Can I enter Vietnam earlier than the granted date in my approval letter?

Posted by Vietnam-Evisa.Org on Sep 21, 2013

- The answer is No, you are unable to enter Vietnam earlier than the date which state on your Vietnam visa approval letter. In this case, you must inform us then you need to pay the extra fee to process a new Visa with your correct arrival date.

- If you worry about this case, please do not hesitate to call us or email us, we will support you right away.

    Vietnam eVisa delay

    Sep 13, 2024
    I’m Zimbabwean. I applied for my visa on the 26th of August and the entry date on the application is 15 September. My question is, if I don’t get the visa before the 15th will the application still be valid?
    Say it gets approved after the 15th will the entry date still say 15 or will they change it ?

    Dear Sandra,

    Thank you for reaching us.

    We have checked your email address and could not see it on our system. You did not apply with us, so we cannot help you check your Visa status.

    In case you put the entry date on the application form is 15 Septmeber, Your E-Visa when it is issued will valid from 15 September.

    When your E-Visa is issued, if it is still valid, you can use it to enter Vietnam but have to leave Vietnam before the exit date specified on it.

    Best regards,

    Heidi Phan (Ms.)

    Dear Yakshit Jain,

    Thanks for your question!

    Yes, the entry date on your approval letter is correct. As long as you arrive in Vietnam on Feb/05, it is OK

    Wrong entry date on Immigration Approval Letter

    Apr 28, 2018
    I had requested entry on 5th May. My flight is arriving on 9th May, however my approval letter says the date approved for entry is 10th May, just one day after my arrival date. Do I need to re-apply? If yes than how much time will the new approval take. It seems I have just 4 business working days for re-application.

    Dear Samruddhi Kamble

    Did you apply with us? Please advise us your application ID to check

    Otherwise, in case your visa is only valid from May/10, you cannot arrive earlier on May/09. So, you need to re apply for a new visa

    Kind regrads,

    Wrong date entry on e visa

    Feb 27, 2018
    When we requested our visas we asked for February 25 through March 25. We printed them out and did not realize that the dates were March 25 through April 25 until we were being refused entry at the Vietnamese border. What is the easiest way to change these dates?
