At Vietnam Visa - Visa to Vietnam, our Visa Support Team works 24/7 to ensure these problems are solved quickly, efficiently, and without delays. Here’s how we fix the most common issues:

Failed Payments — How We Solve It Immediately

Payment errors are one of the most common problems when travelers apply for e-visas online, especially visitors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland China, due to regional bank restrictions.

Common reasons payments fail:

  • Card declined by the international payment gateway

  • Temporary bank restriction

  • Browser/device compatibility issues

  • Incorrect card security information

How our team fixes it

When a payment fails, our support staff personally contacts the customer immediately through:

  • Email

  • WhatsApp

  • Phone call

We then offer alternative payment methods, such as:

  • Trying a different debit/credit card

  • Using a different currency

  • Secure link for alternative payment

  • In some cases, cash payment via our airport staff for urgent applications

→ Result: Your visa application is processed without interruption.
