An electronic visa (e-visa) is a type of visa issued by the Vietnamese Immigration Department via an online application process. It's a convenient option for travelers who want to avoid the hassle of applying for a visa at a Vietnamese embassy or consulate.
Here's a summary about Vietnam e-visa:
You can apply for a Vietnam e-visa online through the National Immigration Portal of Vietnam or on our website. You will need to provide your passport information, travel details, and a digital photo. Once your application is approved, you will receive an e-visa via email that you can print and present at the border upon arrival in Vietnam.
E-visa holders can only enter and exit Vietnam through designated international airports and land border gates.
There's currently only one type of Vietnam e-Visa offered, but it comes with two options for entry

I already got the E-Visa, but the DoB/PoB/Passport No./ Name specified on it is wrong. Please correct it for me.
ANSWER
Dear Jim Henson,
Thank you for your attention to our website.
If customers apply with us and it is our fault: We will check and send you the correct E-Visa by your flight time.
If customers did not apply with us or apply with us but it is the customers’ fault: The E-Visa once issued cannot be amended. You need to apply for the new E-Visa to board the plane and enter Vietnam.

I have been in Phu Quoc for 14 days on a 30-day visa exemption. Today my E-Visa has been issued. Can I use it to enter Ho Chi Minh directly from Phu Quoc?
ANSWER
Dear Harry Lime,
Thank you for your attention to our website.
You are enjoying a 30 days Visa exemption on Phu Quoc.
This Visa exemption policy applies only to Phu Quoc Island.
In case you have a new E-Visa, you need to exit Vietnam to Laos, Cambodia,... then enter Ho Chi Minh with that new E-Visa. You cannot enter Ho Chi Minh directly from PQ in this case.

My nationality is exempted from the Vietnam Visa for 45 days. Do I have to wait 30 days from the time of departure to re-enter Vietnam on a unilateral visa exemption if I already did so the last time?
ANSWER
Dear Kane Will,
Thank you for your attention to our website.
There is no requirement for the day interval between 2 stays on Visa exemption.
Therefore, you don’t need to wait until 30 days to re-enter Vietnam to enjoy Visa exemption again.
