Does a BIDV card stop working when your Vietnam visa expires, and can QR payments still work?

From messages by 5 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 8 days ago

TL;DR

In September 2026, one participant reported that a BIDV card was blocked after their visa expired; another reported that Apple Pay and card-account transactions stopped working while QR payments still worked, but did not confirm whether e-visa expiry caused this. Rules change — confirm with an official source before you travel.
