One of the most stressful mistakes when applying for a Vietnam visa is entering the wrong passport number. Many only realize the discrepancy after receiving their visa, which can lead to serious consequences, including denied entry. This guide will show you how to quickly resolve the issue and provide professional emergency solutions!

3 Common Types of Passport Data Errors on Vietnam Visas

  1. Incorrect Passport Number

    • Even a single wrong digit or letter will invalidate the visa.

    • Immigration officers will deny entry if the details don’t match.

  2. Wrong Passport Expiry Date

    • Errors can cause miscalculations in the visa’s validity period.

    • If the expiry date entered is earlier than the actual date, the visa may be deemed “expired.”

  3. Name Spelling Mistakes

    • Mismatched English names (e.g., missing middle names, typos).

    • Common confusion in Vietnam’s system: “L” vs. “I,” “N” vs. “M.”
