Do Canadians Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Canadian citizens need a visa before entering Vietnam, for tourism, business, or family visits — no visa-exemption agreement exists between the two countries.
For the shorter overview plus Canada-specific time zone guidance (useful if you're applying from Vancouver vs. Toronto), see our companion guide: do Canadians need a visa for Vietnam.
e-Visa Details — Getting This Right Matters
Both single and multiple-entry are standard options — selected at application, for an additional $25 for multiple-entry. It's not restricted to certain applicants. And validity is 30 or 90 days, your choice, at the same price — not limited to 30 days as some sources state. If your trip includes leaving and re-entering Vietnam (a side trip to Cambodia or Laos, for example), select multiple-entry when you apply — it can't be added afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vietnam e-visa for Canadians single or multiple entry?
Both options are available. You select single or multiple-entry at the time of application — multiple-entry adds $25, and is a standard option, not restricted or requiring special approval.
How long is the e-visa valid for Canadian citizens?
30 or 90 days, your choice, at the same price — there's no cost difference, so 90 days is the safer default if your trip length isn't fully fixed yet.
What does a Vietnam e-visa cost for Canadians?
Standard processing is $50 total, government fee included. Urgent tiers range from $90 up to $215 for the fastest, 30–60 minutes.
Does a past overstay affect a Canadian's application?
This is a case-by-case eligibility question, not a simple checklist item — if this applies to your situation, it's worth discussing directly rather than assuming either way.
How is this different from asking whether Canadians need a visa at all?
