Do I need to print my e-visa or is a digital copy accepted for check-in and immigration?
I have only a digital copy of my e-visa. Will that stop me boarding in Brisbane?

A digital copy is often accepted, but a printed copy is the safe choice. Some airlines and airport staff still ask for paper, and a phone with a flat battery leaves you with nothing.
Print one copy of your e-visa and keep another on your phone, saved offline. If you have no printer, ask your hotel, a print shop or the airline desk to print it. Do the same for the arrival card QR code.
Your e-visa is also a PDF, so you can open it from the email you received without a signal. Save it to your phone files, not only in your inbox.
You can look up your visa on evisa.gov.vn with your registration code, which helps if you lose the PDF. If you apply with us, the PDF is sent by email, and you can track your application.
