How can I change the auto-filled issue date when selecting Vietnam’s unilateral visa exemption on an immigration form?

TL;DR

To change the pre-filled date, temporarily select another visa or entry-permission type, enter the required date manually, then switch back to the unilateral visa-exemption option. One suggested workaround is setting the date one day before arrival.

What the community said

Another practical method is to choose any option other than unilateral exemption and set the date manually to one day before arrival. Then switch back to unilateral exemption; the entered date should remain.

After changing the visa type, set the issue date to the current day and then select the unilateral visa-exemption option again. This workaround may retain the manually entered date.

If the unilateral visa-exemption option auto-fills the date, switch temporarily to any other visa type. This should make the date field available for manual editing.
