Hi Lan, Thank you for your answer below. Apologies for so many questions in advance! Should I apply for a new multi entry visa before I depart for Vietnam, Will that impact my current visa? Or Is it possible to apply for another single entry visa once I’m in Vietnam? Or can I change my single entry visa to multi entry once I’m in Vietnam. I’m concerned about the overlapping dates as well (my current single entry visa is from 23rd September to 15th October and the new visa I need for my flight back from Cambodia is for the 13th of October). Or should I only apply for the new visa once I’ve left Vietnam?

Hi there! I applied for my e-visa to Vietnam and got it from 23rd September to 15th of October. It is a single entry visa. I plan to fly out to Cambodia for a week (6th of October 13th of October) and fly back to Australia on the early morning of 13th. The issue is that my flight will be visa Ho Chi Minh City and I have a connecting flight which requires me to self check in at Ho Chi Minh City as it’s two separate airlines. I can t tell if I’ll be allow to do that or do I need to apply for another visa? Are you able to advise on that? I’m about to fly to Vietnam so I do t want to re-apply for the visa and risk my existing e-visa becoming invalid. Should I apply of another single entry visa when I get to Vietnam or even a multi entry? I know once a visa is issued it can’t be modified so please helo me understand what my options are.

I am an Australian passport holder that recently applied for an E-Visa through the official website last minute.

Hello,

my friend and i recently applied for e-visas online through the https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/ website. It has been 4 days since we applied for the visa and we are yet to hear back, we recently realised we put Hanoi in as the place we are staying rather than the exact hostel we will be staying at. Therefore we think our visas may be denied and we will need to change the information, but we will be arriving on the 14th of april so we won’t have much time to get them re approved before arriving. We are getting a little bit worried that they won’t arrive in time and that we won’t be let onto our non refundable flight. I was looking for your help and if you have any advice on what we should do?

Kind regards,

Zalia Sprott

We are a family of 3 from Canada (ages 8-76). We were in Vietnam then came to Cambodia for 3 days. We did not realize evisa was only single entry so missed our flight back to Hanoi today.

Thank you for any information. If there is any way to get a visa approved on the weekend, Sunday, please let me know.

Thank you,

Trevor Lake
