Flight reservation
Optional
A flight booking is not among the items reported for the e-visa application. Border officers and airlines may still ask for a return or onward ticket, so it is worth carrying one.

Vietnam visa FAQ
Does Vietnam ask for a flight reservation for an e-visa?
The e-visa application is reported to need passport details, a photo and travel dates, not a flight booking. Immigration officers or airlines may ask for a return or onward ticket when you travel, so carrying one is sensible.
Is a hotel booking needed for a Vietnam e-visa?
It is not reported as an application document. Some travellers are asked for proof of accommodation at the border, so keep your confirmations printed or saved offline.
When should I book flights for Vietnam?
Decide your dates first, because the e-visa is issued for the entry and exit dates on the form. Holding a reservation until the e-visa is approved avoids paying for a ticket you cannot use.
How long can Indians stay in Vietnam on an e-visa?
Sources consistently describe the e-visa as valid for up to 90 days, with single and multiple entry options. Confirm the current terms on the official portal before applying.
