Vietnam Visa for Canadian Citizens (2026): eVisa Requirements, Fees & Processing Time

Direct answer

Vietnam processes eVisas Mon–Fri 8:00–18:00 VNT — the previous night in Canada. Key rule: for a Thursday YYZ flight, submit the 1-Day tier before midnight ET Wednesday night. 1-Hour cutoff: 07:00 ET / 06:00 CT / 05:00 MT / 04:00 PT. Weekend: 04:00 ET Sat/Sun.

YYZ/YVR/YYC via Seoul (ICN): entry port = SGN (HCMC), HAN (Hanoi), or DAD (Da Nang) — never ICN. Vietnam arrival date = Saturday if departing Thursday — not departure date.

Watch: Canadian travelers who got Vietnam eVisa approved before their YYZ or YVR flight

Verified reviews • 1-Hour approvals, Speed Up resolutions, Friday night trap cases

The Canadian Timezone Reality: Vietnam Processes Yesterday's Night

Vietnam Time (VNT, UTC+7) is 11 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time (summer) and 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (winter). Vietnamese immigration processes eVisas Monday to Friday 8:00–18:00 VNT. For Canadian travelers, this window falls entirely the previous night in Canada.

The key rule every Canadian needs to know

For a Thursday departure from YYZ: submit the 1-Day tier before midnight ET on Wednesday night. Vietnamese immigration processes it during Thursday VNT business hours and delivers before Thursday check-in. Missing Wednesday midnight means needing a faster (more expensive) tier before 07:00 ET Thursday morning, or a Boarding Letter.

Tier	Speed Up	New app	ET (Toronto)	CT (Winnipeg)	MT (Calgary)	PT (Vancouver)	VNT
3-Day	USD 65	USD 90	midnight	23:00	22:00	21:00	11:00
2-Day	USD 80	USD 105	midnight	23:00	22:00	21:00	11:00
1-Day ★	USD 85	USD 110	midnight	23:00	22:00	21:00	11:00
5-Hour	USD 100	USD 125	02:00	01:00	midnight	23:00	13:00
2.5-Hour	USD 130	USD 155	04:00	03:00	02:00	01:00	15:00
1-Hour	USD 160	USD 185	07:00	06:00	05:00	04:00	18:00
Weekend	USD 210	USD 230	04:00 Sat/Sun	03:00 Sat/Sun	02:00 Sat/Sun	01:00 Sat/Sun	15:00 Sat/Sun
Boarding Letter	WhatsApp 24/7		24/7	24/7	24/7	24/7	24/7

★ 1-Day most popular for Canadians. ET = Eastern (Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal). CT = Central (Winnipeg). MT = Mountain (Calgary/Edmonton). PT = Pacific (Vancouver/Victoria). Saskatchewan: no daylight saving, stays CT year-round. Speed Up deducts USD 25 govt fee. Do not reapply if stalled. Weekend results 16:00–18:00 VNT.

Apply new eVisa — from USD 90

The Friday Night Trap: Why Saturday Flights Need Special Attention

The most common timing mistake for Canadian travelers: submitting a 1-Day tier on Friday night for a Saturday departure, then discovering it will not be processed. Here is why.

What happens	1-Day tier submitted Friday 23:00 ET → arrives VNT Saturday morning → Vietnamese immigration closed on weekends → not processed → delivered earliest Monday VNT → too late for Saturday departure.
Correct paths for Saturday departure	Option 1: Weekend tier — USD 230 new / USD 210 Speed Up. Cutoff 04:00 ET Saturday. Results 16:00–18:00 VNT Saturday. Option 2: 1-Hour tier before 07:00 ET Saturday — USD 185 new / USD 160 Speed Up. Option 3: After 07:00 ET Saturday — Boarding Letter in 30 min via WhatsApp, eVisa before landing.

Same applies to Sunday departures: submit Weekend tier before 04:00 ET Sunday, or 1-Hour before 07:00 ET Sunday.

ICN and NRT Entry Port Error: Most Common for YYZ and YVR

Canadian flights to Vietnam from Toronto (YYZ) and Vancouver (YVR) typically transit through Seoul Incheon (ICN) via Korean Air, or Tokyo Narita (NRT) via Air Canada or Japan Airlines. The entry port field must be the Vietnamese airport — not the transit hub.

Canadian route	Wrong	Correct	Destination
YYZ / YVR via Seoul (ICN) → Ho Chi Minh City	ICN	SGN	HCMC (Tan Son Nhat)
YYZ / YVR via Seoul (ICN) → Hanoi	ICN	HAN	Hanoi (Noi Bai)
YVR via Tokyo (NRT) → Ho Chi Minh City	NRT	SGN	HCMC (Tan Son Nhat)
YUL via Paris (CDG) or Frankfurt (FRA) → Hanoi or HCMC	CDG/FRA	HAN/SGN	Hanoi or HCMC
Any CA city via any transit → Da Nang	transit	DAD	Da Nang International

Rule: open booking confirmation → Vietnam-landing segment → "Arrives" IATA code = entry port. VietnamVisaEasy checks entry port before every agency submission.

Four Canadian Scenarios: Which Path Applies to You

A	Flight in 4+ days, applying tonight	3-Day USD 90 or 1-Day USD 110. Submit any weekday before midnight ET. Lowest cost, standard urgency. Apply now.
B	Already applied on evisa.gov.vn, have Reference Code (E260705...)	Speed Up only. Do not reapply. WhatsApp Reference Code + registered email + flight number. USD 25 deducted.
C	Flight is Saturday or Sunday	Weekend tier. Cutoff 04:00 ET Sat/Sun. USD 230 new / USD 210 Speed Up. Or 1-Hour before 07:00 ET. After 07:00 ET: Boarding Letter.
D	Past all cutoffs / at YYZ, YVR, YYC, or YUL airport	Boarding Letter 24/7. ~30 min. Present to check-in supervisor (not counter agent). eVisa before landing. WhatsApp now.

