Vietnam Visa Problems for US Travelers: Embassy vs eVisa Contacts
Short answer: The embassy process page separates three situations. On the embassy channel, the embassy may ask for more documents and reject an application without explanation. If a printed visa shows the wrong personal detail, contact the embassy immediately for correction. If the difficulty is with an electronic visa, contact the Immigration Department at [email protected] or hotline +84.24.382.640.26. An embassy outcome does not automatically mean you should start a new eVisa. Stand: 26 September 2026.

What the embassy says about a rejection
Read the message you actually received from the embassy. On its visa application process page, the Embassy of Vietnam in the United States states that it may request further information and documentation from applicants and reject any visa application without explanation.
That wording is about the embassy channel. Keep it with the embassy application you filed, and use the embassy visa guide when you need the embassy path in plain steps.
Check the details on a printed visa
After a visa is printed, check the personal information on it. The same embassy page tells travelers that if any detail is inaccurate, they should contact the embassy immediately for correction.
That next step stays with the embassy. It is not the same action as reopening an electronic-visa request.
An eVisa problem has its own contact
An electronic-visa difficulty sits on a different channel from an embassy desk outcome. The embassy process page treats the electronic visa as a separate Immigration Department application, and it directs travelers who hit difficulties while applying for the e-visa to the Immigration Department, Ministry of Public Security at [email protected] or hotline +84.24.382.640.26.
If the stuck step is the electronic visa itself, use that Immigration contact. For the eVisa path in plain steps, open the Vietnam eVisa guide. Keep an embassy rejection or a printed-visa correction with the embassy; those steps are not the same contact.
FAQ
Can I appeal a Vietnam visa rejection?
Follow the contact for the channel that handled the application. An embassy rejection stays with the embassy decision on that channel. An e-visa difficulty goes to the Immigration Department at [email protected] or hotline +84.24.382.640.26. That channel split does not turn every refusal into a new electronic-visa request.
What if my Vietnam visa has the wrong details?
Contact the embassy immediately for correction. The embassy page asks travelers to check the personal information printed on the visa and, if any detail is inaccurate, to raise it with the embassy right away. That is a printed-visa fix on the embassy channel, not an Immigration Department e-visa contact.
Who do I contact about an eVisa problem?
Contact the Immigration Department at [email protected] or hotline +84.24.382.640.26. The electronic visa is requested through the Immigration Department link, so difficulties while applying for the e-visa stay with that department rather than the embassy sticker desk.
