Official guidelines on printing the Vietnam eVisa, including accepted formats, paper sizes, and rules to ensure smooth entry at immigration.
Printing Requirements
A physical, printed copy of the approved Vietnam eVisa is mandatory. While some airlines or immigration officers may accept a digital copy on a mobile device, the official policy requires a physical printout. Relying solely on a digital copy may lead to delays, secondary screening, or denied boarding. Review the full entry requirements to ensure compliance.
Airlines verify the printed eVisa prior to boarding. Failure to present a physical copy may result in denied boarding.
Accepted Printing Formats
To ensure the eVisa is accepted by immigration authorities, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Paper Size: Use standard A4 or US Letter size paper.
- Color: The document may be printed in color or black and white. Both formats are officially accepted.
- Clarity: Ensure the print quality is high. The QR code and all text on the document must be sharp and legible for scanning by immigration officers.
- Scaling: Print the document at 100% scale. Do not resize or shrink the document.
Best Practices for Travel
To facilitate a smooth entry process, consider the following recommendations:
- Carry multiple copies: Keep at least two printed copies. Store one within the passport and another in a separate bag as a backup.
- Maintain document condition: Do not fold the paper across the QR code or crumple the document, as this may impede scanning.
- Save a digital backup: Store the original PDF file locally on a mobile device to allow for offline access and re-printing if the physical copy is lost or damaged.
