Hello, if you’ve successfully submitted your application of DTV in Vietnam thru e-visa, can you leave the country while waiting for the result? Will they detect that you left the country? Thank you for any information.

Hi there, I’m in Hanoi now,Is it better to apply for the DTV VISA online or directly with the embassy?

Assuming I have all the required documents ready. How long can I expect if I apply with the embassy. Thanks!

Not Thailand related vs. the "everything else" part of this group - has anyone applied for a Vietnam e-visa in the last year or so? I have some questions - I haven't been to Vietnam since COVID before an e-visa was an option. It's currently cheaper for me to fly and stay in Da Nang than Hua Hin from CNX - that was the choice :)

Do you get a printout that you can use in the immigration queue vs. the old VOA you have to get preapproval for, then queue up for an hour or two on arrival to get it before then going through immigration? Am I correct in thinking the e-visa doesn't involve a full-page visa sticker in my passport?

Also, for those who have applied, how long did it take. The website says three days.

I already have a multi-re-entry stamp for my two-year Thai extension of stay and I don't qualify for visa-exempt/free entry into Vietnam.

For anyone who applied for the e-visa prior to arriving in HCMC, were there additional fees at the airport? I paid for the e-visa app online, but am unclear whether there are other fees once you receive the actual visa.

Also, will a bus ticket be accepted as proof of onward travel? And for the rental contract, do you need a photocopy of the landlord's ID? Thanks!
