TLDR : Answer Summary

COVID insurance is not required to enter Vietnam, according to recent traveler experiences and comments. Some official websites may still indicate that it is required, but travelers have reported entering the country without being asked for any proof of insurance. Tips about the evisa process and concerns about flight bookings were also discussed.

A lot of websites, even official government websites still say it's required. But they don't ask for it at the airport.

I entered Vietnam last month.

I already had my dates set. They do ask for dates and my evisa entrance date was the date that I gave in my application.

ok thanks.

I'm a bit reluctant to pay for flights 1st in case visa doesn't come back in time so might use to pay on arrival route.

Currently at Jomtien immigration trying to get everything moved to new passport (manic queues atm) before I book anything.
