Can I enter Vietnam before arrival date on my eVisa?

The Vietnam eVisa is a recent category of visa introduced by the Vietnamese government, aimed at expediting the visa application procedure and bolstering Vietnam's tourism sector. Nationals from qualifying nations can utilize these visas to journey to Vietnam for tourism, visiting family, friends, or standard business engagements. Travelers with intentions other than tourism or business meetings should approach the nearest Vietnamese embassy in their respective home country to pursue a conventional visa application.

The Vietnam E-Visa can be obtained online via the Vietnam Immigration Services website. The procedure usually includes completing an online application form, providing the necessary paperwork, and making the visa payment electronically.

Once the application is accepted, the e-visa will be digitally associated with your passport. You can enter Vietnam through 8 authorized airports and land border crossings with a valid e-visa. The Vietnam eVisa remains effective for 90 days, commencing from the date indicated on your approved eVisa document. During this validity timeframe, you are free to enter Vietnam on any date.
