Vietnam e-visa for Canadian citizens

In short: passport holders from Canada are not visa-exempt for Vietnam. Apply for the e-visa online before you fly: up to 90 days, single or multiple entry.

I'm Paul, a Vietnam visa agent. I check every application by hand before it goes to the immigration portal, and I offer same-day urgent e-visas, from 1 hour, when your flight is soon.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date, with at least 2 blank pages
  • A clear passport-style photo (white background, no glasses)
  • A scan or photo of your passport information page
  • Your planned arrival date and entry airport or border gate (see all e-visa airports)

Common mistakes I fix for Canadian applicants

  • Assuming visa-free entry: Canada is not on Vietnam's visa-exempt list.
  • Place of birth vs nationality mixed up in the form.
  • Middle names missing or given names in the wrong order.
  • Visa dates too short for the whole trip, including side trips to Cambodia or Laos and back.

Why apply with Paul instead of the official portal?

You can apply yourself on the official website evisa.gov.vn. Use me if you want a real person to check everything, a reply within an hour on WhatsApp, urgent processing, or help when an application is stuck.
