Do I need to bring physical photos for the immigration procedure with a Vietnam E-visa?

Wednesday, Jun 24, 2026 - 3:19 PM

No, you do not. With a Vietnam Electronic Visa (E-visa), you do not need to bring any physical portrait photos with you to the airport.

To enter Vietnam smoothly, you only need to prepare and present the following two documents at the Immigration counter:

🔹 Your original passport (must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date).
🔹 A printed copy of your E-visa (it is highly recommended to print a physical copy rather than just showing it on your phone).

➔ The Immigration officers will verify these documents and stamp your passport for entry.

⚠️ Important Note: Please double-check all information on your Vietnam E-visa carefully before traveling (including your full name, date of birth, passport number, visa validity dates, and gender,...). Any mismatched information with your passport can result in being denied entry or boarding.

⚡ Your trip to Vietnam is up coming but your visa has not arrived yet? Apply Vietnam E-visa with Normal service on our website Govietnamvisa.com NOW. You will get Vietnam E-visa after 4 working days!

Alternatively, and this is my preference, they can buy online an “approval letter” (from a private agency such as govietnamvisacom, which offers a very efficient service) that takes about 3 weeks to process for FUll Package visa in Covid. It's the easiest way to come back Vietnam in 2021

Truthfully, it’s hard to tell the difference between real companies and the fake ones. That’s why we created this post and want to share a real and reliable site we trust and recommend: govietnamvisa.com.

I was in Vancouver Canada and checked in after I had flown from Atlanta, Georgia. I did not realize I needed a Visa for entry into vietnam. The lady at the counter gave me their.com address. Once I got to there website there was a number I called it and spoke with Jasmine. She was able to get everything done that I needed within 1 hour. The lady at EVA counter told me I would probably miss my flight but they would get me another flight going out. Again, Jasmine was able to get everything done an hour or less. I was able to get on my flight I'm very grateful! (-:

I applied online on this site and I immediately recieved an email to attach my required documents. From this website I clicked on watts app and Alex helped me immediately. He is very professional and helpful. Within 4 days He sent me evisas for vietnam without any hassle. I recommend him and this website 💯. It is reliable 👍

This organisation talked me out of applying and advised me to wait until the morning, as I had already applied for an evisa, but the weekend was coming up and I was leaving on the Sunday. Sure enough in the morning my evisa had been accepted. They could have taken my money and provided me with a 3 hour visa, but they didn’t, they gave me great and informed advice. I would highly recommend them to travellers.

They answered immediately and made us feel confident we weren’t going to miss our flight. They made the process so easy and had our visas in 20 minutes. Highly recommend.

We were at the Bangkok airport with 2 hours before our flight when we found out that we needed visa to enter Vietnam. Linda was amazing. She made it possible for us to catch the flight. The staff at Airasia counter were also amazing. They held the plane for us while we ran to the gate.

There is nothing like the stress of needing an urgent visa unexpectedly.. but with govietvisa whilst my heart rate was still pumping I knew I was in good hands. Clear, concise communication, timelines and a genuine offer of support. It really takes the worry away having a team you can rely upon.

I was checking into my flight to Hanoi when I realized there was a mistake on my Visa for entry. The airline would not let me board and I instantly went looking for a Visa service who could help me ASAP. I found Govietnamvisa.com . They issued my new visa and sent documentation to board my flight . Their communication was absolutely amazing. Thanks to Sophia and Govietnamvisa team. I would highly recommend.

Really fast service, due to a change in my flight I had to get a visa in less than 24 hours and Govietnamvisa team especially Steve was super helpful and made my stressful situation a lot less stressful. They arranged a letter so I could board my flight and then when I arrived in Hanoi and representative met me before immigration with a sign saying my name. From there he and his colleague finished the process and it was very fast. Would recommend!

It was midnight in South Africa and my client was at the check in counter and had a problem with the visa he did online himself - Steve from GoVietnamvisa assisted me instantly and with urgency and my client managed to make his flight. It was such a relief and the speed and ease of working with Steve was amazing

We realized that our Mom visa expired the last mins. We tried to obtain the urgent visa but somehow the paperwork was only being processed which can't be accepted by any agents from EVA. I just took my chance and made a random calls and that was when I run into Jasmine from GoVietnamvisa. She provided us a great help and support . She was really patient and professional guiding me through all the necessary need. With her great support, we managed to obtain the paperwork to board the flight in the nick of time. I want to express my great gratitude to Jasmine ad GoVietnam! Wish them a great time to come. Thank you

Thank you to Sophia and Govietnamvisa for helping during a very stressful time arranging a last minute Vietnam visa for my daughter, their immediate response and clear instructions were very helpful and made a stressful time more manageable.

Laura Traynor

Came through at short notice during the Tet holiday! Jasmine frpm GovietnamVisa was an amazing point of contact who guided me through obtaining 3 visa for our family at very short notice. Even though it was the middle of Tet, our equivalent of Christmas, Easter, and every other public holiday rolled into one, we got our paperwork in short order. On arrival, we had someone wait at immigration to guide us to the right desk and cleared in no time. If you ever, EVER, need a visa to Vietnam at short notice, pay for this service. It is absolutely worth every cent.

INCREDIBLE! OMG guys. We arrived at the airport not knowing we needed a visa for Vietnam. Picture this, the final check in for flights was in 45 minutes. We were stressing out. But with Linda from Go Vietnam Visa, she got my group of FIVE Visas in FIFTEEN MINUTES. On top that, check in was super fast! Linda is the only reason we are sitting in a beautiful Vietnamese restaurant enjoying lunch right now! 5 stars for Go Vietnam Visa!
