TL;DR
Travelers often report their bank cards get declined on the official Vietnam e-visa payment page; a common workaround in expat chats is to have someone with a working international card pay the fee for you, then reimburse them directly.
One traveler offered to help pay for another person's e-visa personally after their card was declined — a common practice in expat chats where someone with a working international card pays on your behalf and you reimburse them directly.
A traveler asked which payment services actually work for the e-visa fee — showing that direct card payment on the official portal frequently fails and people have to look for alternative ways to pay.
