Here are a few points you can keep in mind to ensure that your Vietnam visa application is approved: 

• Error-free application: Complete the visa application form accurately and completely. Submitting false information can lead to visa rejection. When applying, make sure to have your passport by your side to cross-check and fill in the details. 

• Valid passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months and has sufficient blank pages. If not, renew your passport before applying. 

• Recent photographs: It is important to submit recent passport-sized photographs that meet the specific requirements of the Vietnamese immigration authorities. Avoid heavy filters to ensure you look the same way as seen in the photograph.
