VN e-visa application question: "Have you ever entered Vietnam under a different passport?"

 

What are they, worse than Indians in the love of bureaucracy and unrealistic expectations? What do they expect people to do who have been travelling for 40 years and are almost 70 years old, and visited Vietnam probably a dozen times? Spend weeks on a wild goose chase to dig up passports from the 1980s? I don't have such records at my fingertips in my home country, let alone in an ASEAN country where I am now. Plus, I would only be guessing which passport I used when, even if I did find any of them. How many people throw their hands up in the air and plain lie, i.e. omit this field?

Just relax and use the latest one.

 

I've visited with 3 different passports, even had a name change, but "forgot".... and used the latest one.

 

No problem. No photos, no finger prints like in paranoid Thailand.

 

BTW - they are relaxing on 3 mo visa rules. There are many fresh reports anyone can use "business visa", single or multi entry, for vacations. They want money!
