Vietnam eVisa Ports of Entry: Where You Can Enter

Last updated: June 2026 · Written by the GoVietVisa processing team

Vietnam expanded its eVisa-accepted entry points significantly for 2026, which is good news for overland and cruise travelers. Here's where you can actually use your eVisa — and the one thing to double-check before an overland route.

How Many Ports Accept the eVisa?

Following the late-2025 expansion, the eVisa is accepted at around 83 international checkpoints: roughly 17 airports, 27 land border gates, and 39 seaports. That is a big jump from the smaller list of previous years, and it now covers air, land, and sea routes. Because these lists are revised periodically, treat the numbers as current-best and verify your exact checkpoint on the official portal before you travel.

Main Airports

All major international airports accept the eVisa, including:

• Noi Bai (HAN) — Hanoi
• Tan Son Nhat (SGN) — Ho Chi Minh City
• Da Nang (DAD)
• Cam Ranh (CXR) — Nha Trang
• Phu Quoc (PQC)
• Cat Bi (HPH) — Hai Phong, and Can Tho (VCA), among others.

If you are flying in, any of these is a safe choice on the application.

Land Borders (China, Laos, Cambodia)

The eVisa works at designated land gates such as Moc Bai and Xa Mat (Cambodia), Lao Bao and Cau Treo (Laos), and Huu Nghi, Lao Cai and Mong Cai (China). Crucially, not every land crossing accepts the eVisa — so if you are backpacking overland, confirm your exact border gate is on the approved list before committing to that route.

Seaports (Cruise Travelers)

Cruise passengers are covered at designated seaports including Hai Phong, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Quang Ninh, and Phu Quoc. If your cruise stops in Vietnam more than once after leaving territorial waters, you will likely need a multiple-entry visa.

Can I Enter at a Different Port Than Listed?

Generally, yes. Travelers routinely enter through a different approved checkpoint than the one selected on their application, with no penalty, as long as the new port is on the eVisa list and they arrive within the visa's valid dates. That said, choosing the port you actually expect to use — or a major airport if unsure — is the safest approach.

How to Choose When Applying

• Flying in? Select the airport you'll land at, or a major hub if you're not certain.
• Crossing by land? Verify the specific gate accepts the eVisa first.
• Cruising? Use the seaport your ship calls at, and consider multiple entry.
• Remember the entry date matters as much as the port — see our entry date guide.

And don't confuse the port choice with the digital arrival card, a separate pre-arrival step now required at some airports.
