào mừng bạn
Great video Travis! I needed to ask if someone doesn’t have health insurance? Will that be a problem?
You should still write in "travel insurance" but they will not check for proof of insurance
Thanks for this excellent video, what did you do to upload back the better quality photo/Passport photo? where did you upload it? thank you.
When you are requested to update the information you will get an email and you can follow the links to login and submit new information. I just took another photo on my phone, uploaded and it was approved.
@@TravisTravelsVN Thank you
Did you have to pay again ?
I wore make-up for my photo, is that okay or not?
Sup g. Created the application. Went to pay and come up payment failed please recreate account and try again. Created a new application but would let me use same email because it already exists in the system from my first try now going to try with a different email. Any advice on this homie?
Lots of people getting this error. If you wait a day and start over it will probably work. If you want an agent to do it for you he only charges $15 USD. Send me an email if you want me to connect you. Travis.Carrasquillo@gmail.com
Hello, great video and thanks for breaking it down. Will be applying for mine soon. Question about layovers. I am traveling to Vietnam from Dec 11 to 23 then off to my next destination. But, in Jan I will be flying from Laos to Bali but it has a 10 hour layover back in vietnam. Do i still need a visa since im going back to vietnam for the night?
If you plan to leave the airport and enter VN during the layover you will need a multiple entry visa for $50 instead of $25 dollars. Otherwise you can stay in the airport without a different visa. Check out my group should be helpful for your upcoming trip www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Hi Travis, great instructive video! Could you also describe the process when landing at a Vietnam Airport. Do you have to go to the Immigration counter, fill out further form/s and provide additional photos and pay again or, line up in the passport checking lines with a copy of the eVisa approval in your passport. My previous experience when arriving at Ho Chi Min Airport, after getting eVisa approval, was having to go through the stressful process of the additional forms and payment.
Its not bad getting through, just need your passport and printed E visa. HCM can usually have some crazy lines but no additional forms or payments. Check out my travel group, we answer a lot of questions there. This is a good one I'll add in the group. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
Line up in the passport checking lines. You shouldn't have to go through the visa application twice.
Is anyone having trouble with your passport and photo not even uploading to the review page? Tried shrinking down to 50mb for Photo and 200mb for Passport, tried converting to JPG with a converter, tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Photo worked one attempt and never again after, this is nuts.
Those sizes are still huge for jpeg. Keep me updated if you've had any success. If your having trouble still I can connect you with a visa agent to do it for you.
@@TravisTravelsVN sorry kb*
Hi Travis! Extremely helpful video. I got an email from the immigration department which says STATUS- AMENDING "please fill in Vietnamese company/travel agency (in detail) that you contact when you enter viet nam". However I'm not sure what to amend here since you said it's not necessary. Any suggestions would be appreciated
You can fill in the hotel's information that you will be staying at and select the purpose as a home stay.
Payment failed and have to start all over again according to stupid laws. Wont let just try payment again. So annoying. Just wasted 40 minutes
That is always annoying.
Well done
Please can you let me know if data scientist jobs are in demand ?
Waiting for Evisa for 3 weeks now.. still processing 🤷🏽♂️
Send me an email: Travis.carrasquillo@gmail.com
Helpful video! Any idea if i can i use one email address to apply for an e-visa for 5 individual travelers?
Yes you can use the same email address
@TravisTravelsVN thank you!
Another thing, please, when they sent you that email asking you to send another passport photo, did you have to pay again? Or did you just have to send the (worse) photo via email and no additional payment was required? 😅
you don't need to pay again to ammend any information if you ask. Only if the visa is issued with any incorrect information you will need to re-apply
Thank you. Will the application be rejected if the applicant does not have travel insurance?
I can get to the NYC Vietnam embassy in less than an hour, if you have a good passport is it easier just to go to VN embassy if it is close by?
Just apply online, no need to go the embassy
@@TravisTravelsVN okay, thanks!
Is it necessary to put the information when there‘s no red star on it?
Some things like travel insurance won't have a star, but might get rejected if you don't fill it out. You should fill out everything possible except for tour agency information assuming you are not with any tour group
Thanks for video
Cheers, if you're heading to Vietnam soon check out the travel group, will be useful for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about
I'm going to Vietnam with my 3 kids but I am only able to add 2 kids to my evisa application. I did a separate evisa application for my 9 year old. was this the correct thing to do? also, i got an email saying it was returned and needed to be amended since my photos were incorrect but it doesnt allow me to edit my application... what do I do?
