Denied Reason: please provide a detailed address in Vietnam

    Hi Aidan
Thank you very much for your good advice, yes, everything has been followed.  Yes, the passport photo is with hijab and the portrait photo is also with hijab   
    -@babaei79m

You can try taking/submitting a new picture, strictly adhering (again) to the picture conditions listed above, wearing your hijab. Try to make the new picture look as close as possible to how any passport picture might look. If possible, get the amended application in to them today.

If rejected again, my suggestion is to submit a picture, minus the hijab.

Hey, we're trying everything we can to make this happen for you

Time is running short for you though. If we get to within a week of your intended arrival date, you might want to then seriously consider using the services of a local VN agency to secure the eVisa for you (yeah, the agencies have "connections" )

@Aidan in HCMC

Thanks a lot.  Yes, I will take a photo again, and if I don't get an answer this time, I would be grateful if you could give me the name and address of the local agency in Vietnam

I've sent you a PM with the contact info of a long-time expat.com member who has helped many other members with referrals to a trustworthy agent.

Hi Aidan

Please could you give specific guidelines on how to fill the application Form for the Vietnam Evisa?

my application has been denied for a lot of reasons

Denied Reason: Please retake and reload images.

Denied Reason: YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A CORECT ADDRESS WHERE YOU WILL STAY AND CONTACT PHONE NUMBER IN VIET NAM. IF YOUR INFOMATION IS INAPPROPRIATE, YOUR APPLICATION WOULD BE REFUSED.

Denied Reason: YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE ALL THE BLANKS IN THE APPLICATION FORM

And the current one: Denied Reason: Your visa application need to verify more information.

I’m at a loss

Hello zaraanozie. Thank you for posting directly to the forum. As mentioned our PMs, your situation and the suggested solutions made by members of the forum will be a assistance to future members and casual readers of the forum, alike.

I have a couple of questions, please.

Firstly, when is your intended arrival date? It might be in your interest to have a trusted Vietnam visa agent handle this for you.

I assume you are applying through the only official VN immigration web portal, found here? (after clicking FOR FOREIGNERS, you will be brought here). Is this correct?

Are the denial reasons you've listed in chronological order, and, are they a copy/paste from either the email you'd received or are they from the web portals SEARCH page here?

If the denials are in chronological order, did you amend the application in the manner prescribed in each of the denial notices and resubmit?

I'm sorry to pepper you with these questions, as I'm sure you are already stressed out by the application process. I'm trying to get a clear picture of how your application has progressed (or rather, hasn't progressed!).

Thank you for your response

The intended arrival date is 5th July

Yes, I am applying via that portal

Yes, the denials are in chronological order and i copied Them from the email i received

Yes, I had amended them accordingly and resubmitted.

I don’t know how to handle the current one

Okay, good. Thank you.

That last denial has me scratching my head.

By chance, might you have mistakenly completed the "Agency/Organization/Individual that the applicant plans to contact when enter into Viet Nam" panels?

This section is to be left blank, as it is for people being sponsored by a third party (employer, charity, diplomatic mission etc)

(applicants for the tourist eVisa; leave this section blank)

(enlarge image here)

Review your application again (I'm sure you're tired of that by now. sorry), ensuring all sections marked with an asterisk ( * ) are completed.

@Aidan in HCMC

No, I totally left it blank

@zaraanozie

I'm sending you a PM with my recommendation to seek the services of a VN agent (along with my reason for doing so).

@Aidan in HCMC

Thank you

Hello dear Aidan, they denied my visa because:

Denied Reason: You are required to complete all the blanks in the application form.

And iam 100% I didn't left any blanks even the Hosting/ organisation information I fill it with ( None ) as iam a tourist, but still getting this denied reason. Really don't know what to do hope for your kind support, thank you

Hi there. Take a look at this post (and other posts in the same thread).

Remove the "None". That section must be left blank. Totally blank, as in no name, no address, no purpose, and no telephone #.

Please let us know whether that post helps you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Readers of this forum.

This section must be left blank when applying for a tourist eVisa.

This section, however, must be completed.

Hi I have applied for Vietnamese E-visa and for three times now my application status in 'Amending'.  The reason is the following.

Denied Reason: You are required to provide a correct address where you will stay and a contact phone number in Vietnam. If your information is inappropriate, your application would be refused.

I am giving the correct address and phone number every time but somehow it is being rejected.

I plan to travel in the beginning of July to Vietnam. Can you help what to do?

I have already applied and hoping that they approve.

I've been having problems with the visa. Got rejected again saying that i need to fill all the blanks. I checked again, there were no empty blanks in the form. I've resubmitted twice, again came back saying i need to fill full address in Vietnam, which i did and resubmitted. Again rejected saying i need to fill all blanks. Can someone help, it's becoming frustrating. I have been on this back and forth for 2 weeks. My kids application, for which i did initially at same time as mine and my wifes got approved in 2 days, but ours (me and wife) has been bouncing back and forth for 2 weeks now.

