If you are applying for a Vietnam e-visa and you have reached the part that asks for your intended accommodation address, you're not alone in wondering: “Wait, what if I haven’t booked a hotel yet?” And once your visa is approved, you might be surprised to find that there’s no address on the visa at all.
Don’t worry—this is a common point of confusion, and we are here to clear it up. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this guide will walk you through what to enter, why it matters, and what happens once you arrive in Vietnam.
This is simply the place you plan to stay when you first arrive in Vietnam. It could be a hotel, guesthouse, Airbnb, or even a friend’s home. The e-visa form asks for this to help immigration authorities understand your travel plans.
You don’t need to have a confirmed booking.
You’re not locked into staying at that exact address.
You just need to provide a realistic and reachable location.
If you are still deciding where to stay, we recommend entering the name and address of a reputable hotel in your arrival city. It’s perfectly fine to change your plans later.
Need help picking one? Our team can suggest trusted hotels that work well for visa applications.
Once your e-visa is approved, you will probably notice that the accommodation address you entered is not printed anywhere on the visa. Please rest assured, that is not a mistake—it is just how the system works.
Here’s why:
The visa only shows key details like your name, passport number, travel dates, and port of entry.
The accommodation address is used behind the scenes during processing.
Immigration officers already have access to your full application, so there’s no need to display the address.
So if your visa looks “blank” in that section, do not worry—it’s completely normal and does not affect your entry into Vietnam.
Once you arrive, you might hear the term temporary address—especially if you’re staying longer or registering with local authorities.
It is the place you are currently staying in Vietnam, even if just for a few nights.
Hotels usually handle this for you automatically.
If you’re staying in a private home or rental, you might need to report your address to the local ward police.
This becomes more important if you are applying for a visa extension or other services that require proof of where you’re staying.
Pick a real hotel or guesthouse for your intended accommodation address—even if it’s just a placeholder.
Avoid vague entries like “TBD” or “Not sure”—they can slow down your application.
Do not stress if your visa does not show the address—it’s not supposed to.
Keep your hotel booking confirmation handy when you land, just in case immigration asks.
Need assistance? We are here for you anytime:
Start your application through our Vietnam-Immi.org, and let us take care of the details—so you can focus on planning your adventure.

If you have been tracking your visa status and suddenly see the message "Amendment Required" you might feel a surge of anxiety. You may ask yourself, "Can anyone please advise what this means when applying for a visa?" or "Why do I keep getting this status 'Amendment Required' despite checking everything?"
Don't worry—this is not a rejection. It is an invitation from the Immigration Department to fix specific errors so your visa can be approved. This guide will walk you through the causes and the exact steps to resolve it.
When the status of your visa application (particularly for the Vietnam E-visa) changes to "Amendment Required," it means the immigration officer has reviewed your file but cannot process it further due to incorrect, missing, or inconsistent information.
Think of this status as a "soft pause." The authorities are giving you a chance to correct your mistakes without having to pay the visa fee again or start a brand-new application from scratch. However, if you do not respond correctly or promptly, your application could eventually be rejected.
Your uploaded portrait photo does not meet the legal requirements.
Your passport data page is blurry or cropped.
There is a typo in your name, date of birth, or passport number.
Many travelers ask, "I keep getting this status 'Amendment Required' even after updating once. Why?" Usually, this happens because the initial correction did not fully satisfy the officer's requirements.
This is the most common culprit. The Immigration Department is very strict about:
Portrait Photos: Must be 4x6 cm, taken within the last 6 months, with a white background, no glasses, and a neutral expression.
Passport Images: The entire data page (including the ICAO lines at the bottom) must be clearly visible. Glare from a camera flash over your name or birthdate will trigger a request for amendment.
If the name you typed in the form does not perfectly match the name on your passport (e.g., missing a middle name or swapping surname/given name), the system will flag it. Even a small typo in your "Entry Port" can lead to this status if that port does not accept E-visas.
Sometimes, the address of your temporary stay in Vietnam is too vague. Writing just "Hotel in Hanoi" is often insufficient; you need the specific hotel name and street address.
To clear this status and get your visa approved, follow these precise steps:
Go to the official portal where you applied. You will need your Registration Code, Email, and Date of Birth to log in and view the specific remarks left by the immigration officer.
At the bottom of your application status page, there is usually a small note indicating exactly what needs to be changed (e.g., "Full name incorrect," or "Poor quality passport image").
Click the edit/update button. Re-upload higher-quality images or correct the text fields. Ensure that your portrait photo is a professional-style headshot and not a cropped selfie from a vacation.
After saving the changes, your status should change back to "In Processing." It typically takes another 3–5 working days for the officer to review your amendments.
If you are in a rush or find the official portal's interface confusing, the best way to ensure a "First-Time Approval" is to use a professional service.
We specializes in reviewing your documents before they are submitted to the government. By choosing our service, you benefit from:
Expert Review: Our team checks your photos and passport data for any potential "Amendment" triggers.
Speed: We offer expedited processing if you are stuck in the "Amendment Required" loop and your flight is approaching.
Support: If you get an amendment request, we handle the communication with the Immigration Department for you.
