What you need
- Passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date, with at least 2 blank pages
- A clear passport-style photo (white background, no glasses)
- A scan or photo of your passport information page
- Your planned arrival date and entry airport or border gate (see all e-visa airports)
Common mistakes I fix for New Zealand applicants
- Assuming visa-free entry: New Zealand is not on Vietnam's visa-exempt list, so you need an e-visa.
- Middle names missing or given names in the wrong order.
- Wrong entry port: applying for Ho Chi Minh City but landing in Hanoi or Da Nang.
- Visa dates too short for the whole trip, including side trips to Cambodia or Laos and back.
Why apply with Paul instead of the official portal?
You can apply yourself on the official website evisa.gov.vn. Use me if you want a real person to check everything, a reply within an hour on WhatsApp, urgent processing, or help when an application is stuck.
