Direct Answer
Canada isn't visa-exempt — a visa is required for any trip. The e-visa genuinely offers both single and multiple entry, up to 90 days, applied for entirely online. Processing exists down to 30–60 minutes, but only during Vietnamese working hours, not a genuine 24/7 service.

Do Canadians Need a Visa?
Yes. Canada is not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list — a visa is required for any trip length, tourism or business.
What the e-Visa Actually Offers
Worth correcting a claim found on some content: the e-visa isn't single-entry only. It genuinely offers:
- Validity: 30 or 90 days, your choice — same price either way
- Entry type: single ($25) or multiple ($50)
Real Options
| Route | Details |
|---|---|
| E-visa | Simplest and most practical for nearly everyone — fully online |
| Visa on Arrival (VOA) | Requires a pre-approval letter in advance, airport-only — genuinely not a walk-up option, and rarely simpler than the e-visa |
| Embassy visa | Applied at the Vietnamese Embassy (Ottawa) or consulates — slower, in-person process |

If It's Genuinely Outside Working Hours
No e-visa tier works outside Vietnamese government working hours, including weekends and holidays. A separate weekend service, or a boarding letter as a last resort, applies outside those hours.
If You Need More Time Once in Vietnam
E-visas can't be extended directly online. A visa run — exiting to a nearby country and applying for a genuinely new e-visa — is the reliable path for most tourists. An in-country extension exists only in limited cases and isn't guaranteed.
What No Agency Can Honestly Guarantee
No service, including us, can guarantee approval — that decision belongs to Vietnamese immigration alone. What we can honestly commit to, if you use our service: a refund on our processing fee if we miss the timeframe you paid for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Canadians need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes — Canada is not on Vietnam's visa-exemption list. A visa is required for any trip length, tourism or business.
Is the e-visa single-entry only for Canadians?
No — this is a common but inaccurate claim. Both single-entry ($25) and multiple-entry ($50) are genuinely available, up to 90 days validity, selected when you apply.
Does urgent processing genuinely work 24/7, including weekends?
No — standard urgent tiers depend on Vietnamese government working hours, Monday to Friday. A separate weekend service exists for genuine Saturday/Sunday needs.
Can Canadians get a visa on arrival?
Generally not a practical option — VOA requires a pre-approval letter arranged before departure and is airport-only. The e-visa is the straightforward route for nearly everyone.
Can the e-visa be extended once in Vietnam?
No, not directly — e-visas have no online extension mechanism. A visa run (exit, then a fresh e-visa) is the reliable path for most tourists.
