Vietnam visa website changed from 11th November 2024

For many years, Vietnam has required its foreign visitors to apply for a visa (e-visa) to enter the country (except for some countries with visa exemptions). However, the visa application website encountered several problems that made the process frustrating for travelers:

• Technical Glitches: Many users reported that key buttons, like “Review Application,” would freeze or not respond, halting the application mid-process. Some applicants found that switching to different browsers or devices sometimes solved the issue, but this added extra hassle.

• Browser Compatibility: The website didn’t work smoothly across all browsers. Travelers experienced functionality issues with popular browsers like Chrome and Firefox, while less common browsers, like Safari on iPad, sometimes worked better.

• Payment Failures: Many applicants faced payment errors, even after multiple attempts using various cards or devices. These payment failures caused applicants to start over and often delayed their travel plans.

• Captcha Errors: The website’s Captcha feature frequently failed to display correctly, leaving users unable to pass verification and proceed with their applications.

• Old-fashioned design: The website design is not good, leading to many travelers thinking that it is a fake website
