4. Can You Change Your Port of Entry After Approval?

Official regulations require travelers to enter through the gate specified on their approved visa. However, entering via an alternate international airport (e.g. landing at Hanoi instead of Ho Chi Minh City due to flight rerouting) is generally accepted by airport border control.

In contrast, switching between categories (e.g., attempting to cross a land border when your eVisa indicates an airport) is strictly prohibited and will result in denied entry.