Sorry for the confusion. Every child needs a passport and separate visa application. In the email, there should be a link to login with your email and registration number to "ammend" you should not add anything to the "children under 14" section. Join my travel group, you can message me directly there and I can make sure you get it sorted out. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam-6703/about
If the photo I submitted is not suitable,will they email me to correct it before l leave?
After 3 days processing, if they don't accept the picture they will ask you to upload a new picture. You do not need to pay again
What the website you shared to load pictures for visa?
Thank you for the video. Does anyone know if the entry date must be exact? I was approved before purchasing airplane tickets.
You can enter any time after the approved entry date but the exit date will stay the same
So for the insurance, you mentioned that just put "yes". I read somewhere if you put yes, you will need to show proof/evidence of medical or travel insurance. Is this true?
I just applied through the embassy in Washington and they mailed me a loose leaf paper slip with my photo on it and staple it inside my passport on blank visa page (both pages were blank).
ok but i dont want to do that
Can you tell me more. I've actually never heard of anyone doing it this way. You should have a visa paper with all your information and entry/exit dates etc.
Thanks for the instructions! Are you sure port of entry is not important? I'm in China right now and got the idea I want to cross the border over land via Pinxiang, but I filled in entry via Hanoi airport. I prefer public transport more over flying, but somehow I fear they will be more suspicious of land crossings 😅 What'd you think? Worth risking it?
Changing from airport to land border could be a problem. I would choose the correct land border. There is a new website as of today Nov 11. Evisa.gov.vn I'm uploading a new video with details in a few minutes
I put in residential address and then city and then start address goes blank,,, also what is ward... is it my browser
Ward is district.
When going to multiple different cities in Vietnam and staying at multiple hotels how do you put that on the location or address that they’re asking for
Just use the address and phone number for the first hotel you will stay
Hey Travis do I hit my EVisa on my first try but now o don’t know what to do with it. I printed out a hard copy for when I arrive but do they have my EVisa on file at the hcmc airport when I arrive? I’m kinda confused on this part.
just show up with the visa and your passport. You will have to show it when you are getting your boarding pass to fly in and again when you arrive you will go through the immigration line and show the officer. Just keep the hard copy with you and you'll be fine
@ thanks bro
Hi Travis your passport number is not blurred in the approval page at the end
When you got denied for the photo, did you restart a new application or did you upload a new photo on the same application?
Just upload new photo to the same application. The link in the email lets you fix it easily.
Hey Wondering if you can help us get through the ap process, I answered the question "Have you been to Vietnam in the past year as YES. We were there in Jan 2024 for 2 days on a cruise and noted this. We keep getting a messages stating that we have to LEAVE Vietnam first before applying for a Visa, I checked the dates, mine was wrong, husband's was right, so I resubmitted with correct date however we keep getting the same messages to leave Vietnam first!!
Send me an email: Travis.carrasquillo@gmail.com
great video. Did you have to pay again the $25 application fee when they denied the passport photo the first time you submitted ?
no
So what happens with the question about visiting before in last year if you're doing a border run? You put yes but will they deny entry if it's only a day ago?
No, its legal to leave and re-enter as many times as wanted.
Thanks Sir
Hi - Again. I see I am supposed to enter a Vietnamese phone number. I had figured on taking care of that when I got there. I see you had a phone number listed, but didn't say anything about the necessity or lack thereof. Will I be okay without a phone number?
use the phone number of the first hotel you will stay
Travis, can you pay for multiple visa, say 2 weeks prior to your visa expiring, or does it have to be closer to date you’re scheduled to leave.
Oh you spoke on my question. I apologize. The denials, probably have to do with this thing called extra Dongs. Umm!
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm having phone number issues. The Vietnamese phone number for my hotel is being accepted, but they also want a US contact number. I've tried entering it several times and it keeps saying, "Only latin characters allowed." I've eliminated the spaces and dashes even the necessary + in front of the country code and it still says the same thing. Wish I could attach a screen shot of it. What do they want!!!!
