When filling out the arrival form/QR code for Vietnam, the 'visa issue date' field may reject future dates

When filling out the arrival form/QR code for Vietnam, the 'visa issue date' field may reject future dates. If the user does not have a physical visa sticker or is using an e-visa, they should enter the current date. Border officers typically only verify the existence of the e-visa or visa validity in their system and do not perform deep data verification on the arrival card.