Hello AAMem. Welcome to the forum.

The wording of the denial has me thinking that you may have completed the section titled "Hosting organisation". Might this be so? Take a look at post #212, just above yours.

If not, please let us know the name of the hotel where you will be staying, along with the address and phone number you supplied.

edit: I asked administration to move your post to this related thread

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Sorry to hear of the trouble you've been having. I've asked administration to move your post to this thread.

Take a look at post #212, above, and some of the preceding posts. All of the sections of the application marked with an asterisk ( * ) must be completed.

After reviewing the posts in this thread, should you still need help feel free to ask. I hope the information here clears things up for you.

@AAMem

As your arrival date is rapidly approaching, you might want to consider using the services of a trusted Vietnam travel agent.

If you'd like to take that route, let us know and we'll put you in contact with a long-time member of expat.com who can give you the agent's contact details.

@Aidan in HCMC Thanks a lot for your response.

Regarding the hosting organization I had initially left those spaces blank but then I got the refusal saying that I have left the spaces blank. Since, I am not going through hosting organization i put "None" in those blank spaces the second time.

Secondly, regarding the hotel address I am using the following address and phone number.

Nicecy Boutiquqe hotel, 27-29 Truong Dinh, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Phone # +84 28 2233 8883

After submitting the application I thorouhgly went through the forum and I found that some "ward number" is missing in the address, therefore I booked another hotel which had all the details. Now my new arrival hotel address is following which I will give in case my E-visa is rejected for the 4th time (I hope not).

Following is the address of the new hotel:

Labar Hotel Saigon

Nguyen Trai - Ward Ben Thanh - District 1, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Phone # +84 394 498 950

I will be waiting for your response.

Edit: Just an update that my E-Visa is again in Amending.

Denied Reason: Please provide a detailed address in Việt Nam

I would like to submit the application today so that hopefully before the weekend i can get the response.

Do you think is it possible to know about the visa status by friday or now its too late?

    @Aidan in HCMC Thanks a lot for your response.

You're very welcome.

Regarding the hosting organization I had initially left those spaces blank but then I got the refusal saying that I have left the spaces blank. Since, I am not going through hosting organization i put "None" in those blank spaces the second time.

Understood. Only sections marked with an asterisk ( * ) are mandatory fields. Leave the "Hosting org." section totally blank. Not even a "None".

It may not be too late, as your application has been processed, and now the immigration office is simply waiting for your amendment. Fingers crossed for you.

You were missing the number on Nguyen Trai.

Input your temporary address as follows (just copy/paste)

Intended temporary residential address in Viet Nam *=  Labar Hotel Saigon, 47A Nguyen Trai Road, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1  (include nothing else in this line)

City/Province * =  HO CHI MINH City  (from drop-down box)

Phone number (in Vietnam) =  0394 498 950 (optional, but recommended) note; you replace the "84" with "0"

I'm fairly confident that will satisfy immigration's amendment request.

Please keep us updated on how this progresses for you. We'd certainly appreciate it!

Did you bother to check this place out on Google Maps?

If you had, you'd have seen this profile:

You also might have noticed there is a totally different hotel (with good reviews) at that exact same street address:

Google Maps link

I have no idea where so many people are booking stays at places not officially listed with immigration, but I repeat advice given many times in the past:

Book your advanced stay through one of the major booking sites such as Agoda, BookingDotCom, HotelsDotCom, Trip Advisor or a similar site.

Hi. My travel date to Vietnam will be this July 1 and I have applied the evisa since second week of June but it kept being denied for the same reasons. 

1. "You are required to enter complete details of address and contact number in vietnam." Here is what I filled  in Address: Sheraton Saigon Grand Opera Hotel, 88 Dong Khoi St, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City,  Vietnam.

            Contact Number No. +84 28-3827 2828

2. "You are required to fill all the blanks" - I have filled all the blanks except for filled Agency/Organization you are planning to contact after entering vietnam since I am not arranging it with any travel agencies or tour guides. I even did retyping all the details in another browser.

I am travelling with my family. My son and my application  kept receiving the same reasons despite providing all the details (a number of times already) but my wife's was approved we even have the same details. I hope you could help.

@OceanBeach92107 Thank you for your response. I indeed booked the hotel through booking.comDo you think this hotel is a scam that I have booked?

@Aidan in HCMC

Thank you so much for your response.

I have updated the address as you suggested.

I will keep you updated with the response.

I really hope that I can get Visa in time.

