Do Canadians Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Canada is not on Vietnam's visa exemption list, so a visa is required for mainland travel regardless of trip length or purpose. The one exception is Phu Quoc Island: flying there directly and staying only on the island allows visa-free entry for up to 30 days. Any trip involving Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, or the mainland requires the e-visa.
Emergency Processing Fees
| Processing Package | Fee (single-entry, government fee included) | Suitable For |

| Urgent 1 day | 110 USD | Flight tomorrow |
| Urgent 5 hours | 125 USD | Traveling later today or tomorrow |
| Urgent 30–60 minutes | 215 USD | Flying within the next few hours |

Already Applied and Still "Processing"?
Don't submit a second application — this tends to create confusion and add delay rather than solve anything. Provide your existing application code and registered email to request a speed-up on the application you already have, which costs less than starting over. See Vietnam e-visa delay support: what to do when evisa.gov.vn is stuck for the full explanation.
The Canada-Vietnam Time Difference
Vietnam is roughly 11–14 hours ahead of Canadian time zones. An application submitted in the evening from Toronto or Vancouver often registers as the following morning in Vietnam — which can work in your favor, landing early in the Vietnamese working day rather than late. If your submission falls on a Canadian Friday evening, keep in mind that Vietnamese government processing runs Monday through Friday and doesn't count weekends toward the standard timeline.
Where the e-Visa Is Accepted
The e-visa is accepted at Vietnam's major international airports — including Hanoi (Noi Bai), Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat), Da Nang, and Cam Ranh — as well as a range of land borders and seaports.
Common Causes of Delay
- Incorrect entry port selected on the application
- A blurry or non-compliant photo
- Passport validity under 6 months remaining
- A name or date mismatch against the passport
- Submitting a duplicate application instead of speeding up an existing one
See our photo requirements guide for the most common single cause of delay.
Our Refund Guarantee
This covers our own processing commitment. It doesn't extend to cases where Vietnamese immigration itself denies an application due to an eligibility or data issue — which is why accurate documents matter as much as speed.

FAQ: Emergency Vietnam Visa from Canada
Do Canadian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Canada is not on Vietnam's visa exemption list. The one exception is flying directly to Phu Quoc Island and staying only there, which allows visa-free entry for up to 30 days.
Can a Canadian get an emergency Vietnam visa for a flight tomorrow?
Yes. Urgent e-visa processing ranges from 30–60 minutes up to a few days, so a flight tomorrow can typically be covered by the 1-day tier at 110 USD.
How much does emergency Vietnam visa processing cost from Canada?
Pricing depends on how much time is available: 90 USD for 3 days, 110 USD for 1 day, 125 USD for 5 hours, and 215 USD for the fastest 30–60 minute tier, all single-entry with the government fee included.
My Vietnam e-visa application is already stuck in "processing" — what should a Canadian traveler do?
Don't submit a new application. Provide the existing application code and registered email to request a speed-up, which costs less than a new application at the same speed.
Is approval guaranteed within the chosen timeframe?
No exact time can be guaranteed, since Vietnamese immigration authorities make the final decision, not the agency. A full refund of the processing fee applies if the committed timeframe isn't met.
