Vietnam E-Visa Entry Ports: The Official List of Checkpoints (2025)

Choosing the correct port of entry on your Vietnam e-visa application is not just a detail—it’s a critical requirement. Arriving at a different airport or land border than the one listed on your visa can result in being denied entry.
This guide provides the complete, official list of all 42 approved checkpoints (airports, land borders, and seaports) you can use with your e-visa.

Who This Is For (and the problems it solves)

  • “Which airports accept Vietnam e-visa?”

  • “Can I cross by land from Cambodia/Laos/China with an e-visa?”

  • “My route changed—can I use a different port than the one on my e-visa?”

  • “Which seaports allow e-visa for cruise arrivals?”

Ideal for tourists, business travelers, and cruise passengers who need route-correct, compliant entry.

Rules You Must Follow

⚠️ The Golden Rule of E-Visa Entry
The entry port on your approved e-visa MUST EXACTLY MATCH the port where you arrive. If your travel plans change, you MUST apply for a new e-visa with the updated port. There are no exceptions at the border.
