VIETNAM VISA FOR CANADIAN CITIZENS INSTRUCTIONS & TIPS

Canada is not included in Vietnam visa exemption list. Therefore every Canadian passport holder needs to apply for a visa prior to their travel to be allowed entry into Vietnam. Thanks to the open-door policy of Vietnamese Government to boost tourism, it is much easier these days for those from Canada to apply visa for Vietnam. Currently, there are two ways to handle your Vietnam visa application:

Applying for visa at Vietnam Embassy (traditional way, visa picked up at Vietnam Embassies) and,
Apply for Visa on arrival www.visatovietnam.net.vn (visa picked up at Vietnam International Airports).
In order to get visa to Vietnam, you may choose one of the two options above. Please keep in mind that these two options are quite different in terms of application procedure and applicable applicants.
Travelers should note that while visa on arrival is more convenient and less time-consuming, it is applicable for those who travel to Vietnam by air only. So, if you plan to travel to Vietnam by land or sea, you should apply for a visa at the nearest Vietnam embassy.
