I. Documents to Upload for Vietnam e-Visa:
- Passport Scan: Clear, high-resolution scan of your passport's bio-page. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of arrival in Vietnam and have at least 2 blank pages.
- Photograph: A recent (within 6 months) passport-sized color photo (4x6 cm) with a plain white background. Your face should be clear, front-facing, with no glasses or headwear (unless for religious reasons, with full face visible).
- Confirmed Flights: Onward and return flight tickets.
- Accommodation Proof: Confirmed hotel booking or an invitation letter with the host's details (if staying with friends/family).
- (Optional/May be requested): Proof of financial means (e.g., bank statement for the last 3-6 months), especially for longer stays or specific visa types.

II. Important Considerations for Vietnam Travel:
- e-Visa Validity: Vietnam e-Visas are typically valid for up to 90 days, for single or multiple entries.
- Visa on Arrival (VOA): While VOA is available for Indians, it requires a pre-approved approval letter obtained online before travel. The e-Visa simplifies this by serving as the direct entry permit.
- Passport Validity: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned arrival date in Vietnam.
- "OK to Board": This is generally NOT required for Vietnam e-Visas.
- Overstay Fines: Strict penalties apply for overstaying your visa. Ensure you depart before your visa expires.
- Entry Discretion: Final entry approval rests with Vietnamese Immigration at the airport/border.
- Visa Fees: Vary by visa type and processing urgency. Fees are generally non-refundable once processing begins, even if the application is rejected.
- Phu Quoc Island Visa Exemption: Indian passport holders flying directly to Phu Quoc Island can enter visa-free for up to 30 days, provided they have a confirmed onward ticket out of Vietnam from Phu Quoc within 30 days.
