A kind of online visa called the Vietnam e-visa was formally introduced in February 2017. These days, the Vietnam E-visa offers a quick and efficient alternative to the conventional visa application at the Vietnam Embassy and the visa on arrival option. Nevertheless, not all nations in the globe are eligible for the Vietnam e-visa. Please read the information below to find out whether Canadian residents will be able to apply for a Vietnam e-visa in 2024 and how long it will take to complete an urgent application.

Due of Covid-19’s dangerous spread, the Vietnam E-visa program for bearers of Canadian passports was halted for a considerable amount of time. During that time, Canadians and other nationals were unable to apply for Vietnam E-visas.
