My e-visa shows my middle name first and then my first name. Is that correct?

Fill in each field by its label, with the family name in the surname field and the given and middle names in their own fields. The visa then prints your name in a fixed order that may look odd, for example with a middle name first.

What matters is that the letters match your passport, not the order printed on the visa. Compare the spelling, accents and order of names on the visa against your passport data page. If all letters match, the visa is fine.

Problems arise when the family name is entered in the given-name field, or when two names are merged or dropped. Immigration compares the visa data with your passport at the border.

If you think there is a real mismatch, check the status on evisa.gov.vn. If a correction is needed, you may have to apply again. Our e-visa guide shows each field on the form.
