Vietnam electronic visa will be sent to the registered email after being approved by the Immigration Department. Electronic visa will clearly show the personal information of the visa applicant, the validity of the visa and the place of entry.

On the day of entry, the immigration department at the airport or land border gate will check the E-visa and compare it with the information on the system. New Zealander do not need to present any additional documents other than the original passport.
