Vietnam E-Visa Ports of Entry: Full 83-Checkpoint List (2026)

Planning to visit Vietnam with an e-visa? One detail you should not overlook is your port of entry.

Travelers using an e-visa must enter and exit through the government-approved checkpoints listed by the Vietnam Immigration Department. As of the December 2025 expansion under Resolution 389/NQ-CP, the total number of approved e-visa checkpoints has increased to 83, including 17 airports, 27 land border gates, and 39 seaports.

In this guide, you’ll find the full updated list of Vietnam e-visa ports of entry, along with practical tips on how to choose the correct checkpoint on your application and avoid common mistakes.

What are Vietnam e-visa ports of entry?

Vietnam e-visa ports of entry are the official international checkpoints where foreign travelers are permitted to enter or leave Vietnam using a valid e-visa. According to the Vietnam Immigration Department, e-visas can only be used through the border gates approved by the Government.

This matters because the e-visa application form requires applicants to select both:

• their intended entry checkpoint
• and their intended exit checkpoint

So before you submit your application, it is important to make sure your airport, land border, or seaport is on the approved list.

How many Vietnam e-visa checkpoints are there in 2026?

As of the latest government update, Vietnam allows e-visa holders to use 83 checkpoints in total:

• 17 airports
• 27 land border gates
• 39 seaports

This expansion gives travelers much more flexibility, especially those entering Vietnam by land from Cambodia, Laos, or China, or by sea on cruise itineraries.

If you are arriving on a cruise, it is worth confirming the exact port listed on your itinerary, not just the city or region.

How to choose the correct port of entry on your Vietnam e-visa application

On the official Vietnam e-visa application form, applicants must provide:

• intended date of entry
• allowed entry through checkpoint
• exit through checkpoint

Here are a few best practices:

1. Match your actual arrival point

Choose the checkpoint where you will physically enter Vietnam, not your final destination.

For example:

• If you land in Ho Chi Minh City, choose Tan Son Nhat
• If you enter from Cambodia by bus, choose the actual border gate such as Moc Bai
• If you arrive by cruise, select the specific approved seaport on your itinerary.

2. Check the official spelling carefully

Checkpoint names can look similar, especially with land and sea entries. It is best to use the name as shown on the official system or cross-check it against the government list.

3. Do not assume every airport is eligible

Vietnam has many airports and ports, but e-visas are valid only at the approved checkpoints.

4. Be careful with future airports

Long Thanh and Gia Binh are listed as e-visa airports only once they officially begin operation. Travelers should not choose them unless they are already active and available in the official system at the time of application.

Can you enter Vietnam through a different checkpoint than the one on your application?

Because the official e-visa form requires applicants to select both an intended entry and exit checkpoint, it is safest to assume that these details should match your real travel plan as closely as possible.

If your itinerary changes after approval, do not rely on informal advice online. Instead, check the official portal or seek proper support before traveling. This is especially important for land borders and cruise arrivals, where checkpoint differences may be more significant.

Common mistakes travelers make

Choosing the wrong checkpoint is one of the easiest ways to create unnecessary problems with a Vietnam e-visa. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

Selecting the wrong airport

Some travelers choose Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City by habit, even though they are actually arriving somewhere else. Always match your first Vietnam arrival point.

Assuming all land borders are approved

Vietnam has many border crossings, but only the approved ones can be used with an e-visa. 

Forgetting that cruises need approved seaports too

If you are arriving by cruise ship, your seaport must also be on the e-visa list. 

Confusing visa validity with checkpoint eligibility

Vietnam e-visas can be valid for up to 90 days, with single-entry or multiple-entry options, but that does not mean they can be used at any port. Checkpoint restrictions still apply.

Vietnam e-visa validity at a glance

According to the Vietnam Immigration Department, Vietnam e-visas are valid for up to 90 days and may be issued as single-entry or multiple-entry visas. The official portal also states that the e-visa fee is USD 25 for single-entry and USD 50 for multiple-entry, and the fee is not refunded if the application is refused. 

That makes it even more important to submit accurate information the first time, including your intended checkpoints.

Quick checklist before you apply

Before you submit your Vietnam e-visa application, make sure you have checked all of the following:

• Your arrival airport, land border, or seaport is on the approved list
• Your intended entry checkpoint is selected correctly
• Your intended exit checkpoint is selected correctly
• Your visa type matches your trip length and number of entries
• Your itinerary is unlikely to change after application.

Final thoughts

Vietnam’s e-visa system is much more flexible than before, with 83 approved checkpoints now available across airports, land borders, and seaports.

The proper approach is to verify your exact entry and exit points before applying and make sure they match the government-approved list.

If you get that step right, the rest of the process becomes much smoother.
