Check the e-visa start date carefully. If your flight reaches Vietnam before that date, immigration may refuse entry regardless of the transit airport.

Visa agents do not always ask for the intended entry airport, which supports using a route via Ho Chi Minh City. Still, review every detail on the issued e-visa before departure.
