A spelling error in the name is a serious problem, because immigration and airlines match the visa to your passport. Do not travel hoping nobody will notice.
Your options are:
- Apply again with the right spelling. This is the fastest and most reliable way, and it needs a new government fee.
- Contact the Immigration Department through the support section of evisa.gov.vn and ask whether they can correct the record. This can take time.
Check whether the difference is small, such as the order of names, which can be a format question. If a letter is wrong, a new application is safer.
If you are close to flying, apply for a new e-visa with an urgent speed. We check the details against your passport before submitting, so a name error is caught early. 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).
