How to complete Vietnam’s arrival card when arriving on the first valid day of an e-visa

If a warning appears at the final step, recheck the arrival date against the e-visa: travelers reported the same issue even with the arrival date already set to the 26th.

If an e-visa becomes valid on the day of arrival—for example, valid from 22 September with arrival on 22 September—use that same date as the arrival date on the arrival card.

The key check is that the entered arrival date falls within the e-visa validity period. According to traveler experience, the form may calculate the dates itself even when its questions seem inconsistent.

When entering on an e-visa, travelers consider completing the arrival card on the day of arrival rather than earlier if the form does not accept the visa start date.