Vietnam Arrival Date vs Canadian Departure Date

The second most common error for Canadians after entry port: entering the Canadian departure date instead of the Vietnam arrival date. Canada–Vietnam flights cross the International Date Line and multiple time zones.

YYZ Thursday evening departure	Departs Toronto Thursday 21:00 ET → Seoul Friday 23:30 KST → HCMC Saturday 05:30 VNT. Entry date = Saturday (Vietnam time).
YVR Friday evening departure	Departs Vancouver Friday 23:00 PT → Seoul Sunday 05:00 KST → Hanoi Sunday 08:00 VNT. Entry date = Sunday (Vietnam time).
How to get the correct date	Open booking confirmation → Vietnam-landing segment → "Arrives" column → date shown in Vietnam local time. Enter in DD/MM/YYYY on eVisa form.

YUL (Montreal) routes via Paris or Frankfurt: typically arrive 1 day after Canadian departure with no Date Line crossing, but confirm the "Arrives" date on the Vietnam-landing segment regardless.

Application Requirements for Canadian Travelers

Field	Requirement	Common CA mistake
Portrait photo	JPEG only. White background, no glasses, face 70%+ of frame, under 2MB. iPhone: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible.	HEIC format from iPhone — silently triggers Amendment Required
Passport scan	JPEG, full page + MRZ visible, all corners, under 2MB. Adobe Scan or CamScanner preferred over camera photo.	HEIC format, cropped MRZ, flash glare on laminate
Full legal name	All given names from passport MRZ second line — every middle name, no abbreviations.	Omitting middle name — #1 name error for Canadians
Entry port	SGN, HAN, DAD, PQC, or CXR from "Arrives" column of Vietnam-landing segment.	ICN or NRT (transit hub, not Vietnamese airport)
Entry date	Vietnam arrival date DD/MM/YYYY. Typically 1–2 days after Canadian departure.	Using Canadian departure date — mismatch caught at check-in
Validity	90 days same price as 30 days. Always choose 90.	Choosing 30-day — no benefit, less flexibility

Frequently asked questions

What is the ET cutoff for Vietnam eVisa from Canada?

1-Hour: 07:00 ET (06:00 CT / 05:00 MT / 04:00 PT). 1-Day/3-Day: midnight ET (prev night). 5-Hour: 02:00 ET. 2.5-Hour: 04:00 ET. Weekend: 04:00 ET Sat/Sun. After cutoffs: Boarding Letter ~30 min via WhatsApp +84 947 754 252.

What entry port do Canadians put on Vietnam eVisa flying via Seoul?

Never ICN. Entry port = Vietnamese airport where plane lands. YYZ/YVR via ICN to HCMC: SGN. To Hanoi: HAN. To Da Nang: DAD. Open booking confirmation, find Vietnam-landing segment "Arrives" IATA code. ICN is Seoul — not Vietnamese. Entering ICN triggers silent Amendment Required.

What is the Friday night trap for Canadian Vietnam visa?

Submitting a 1-Day tier after midnight ET Friday for a Saturday flight: Vietnamese immigration is closed on weekends, so it processes Monday at earliest — too late. Saturday departure options: Weekend tier before 04:00 ET Saturday (USD 230), or 1-Hour before 07:00 ET Saturday (USD 185), or Boarding Letter after 07:00 ET Saturday.

My Vietnam eVisa is stalled and my YYZ flight is tomorrow — what do I do?

Do not reapply. Check status at evisa.gov.vn/e-visa/search with Reference Code (E260705...). Speed Up via WhatsApp +84 947 754 252: Reference Code + registered email + flight number. If Amendment Required: free Path B correction + priority resubmit. 1-Day before midnight ET tonight, 1-Hour before 07:00 ET tomorrow.

What is the Vietnam entry date for a Thursday YYZ departure?

Not Thursday. YYZ Thursday evening → Seoul Friday → HCMC Saturday morning VNT. Entry date = Saturday. Open booking confirmation, find Vietnam-landing segment "Arrives" column. That date in DD/MM/YYYY = entry date on eVisa.

What is the PT cutoff for urgent Vietnam eVisa from Vancouver?

1-Hour from Vancouver: 04:00 PT. 2.5-Hour: 01:00 PT. 5-Hour: 23:00 PT (prev night). 1-Day/3-Day: 21:00 PT (prev evening). Weekend: 01:00 PT Saturday or Sunday. After cutoffs: Boarding Letter via WhatsApp, eVisa before landing.

Does Saskatchewan follow CT or MT for Vietnam visa cutoffs?

Saskatchewan does not observe daylight saving and stays on CST (UTC–6) year-round. In summer when most of Canada is on EDT/CDT/MDT, Saskatchewan aligns with MT (UTC–6 = MDT). In winter Saskatchewan aligns with CT (UTC–6 = CST). Use the CT column in the cutoff table during summer months, and CT column in winter — Saskatchewan cutoffs are the same as CT year-round.

VietnamVisaEasy is a private licensed travel agency that has processed urgent Vietnam eVisa applications for Canadian travelers departing from Toronto (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Calgary (YYC), Montreal (YUL), Edmonton (YEG), and Ottawa (YOW) since 2010. Last updated August 4, 2026.
