The e-visa lists the entry gate you selected, and the safest choice is to enter through that gate. Many travelers report entering at another approved airport without trouble, but we cannot promise it, and airlines may check the visa at check-in.

If you will enter somewhere else, you have two options. You can apply for a new e-visa with the right gate, which costs a new government fee. Or you can ask the Immigration Department whether your visa can be used at the other gate before you book non-refundable flights.

The e-visa system accepts a long list of entry points, with 15 international airports among them, so a regular route such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or Da Nang is covered. Our Vietnam e-visa guide explains how to choose the gate.

If you are flying soon, apply for a new e-visa with the correct gate, or use urgent delivery. VietnamVisa.com is a private visa agency, not a government website. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25 (single entry) or US$50 (multiple entry).
