How to fix Vietnam’s pre-arrival form error when your e-visa issue date is the same as your arrival date?

For the pre-arrival date error, start by selecting e-visa. Enter an earlier visa date—for example, 22 September for a 23 September arrival—then switch the document type to one-way visa exemption; the entered date can remain saved.

A similar workaround is to keep the actual arrival date in the top field. In the lower visa-date field, first choose e-visa and enter the current date, then change the option to one-way visa exemption.

One self-submitted e-visa application was approved in four working days. At the border, officers checked the visa and issued a 90-day entry stamp.
