Key Rules About Entry Points on Your eVisa Application
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I have to enter through the exact point I selected on my application? | As of 2026, you may enter through any of the 83 designated eVisa entry points even if it differs from the one selected on your application. However, verify this is still current policy before travel. |
| Can I exit through a different point than I entered? | Yes. Your eVisa is valid for entry and exit at any of the 83 designated checkpoints, and your exit point does not need to match your entry point. |
| What if my entry point is not on the eVisa list? | You will be refused entry. Only the 83 officially designated checkpoints accept eVisa. Verify your crossing before travel. |
| Can I cross a land border not on the list? | No. There are many smaller border crossings between Vietnam and its neighbours that do not accept eVisa. Only the 27 listed gates are valid. |
| Do I need a digital arrival card for all airports? | Currently required at Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City) from April 2026. Being extended to Noi Bai and Da Nang - check current requirements before travel. |
Practical tip when applying: If you are unsure which specific entry point to select on your application, choosing one of the major international airports (Noi Bai - Hanoi or Tan Son Nhat - Ho Chi Minh City) is always safe. As of 2026 you are not strictly bound to the entry point listed on your eVisa, but selecting a major hub avoids any ambiguity at immigration.
