How to Correct Vietnam Visa Errors

To learn how to correct Vietnam visa errors, first check whether the e-visa has been issued. Before it is issued, you can still edit the application yourself at no cost. After it is issued, a wrong name, date of birth, passport number or entry date needs a corrected e-visa, which our Update E-Visa service provides from $65. The form is on this page, and you can also choose a service if you are not sure which one fits.

eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can contact the Vietnam Immigration Department yourself, as explained below; we offer a faster route for travelers who fly soon.

Correcting a Vietnam e-visa at a glance:

Which mistakes can be corrected?

Wrong information on a Vietnam e-visa can usually be corrected when it is a typing error in the name, date of birth, passport number or entry date. The table shows what to do for each.

To amend a Vietnam e-visa with a wrong name, send a passport scan with the order. Among the common Vietnam e-visa mistakes, a swapped letter in the name and a mistyped passport number cause the most trouble at check-in, because the airline compares the e-visa with your passport. Our page on wrong name or passport number covers each type of error.

Can I edit my Vietnam e-visa after submission?

Before the e-visa is issued, yes in one case: when the status is "Amendment required", you search for the application with your registration code, change what is asked and send it back. Once the e-visa is issued, the application is closed and cannot be edited online.

The Embassy of Vietnam in India says on its e-visa page that embassies do not make corrections or changes to issued e-visas, and points travelers to the Vietnam Immigration Department at [email protected] (as of October 2026). Our guide to e-visa problems and fixes and the page to check your e-visa status show how to tell which stage you are at.

If the application is still processing and the details are wrong, waiting does not fix the mistake. You can expedite a pending e-visa only when the details are right; for wrong details, a new application with the correct ones is the better route.

How to correct Vietnam visa details with Update E-Visa

Update E-Visa is our service for correcting an issued e-visa. It costs $65 for the Same day option and $85 for the Weekend and Public Holidays option, which the form offers only inside the weekend window and on public holidays. Use the Update E-Visa form and give us:

1. Your details: Name, email (typed twice) and, if you like, a phone number.
2. The e-visa: Its code and the email address used on it.
3. Two files: Your passport scan and the e-visa you hold now.
4. The mistake: A short note saying what to correct, such as name spelling, passport number or dates.

Pay by card. We email the corrected e-visa by the delivery time shown on the form before you pay. If the correction needs a detail we cannot tell from your files, we message you on WhatsApp at +84 879 932 635 (8:00 to 21:00, GMT+7).

How long a correction takes

On a weekday, an Update E-Visa order placed before 9:00 is due at 14:00 the same day. One placed from 9:00 to 14:44 is due at 18:30, and from 14:45 at 14:00 the next working day.

All times are Vietnam time (GMT+7), and the form shows the exact estimate before you pay.

Vietnam is ahead of most of our travelers. For a flight tomorrow, order today and add the time zone gap; our urgent e-visa page converts Vietnam time for other cities.

What to check before you fly

Check your e-visa against your passport before you leave for the airport: the name letter by letter, the date of birth, the passport number and the entry date. Airlines ask for the e-visa PDF at check-in, and a mismatch is more likely to stop you at the desk than at the border.

If you find a mistake while you are at the airport, see our checklist for denied boarding over a Vietnam visa. Also note that a correction is separate from changing your flight: if the entry date is the only issue, read about how to change it.

Guides for each type of mistake

Each guide covers one case in more detail.

• Entry date: Change your entry date, including arriving earlier or later than the e-visa says.
• Name, birth date or passport number: Wrong name or passport number, with what happens at the border.
• Refusal: Refused e-visa, and when to apply again.
