FAQ

What are the Vietnam e-Visa photo requirements?

Official requirements specify a 4 × 6 cm (2:3 portrait aspect ratio) face photo in JPEG format under 2 MB. It must show a frontal view, eyes open, no glasses, plain white background without shadows or borders, and a clear face outline (not hidden by hair). This app automatically creates files meeting these standards.

How do I create the passport Data Page image?

Simply photograph your passport photo page (Data Page) or select it from your photo library. The official portal asks for a single, clear image of the data page and does not officially specify a format or size. The app converts it to a JPG image and offers strict compression (e.g. under 200KB) for legacy or related portals where smaller files upload more reliably.

Is photo data sent to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely on your iPhone. Face detection, background correction, JPG/image generation — everything runs on-device. Your photos are never sent to any server.

Does it support e-Business or e-Medical visas?

Currently, the app supports basic e-Tourist Visa use (tourism, visiting family/friends). Support for e-Business, e-Medical, and e-Conference visas is planned for future updates.

Does this app submit the visa application for me?

No. This app is a file preparation tool only. You need to submit your visa application yourself at evisa.gov.vn. The app does not guarantee visa acceptance or approval.

When can I apply for an e-Visa?

e-Tourist Visa (1 yr / 5 yr): 4–120 days before arrival. 30-day visa: 4–30 days before arrival. Your passport must be valid for 6+ months with at least 2 blank pages.

What are the size and format requirements?

JPEG format, under 2 MB. The physical size is 4 × 6 cm (2:3 portrait aspect ratio). The official portal does not publish a required face-to-photo ratio; this app uses an in-app face guide to position your face consistently and automatically adjusts to the correct size.

Can I wear glasses?

No, wearing glasses (including sunglasses) is not allowed for e-Visa photos. Please remove glasses before taking the photo, even for vision correction.

How recent must the photo be?

Photos must be newly taken. The official portal does not publish a specific age limit (such as 6 months). Using an older photo may result in rejection, so this app recommends taking a new photo.

What are the background requirements?

A plain white or light-colored background is required. Shadows, patterns, or dark backgrounds may cause rejection. This app provides background brightness adjustment.

What are common rejection reasons?

Common reasons include: wrong size (not 4 × 6 cm), non-white background, wearing glasses, shadows, old photo, or face outline covered by hair. This app detects and warns about these issues.

What are the passport image size requirements?

The current official portal asks for a single, clear image of the passport data page and does not officially specify a format or size (the old portal referenced under 200KB, which is now superseded). To prevent upload errors on legacy or related portals, this app also supports strict compression to under 200KB.
