Do you need a printed visa for Vietnam or is the e-visa enough when you arrive?

TL;DR
In practice, at check-in and on arrival in Da Nang staff mostly just check your passport and ticket, rarely asking for the visa itself — but it's safer to carry a copy just in case.
What the community said
One traveler had her visa arranged through a travel agency, but on arrival it wasn't actually checked — at every stage, including the airport, staff only looked at her passport and ticket.

Someone asked whether the visa needs to be shown to airline staff at boarding or if it's visible in their electronic system — usually just the passport is enough, no separate visa printout required.

According to another experience, the visa is checked specifically on arrival at the airport, and may be needed again later when signing a rental agreement (e.g. for housing or a scooter), where it gets verified at the registration counter.
