Are you wondering how to put the correct order of your name on the application form while applying for a Visa to enter Vietnam. This article is for you. In this post we will guide you on the correct order of the name on the Visa, so that you could avoid the denial on your Visa or entry by the Immigration officers.
When applying for a Vietnamese visa, the order of your name must exactly match the order on your passport. This goes for both online applications and applications submitted at an embassy or consulate.
Passport formats differ across countries, and some display the surname (last name) first, while others use the first name first format. The key point is to replicate the exact order your name appears on the ICAO line of your passport when filling out the visa application. You can see the sample below:
→ The correct order of the name of this person is: TRAVELER HAPPY
Special notes:
- Incase your name includes the hyphen “-’, please note that it is not to be written on the Visa according to the ICAO lines.
- The order of your name on the Visa approval letter which is used for getting a Visa on arrival is not required. If all of your entry information, passport number and the spelling of your name are correct, you can use it to board the plane and get the Visa upon arrival without any issues.
- India passport holders who have no surname (only one given name on the passport) still can apply for the E-Visa to enter Vietnam.
- If you find it difficult to fill the correct order of your name on the application form, you can apply through a Visa agency, they will help you get the Visa with all information correctly as it appears on your passport and is valid for Vietnam entry.
- The incorrect order of your name on the application form may lead to the denial of the Vietnam Immigration department.
- Once you get your E-Visa, please carefully check the order of your name as well as other information if it is correct to avoid the hassle at the airport when boarding the plane or at the port when entering Vietnam.
In conclusion, the order of your name on the Visa is the important information that you should note and check carefully when applying for the Visa to enter Vietnam.
