- Avoid sending the application form without having reviewed the data you have entered.

- The credit card must be enabled for online payments, this is important because when you cancel the service expenses, it will fail and it is not due to lack of funds but for not having the option enabled. To correct this, you only have to enter your bank’s website and enable the online payment option.
- When filling out the form, the reason for the trip must be specified, since a Spanish citizen can travel to Vietnam for two reasons, the first for business and the second for tourism.
