Airports, land borders and seaports
Vietnam authorizes specific checkpoints for electronic-visa use. The correct choice depends on whether the traveler arrives by air, crosses a land border or enters by sea.
How to choose the checkpoint
Use the first place where the traveler completes Vietnamese immigration, not necessarily the final domestic destination. For a connecting itinerary, identify where passport control occurs.
What if the itinerary changes?
Check whether the approved visa and current rules support the new checkpoint. Do not rely on an airline or booking-platform label as the only source of entry information.
Frequently asked questions
Can I enter through any Vietnamese airport?
No. Use a checkpoint permitted under the current eVisa rules and compatible with the issued visa.
Is my domestic airport the entry port?
The entry port is generally where Vietnamese immigration is completed, which may be an earlier international connection point.
Where is the official list?
Consult the current Vietnam Immigration Department electronic-visa portal and instructions.
