Planning a trip to Vietnam from Canada but confused about the visa process? You’re not alone. Many Canadian citizens are surprised to learn that unlike some nationalities, they are not visa-exempt when visiting Vietnam. That means you need to apply for a visa before boarding your flight. But here’s the good news – getting your Vietnam visa as a Canadian citizen has never been easier, especially with the rise of online e-visas. This step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to get your visa approved without long lines at the embassy, without stress, and with complete confidence – even if your trip is just days away.
Who Needs a Visa to Vietnam from Canada?
✅ All Canadian passport holders must obtain a visa before entering Vietnam for any purpose – tourism, business, or visiting family. There is currently no visa exemption for Canadians, even for short stays.
Types of Vietnam Visas for Canadian Citizens
✅ There are several visa types Canadians can apply for, including:
- Tourist Visa (30 or 90 days) – single or multiple entry
- Business Visa – for attending meetings, conferences, or work trips
- Family Visit Visa – for visiting relatives in Vietnam
- Student/Internship Visas – for long-term academic or training purposes
✅ For most travelers, the 30-day single-entry eVisa is the easiest and fastest option.
