Vietnam E-Visa Requirements for Citizens of Canada

Before applying for the Vietnamese E-visa, it is best to consult the visa requisites for Canadian travelers. They will find up-to-date information about which countries they can visit with an electronic visa and how to apply.

The main requirements to obtain the Vietnamese E-visa for Canadian nationals include the following:

• Possess a Canadian passport valid for 180 days on their arrival date in Vietnam
• Share digital copies of their passport’s biographical page and a recently taken ID photo
• Provide a frequently accessed email address to submit their online visa request
• Supply a debit or credit card to pay the processing fee for their electronic visa
• Have their travel itinerary ready.

Canadian citizens with a passport that will expire within 180 days of their intended arrival must have it renewed with their local authorities before submitting their form.

Likewise, Canadians with dual citizenship should note the Vietnam E-visa cannot be transferred to a second travel document. They must remember to enter Vietnam with the same passport they used during their application.

Travelers from Canada can submit their request for a Vietnam electronic visa by accessing an online questionnaire. This takes very little time to complete. You will be required to share some personal information such as the following:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Citizenship
• Gender
• Religion
• Personal address
• Email account
• Phone number

Canadian passport holders continue their electronic visa application form by providing some details related to their travel plans, such as the following:

• Date of entry
• Reason for travel
• Cities intended for visit
• Accommodation details

They will then finalize the questionnaire by sharing some Canadian passport details such as the document number or the expiry date and uploading their ID photos and passport’s biographical page.

It is very important for Canadian applicants to review all the information supplied in the Vietnam E-visa form. Any mismatch or incorrect details could interfere with their request.

The application is concluded with the payment of the processing fee. Most international debit and credit cards are accepted, and Canadians must simply ensure they have been authorized for online transactions.

The Government of Vietnam analyzes the E-visa forms filled in by Canadian citizens. If these have been correctly filled in, they will receive a resolution to their requests between 2 and 5 business days.

Applicants from Canada will receive a confirmation email, which will include their approved Vietnam E-visa. We recommend they print out a copy and keep it next to their travel documents before their trip.

Canadian nationals can enter Vietnam by air, road, or sea. They can use their electronic visa at any international port of entry in the country. Upon reaching a border crossing, we recommend using the waiting lines reserved for E-visa holders to save time.

Border officials will require arrivals from Canada to submit their printed E-visa and passport for inspection before being granted entry.

Visitors from Canada must abide by the allowed days on their electronic visa (90). If they encounter any unexpected issue and need to prolong their stay, they can organize an appointment at the Immigration Office in Hanoi and apply for an E-visa extension.
