Here's the solution"},"content":{"rendered":"

Do you dream of discovering the wonders of Vietnam, but the visa process has you in a cold sweat? Don't panic! The solution to your Vietnamese e-visa payment problems is at hand. Let's dive into the administrative maze to guide you towards a successful visa application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam just a click away... or almost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gone are the days when you had to go to the embassy to obtain your precious sesame. A few years ago, Vietnam introduced an electronic visa system designed to simplify life for travelers. But as is often the case with technology, what should be child's play can quickly turn into an obstacle course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many travelers hit a brick wall when it came to paying for their e-visa. The official site seemed to systematically reject payments, leaving future visitors in the lurch.<\/strong>. Frustrating, isn't it? But don't despair, because an ingenious trick has been discovered by some determined globetrotters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trick that changes everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem? It seems that some IP addresses, particularly French ones, are blocked by the Vietnamese payment system. The solution? As simple as it is effective: use a VPN<\/strong>. By connecting via a server located in another country, such as the USA, Germany or even certain Asian countries, you could unblock the situation and finalize your payment without a hitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook groups have been promoting this tip, followed by Reddit and traveler forums.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you're looking for a VPN, we sometimes use Proton VPN<\/a> (unsponsored link), a free VPN that respects its users' data, from the founders of ProtonMail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions for a headache-free visa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Choose a reliable VPN service (Proton VPN is often cited, but other options exist)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Connect to a server in an \"unblocked\" country<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Visit the official Vietnamese e-visa application website
    As if that wasn't enough, there are now 3 official URLs for applying for an e-Visa for Vietnam:
    \u2013     https:\/\/thithucdientu.gov.vn\/<\/a>
    \u2013     https:\/\/evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn\/<\/a>
    \u2013     https:\/\/evisa.gov.vn\/<\/a> (the latter at least has the advantage of being in English from the outset)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Fill in the form with your personal information<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Proceed to payment, which this time should be accepted<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Details that make all the difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Remember, the devil is in the detail. Make sure you spell your first and last names exactly as they appear on your passport. An error at this stage could delay the processing of your application by several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Features of the Vietnamese e-Visa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Holders of ordinary Chinese biometric passports must exchange their e-Visa for a free paper visa on arrival. This measure is linked to the presence of a controversial map of the South China Sea in these passports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The e-Visa covers a wide range of travel purposes, including :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
