IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. Visas issued by Viet Nam Embassy are regular (physical) visas, not electronic visas (e-visas). Visas issued by Viet Nam Embassy are accepted to enter Viet Nam through any airports, seaports or land border gates. For e-visas, if you have applied for e-visas and encountered any problems (such as delays, incorrect information on e-visas, failed payments, being denied to enter Viet Nam…), you need to follow up with the Immigration Department of Viet Nam, not Viet Nam Embassy.  
  2. Your Passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months upon your arrival in Vietnam. Holders of Refugee Travel Document can not apply for a visa issued by Vietnam Embassy.
  3. Processing time for Visa Application is about 10 business days. In cases of urgency, you could request Express Processing Service and visa could be issued after 3 business days.
  4. The valid duration of tourist visa will be based on your request in your Application Form, but no more than one month. In cases where you want to stay in Viet Nam for more than one month, you can apply for extension when you are in Viet Nam.  
  5. If you want to apply for business visas, your business partners in Viet Nam need to work with Immigration Department of Viet Nam and obtain Approval Letter for your visa request. Then, you can send your Visa Application (together with the Approval Letter) to Viet Nam Embassy for processing.  
  6. Visa application fees are non-refundable. However, your credit card will not be charged until we have contacted you by phone to advise you of the fees and you have confirmed with us by email that you are OK with the fees. 
  7. Visas issued by Viet Nam Embassy will be shipped to you by either Fedex or Canada Post. Fedex service is usually faster and fewer delays. You need to make sure the mailing address you provide in your application is correct and complete (with postal code and unit number, if any). If the visas can not be delivered to you due to incorrect or incomplete mailing address, the visa package may be returned to Viet Nam Embassy, and you will need to pay for shipping again.  
  8. For cruise travel: if all the ports are in the territory of Viet Nam, then you only need a single entry visa. If you leave Viet Nam maritime area, go to another port in another country, and then return to Viet Nam, then a multiple entries visa will be required.
  9. For transit: You do not need a visa if you just transit and stay in the airport before taking the connecting flight. If you leave the airport to go to the city before taking the next flight, you will need to apply for a visa.
  10. The best way to contact Viet Nam Embassy about your visa application is by email visa@vietnamembassy.ca because our phone system is often overloaded with phone calls.
