Vietnamese eVisas may be used only at international checkpoints designated by the Vietnamese Government. The current legal list is built from two decisions: Resolution 127/NQ-CP, which named 42 checkpoints in 2023, and Resolution 389/NQ-CP, which added 41 more in December 2025.
TL;DR: The two resolutions name 83 checkpoints in total. However, Long Thanh and Gia Binh airports are expressly conditional on beginning operations, and a newly authorized checkpoint may not immediately appear in every booking system or eVisa form. Select only a checkpoint shown in the current official application dropdown and matching your ticket or operator confirmation.

Two of the four added airports—Long Thanh and Gia Binh—apply only once they are put into operation. Treat the government resolution as the legal source and the live eVisa dropdown as the final operational check for an application.
Airports
Resolution 127 lists these 13 airports:
Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, Cam Ranh, Da Nang, Cat Bi, Can Tho, Phu Quoc, Phu Bai, Van Don, Tho Xuan, Dong Hoi, Phu Cat, and Lien Khuong.
Resolution 389 adds:
Long Thanh and Gia Binh once operational, plus Vinh International Airport and Chu Lai International Airport.
Use the airport name shown in the eVisa form. IATA codes such as HAN, SGN, or DAD are useful for flight tickets, but the official application may display the Vietnamese checkpoint name instead.
Land Borders
Resolution 127 lists 16 land or land-and-river checkpoints:
Tay Trang, Mong Cai, Huu Nghi, Lao Cai, Na Meo, Nam Can, Cau Treo, Cha Lo, La Lay, Lao Bao, Bo Y, Moc Bai, Xa Mat, Tinh Bien, Vinh Xuong, and Ha Tien.
Resolution 389 adds 11:
Dong Dang Railway, Lao Cai Railway, Tra Linh, Long Sap, Nam Giang, Le Thanh, Binh Hiep, Thuong Phuoc road/river checkpoint, Dinh Ba, Tan Nam, and Thanh Thuy.
Road and rail checkpoints with similar place names are not interchangeable. For example, the 2025 additions distinguish Lao Cai Railway from the previously listed Lao Cai checkpoint. Ask the train or bus operator for the exact immigration checkpoint before selecting the form value.
Seaports
Resolution 127 lists 13 seaports:
Hon Gai, Cam Pha, Hai Phong, Nghi Son, Vung Ang, Chan May, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Dung Quat, Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City, and Duong Dong.
Resolution 389 adds 26:
Van Gia, Diem Dien, Hai Thinh, Ninh Binh, Cua Lo–Ben Thuy, Son Duong, Gianh, Hon La, Cua Viet, Thuan An, Ky Ha, Sa Ky, Vung Ro, Ca Na, Ninh Chu, Phu Quy, Lien Huong, Ben Luc, Dong Thap, Soai Rap–Hiep Phuoc, My Thoi, Hon Chong, An Thoi, Truong Long Hoa, Giao Long, and Nam Can.
Cruise passengers should not choose a port from a city name alone. Ask the cruise line or shipping agent which immigration seaport will process the call, then confirm that exact name in the application.
How to Verify Before Applying
- Open only
evisa.gov.vn or thithucdientu.gov.vn, the two domains identified by Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security.
- Check the current entry-point dropdown before paying.
- Match the dropdown name with the flight, rail, bus, cruise, or ferry operator's confirmed immigration checkpoint.
- Distinguish road, rail, river, airport, and seaport entries that share a place name.
- If a newly added checkpoint is absent from the form, do not substitute a nearby name. Contact Vietnam Immigration or change the route.
For route-selection advice after you confirm eligibility, see Choosing the Right Vietnam eVisa Entry Port.
To reduce typing errors, eVisaFlow Southeast Asia can fill saved passport, trip, stay, contact, and entry-point details after you open the official Vietnam eVisa website and run the extension. The final checkpoint selection must still match the live official list and your real route.
