Questions and Answers (43)
My husband and I sent our requests for Vietnam visas three days ago. Unfortunately when my husband sent his, he had forgot his middle name. I told him this and he sent in a request to add it in within 10 minutes after he initially sent his original. Do you think it will be ok and his name will be corrected since we were quick to change it? Will it take longer than usual?
@Cheyenne Macatangay, Unfortunately, it will cause a delay to your original application because once it is submitted, it cannot be amended until the status changes to "amending application". We advise you to check your application status regularly and update your name once it is open for editing.
I applied for a visa days ago but didn’t list an intended address. My husband’s visa was denied because of that but mine still says in processing. I submitted mine a day earlier than him. Should I submit a new e-visa now or keep waiting? We leave on Monday 12/4.
@Taylor, If your husband's visa was denied because he did not provide a residential address in Vietnam, there is a high chance that your application will also be rejected. We advise you not to submit a new application until you receive the result of the current one.
