How to fix the Vietnam arrival card error saying the visa issue date is later than the planned entry date when arriving in Phu Quoc?

TL;DR

First, manually check the visa issue date and planned arrival date, as passport-data import can populate fields incorrectly. If both dates are correct, the arrival card website itself may be malfunctioning; travelers reported that retrying with Phu Quoc selected did not always resolve it.

What the community said

Review every date populated after uploading or scanning the passport. Pay particular attention to the visa issue date, as automatically imported details may be incorrect.

Check the error message literally: the visa issue date entered in the form must not be later than the selected arrival date in Vietnam. Correct either field if it has been entered incorrectly.

If Phu Quoc is selected and the form still will not submit even without an exit date, the arrival card website may be experiencing a temporary technical issue. Travelers have reported this after repeated attempts during the day.
