Do I need to update my e-visa if I change my hotel in Vietnam?

No, you normally do not need to update your e-visa when you change hotels. The address on the visa is the place you gave as your intended stay, and travelers regularly move between cities during a trip.

What matters at the border is the entry gate and the dates. Your hotel address is also used by hotels to register you with local police, and the arrival card asks for your first address. Use the address you really expect to use when you file the digital arrival card.

We cannot promise how every officer treats it, so keep your hotel booking handy. If you are asked, show where you will stay on your first night.

If the address on the visa is obviously wrong, such as a different city from your plan, you can apply for a new e-visa. See our e-visa guide for details about the form.
