It is an alternative to the visa documentations issued at the embassies of Vietnam and visa on arrival. After an eVisa application has been approved, the visa issuance system will then send a notice to the applicant, containing a link to a webpage to download and print the eVisa from. Visitors are required to present this eVisa at the immigration checkpoint for verification upon their arrival in Vietnam.
