    2nd e-visa

    Apr 07, 2023
    Hello, I currently have a e-visa being processed for approval however my plans have suddenly changed and I may not be entering Vietnam in within the dates on the application. Can I apply for a second e -visa with different dates and use that one instead? Thank you

    Apr 10, 2023

    Dear Joseph L,

    Thanks for your attention on our website.
    The validity period of your e-Visa begins from the date specified in your approved e-Visa document. You can enter Vietnam on any date within this validity period. But you must leave by the Exit date specified on your E-Visa
    You cannot enter Vietnam before or after the validity period specified in your e-Visa. if you want to enter Vietnam before or after the validity period, you have to apply for the new E-Visa.

    Or you can enter Vietnam for 15 days on Visa exemption with your valid UK passport.


    Best Regards,
