from What about Vietnam - Traveller Insights · host Kerry Newsome

Let’s start with one of the most important questions you need to answer before you get too far into booking or planning your trip to Vietnam.Why? Because this one question quietly underpins everything else. It sounds simple — but this is where so many people come unstuck.I can’t stress this enough: if you don’t ask yourself this question early, you can end up choosing the wrong visa, applying for something you didn’t need, or realising far too late that one small decision here has shaped your whole trip.And what is an eVisa? In this episode of What About Vietnam – One Question at a Time, I break down the “Visa Entry question”  into clear, bite-size pieces. I’ll explain who actually needs a visa, who doesn’t, and I’ll walk you through how to apply for a Vietnam eVisa properly and what to double-check so it doesn’t derail your trip.If you’re coming from the UK, Europe, the US, Australia or elsewhere, the answer to the ultimate question here is: it depends!Some passports qualify for Vietnam’s 45-day visa-free entry, others don’t. Some trips work perfectly on visa-free. Others absolutely don’t.And then there’s the eVisa — which is simple, but also incredibly easy to mess up if you don’t pay attention to the details.In this episode, I walk you through:The most common eVisa mistakes I see:Wrong datesWrongly spelling, middle name missing on EVisa but is in PassportPassport details don’t matchWrong entry pointApplying too late (and panic-fixing it)This episode will help you:✅ Choose the right entry option for your trip✅ Avoid last-minute stress and costly mistakes✅ Start your Vietnam journey calm, confident, and preparedSo this is “cautious Kerry”, signing off on One Question at a time Series 6-Ep3Please take the time to explore the link to more information - https://www.whataboutvietnam.com/visa-info  and for the direct link to the official Immigration site go here. Follow on your favourite pod channel, email directly to [email protected] Keep abreast of news on our social pages on FB, IG,LinkedIn and TikTokLet me design your #customised #private tour of Vietnam  - See our Travel ServicesDo you need a #Dental Procedure?  Why not find out what’s possible through our Dental and #Cosmetic Medical partner Worldwide Beauty Hospital.