Send me an email: travis.carrasquillo@gmail.com
I put no on the travel insurance, will it be a problem. I don’t think I can change it
After 3 days if will come back with a result, it may ask for more information
Well explained Travis but how do you go about getting the 45 visa on arrival to Vietnam for British citizens.I hear you can't get it on landing at the airport
You don't need anything but your passport, you just show up.
@TravisTravelsVN are you sure?
It is visa exemption, no need for anything
Hi Travis Thank you for this informative video, so i applied yesterday for the single entry and i put my intended date as the beginning of march to ending of march (29) but remembered that i have a work trip and would like to change my intended date of entry now, is that possible?
You can change, but you can still enter any time after the granted entry date. But the end date will remain the same
Both new websites do not load. The old website seems to work fine. Any update about the new websites not working? I did not submit anything yet to check if i can apply for an E-visa.
Any luck yet? working for some people now. Join the travel group for updates www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about
what is the earliest you can apply. going in March thinking of applying in January would this be ok ? I'm a Aussie.
It's ok, you are even more well prepared when applying 1 month ahead
Hello Travis and thanks for the video.
I am currently in Vietnam. I would like to leave Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh. But I had indicated on my VISA application that I would leave from Da Nang. Do you think I could have problems if I leave the country from Ho Chi Minh airport?
Thanks
You can leave from any port no problem
@@TravisTravelsVN Thank you Travis ! Good new !!! :)
Hi Travis, so when your process was put on hold for low quality photo and since you had to fix it, were you asked to pay the fee again? Because there is a confusion that if your visa gets denied you have to again start all the process and pay another $25. Can you please help ?
You can amend the application when it is denied without paying again.
Do I need to add new residency addresses if i put the first hotel I'm staying at and then hop around the country? I want to fly into Saigon then, fly up to Da Nang and take a side trip to Hoi An then go back in to Saigon for the last week 3 weeks total.
Nope just the first address you will stay at
Hi Travis, what about the birth year was accidentally wrong? Can i apply another evisa if in case rejected?
Yes you can apply again
@@TravisTravelsVN thank yoy for the reply! Your videos are very helpful
Thanks I appreciate that. I've got a travel group will be helpful for your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about
@@TravisTravelsVN hi again Travis. My evisa was approved but there is a little problem. My evisa expires Jan31,2025 but my flight out of Vietnam is Feb 1,2025? Is it a big problem checking in and can be denied ? Or should i apply again?
Hey mate. Cheers for sharing. May I ask about the time reuired outside the county to extend the 90 day visa?
You can use a visa agent to get the visa same day you leave. Otherwise have to wait 3-4 days for the new visa to process
@@TravisTravelsVN Coolio, coolio, coolio.
Do they ask for your passport number twice, just to mess with you? Sure seems like it.
Yes, identification number is same as passport number
I visited Vietnam some 40 years ago with an old passport, which I no longer have the passport number etc. What can I do?
You don't need to enter anything for that
My family evisa showing editing last 1 week all is I done need ur advice
Hey man, what phone number should I put in the section labeled Phone Number: (in Vietnam)?
Use the number of the first hotel you will stay at. Look it up on google. If you need any help I've got a travel group with tons of information to help with your trip. www.skool.com/travel-vietnam/about
Damn, my other visa-free passport expired, i need apply for a visa now. How's Da Nang weather in beginning of December? Or you could suggest Nha Trang for food, beach and exploration? First time visitor
Da Nang and Nha Trang will both be very rainy in December. Best to wait until Feb if you want to have better chance of good weather.
@@TravisTravelsVNMust be different weather in Da Nang. In the south it's good weather from December.
Hi Travis... QQ - they put in a rule where you have to apply for the visa outside the country... is this still the case or did they change back to allowing you to apply in the country? Thanks 😀
Yes still have to apply from outside the country. You can use a visa agent to get it approved in a few hours and return the same day. Send me a message if you need any help
@@TravisTravelsVNhello I need help to apply for a visa
Hi Travis, I have been to Vietnam long time ago and that passport had expired. Unfortunately, I can't remember the expired passport number. So what do I do to that question? Do I answer YES or NO to that question?
You don't have to enter that for a very old passport
If your application requires amendments like 10 times just an example, can it actually still get approved? If you eventually fix when they need you to?
Last question for a child that’s 11months old would they need a separate application or can we include them in the mothers application
Yes, I've had people fill it out 5-6 times and eventually get it approved. Every child needs a separate application