    -@shielaenrile

I would just call that "Sheraton Hotel"

As to the requirement to fill in spaces that most people aren't required to fill in:

Another thought popped in my head:

I believe the application asks for the purpose of your visit?

EVERYONE who books a 90-Day Evisa should choose "tourism“ or “tourist“.

If you say that you are coming here to seek employment or that you are going to visit family or get married to a Vietnamese citizen or anything other than tourism, immigration is going to want to know more information from you.

@OceanBeach92107

Thanks a lot for letting me know about this.

I will look for something else at bookingdotcom.

Do you have any suggestions about the hotel in HCMC?

@OceanBeach92107

It's gone through several name changes, I noticed.

Cat Hotel

Scat Hotel (scat?!)

Cabana Hotel

Might be a result of owner turnover because of "covid" lost business?

Still, it looks the part of a "boom-boom" hotel.

AAMem, there is no penalty for booking in to another hotel after arrival. You'll note that the application asks for "intended" temporary address. Once here, it is the responsibility of the hotel to advise immigration of your temporarily residing there. The hotel will ask for your passport (let them take a photocopy, not hold it) and will register you with the authorities.

@OceanBeach92107

Hi, I booked a 30day visa and put purpose for tourism. So, should I just change the address to Sheraton  Hotel, 88 Dong Khoi St, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City,  Vietnam?

I am starting to get anxious as travel date would be this July 1 already.

@AAMem

I've heard good things about your first choice, i,e, Nicecy Boutique

    -@shielaenrile

Hi there, and welcome aboard.

The address you've given appears correct, but it is now much too close to your departure date to assure approval/receipt of your eVisa.

Your best bet is to use the services of a Vietnam travel agent, opting for a rush (!) application. Immigration is closed Saturday and Sunday, so time is of the essence for you. It's imperative you act soon as the agent's contact at immigration will not be available to them on the weekend.

I'm sending you a PM with the name of a long-time expat.com member who can give you the contact details of a trusted agent.

Good luck, and please let us know how it turns out.

@Aidan in HCMC

Thank you. I know the travel is close since I was confident with all the details I provide only to find out this afternoon that I will still receive the same reason again. Will send you a pm also. thank you

    @OceanBeach92107

I always highly recommend:

Hotel Continental Saigon

134 Đ. Đồng Khởi

Bến Nghé, Quận 1

Hồ Chí Minh City

    @Aidan in HCMC
Thank you. I know the travel is close since I was confident with all the details I provide only to find out this afternoon that I will still receive the same reason again. Will send you a pm also. thank you
   

    -@shielaenrile

Your profile is showing you as being a Philippines citizen. Were you aware that you qualify for a visa exempt entry, good for 21 days?  To extend that, you need only cross over by land or air to a neighbouring country and then reenter immediately for another 21 days.

@shielaenrile

Thank you for the PM, and that you are applying on behalf of another party. Understood.

Again, best of luck with the agency and when you have time, please let us know how it works out. We'd very much appreciate it.

Well, I came with a good news

my visa finally arrived with the help of the Vietnamese agency, I finally succeeded. a special thanks to Aidan, whose advice was very useful , I just have a question. The date on the visa says you are allowed enter Vietnam from 17/07 to 22/08. Does this mean that we can enter Vietnam during this date and stay for one month or can we stay in Vietnam according to this date?

That was nice of Aidan to give you the information about a trustworthy agency...

        -@babaei79m

According only to those dates.

The first date is the earliest you can enter Việt Nam, but you can enter after that.

The second date is the date you must leave Việt Nam (by 11:59 PM/23:59 hours)

Thank you very much Oceanbeach, I wanted to thank you for introducing me to the Vietnamese agency.  I am really grateful.  We wish the best for you and thanks for your answer.

@babaei79m

And a big THANK YOU for reporting back to the forum your good news!

As member OceanBeach92107 (good job with the agent referral, sir!) said, you are permitted to enter on (or after) 17/07, and to leave any time prior to midnight 22/08. Including your date of arrival, this will give you a total of 37 days, if you so choose.

So happy it all worked out for you. Feeling a little less stressed now?

Once you've arrived it would be great to hear back from you of your impressions/experiences, and of course feel free to ask any questions you might have whilst here.

Hope to hear back from you in the near future, and again, so happy to hear of your eVisa issuance!

@Aidan in HCMC

Hi Aidan, my visa application status is once again 'Amending'. And following is the reason this time

Denied Reason: You are required to complete all the blanks in the application form.

I have filled out everything in the form except for Agency/Organization/Individual that the applicant plans to contact when enter into Viet Nam.

I really don't know what is wrong with my application. I have filled out everything properly, also updated the address in to the correct format. But still my application has this problem. It has happened fifth time in less than 10 days.

I would really appreciate some help.
