What is the start date of the Vietnam eVisa?

The validity of the Vietnam eVisa starts on the expected entry date the applicant mentions in the Vietnam Evisa application form. You can enter Vietnam on any date within this validity period. However, you cannot enter before or after the specified entry date.

For instance, if your eVisa states an entry date of May 12, 2025, you may enter Vietnam on that day or any day thereafter, but not before May 12. The eVisa remains valid until the exit date indicated in the document.

If you need to adjust your entry date, you must apply for a new eVisa, as the previous one will be canceled upon issuance of the new one .
