while there for hours we see at least another 20-35 people mainly Australians and Kiwis with the same issue, a missing name, a letter missing or a digit . . a complete scam. A Australia couple we spoke to had to pay $1000 cash, a NZ guy paid $200 cash, everyone’s different amounts we noticed. Full on scam getting into Vietnam !
Actually when you apply on line you get a preview of what you are submitting. Then you OK it and submit it. You also receive a copy of your e visa before you travel. I always take a picture of what I submit for e visa so I can show proof too.
So why should you get rejected at the passport control when you already have your e visa without the middle name? Should you not have corrected it as soon as you receive it?
I have gone to Vietnam many times and never had I this problem on names or anything. I am not saying that there are people demanding money at the airport but millions of people go to Vietnam and the staff in the immigration and the staff at the HQ to be in cahoots is impossible.
