For Chinese mainland citizens who need to travel to Vietnam urgently, with approval from the Vietnamese Immigration Department, the Visa on Arrival (VOA) serves as a fast and convenient alternative. The VOA effectively handles emergencies, offering expedited processing, with issuance possible in as little as a few hours to 1-2 business days.
Emergency Visa on Arrival Application Procedure:
1.1. Pre-application Requirements:
A valid Chinese passport with readily available passport details.
A scanned photo of the passport information page.
Payment of the emergency visa service fee is essential to initiate the expedited process.
1.2. Receiving the Approval Letter:
This is a mandatory document required for boarding a flight to Vietnam.
This approval letter is also necessary to obtain the official Vietnamese visa stamp upon arrival in Vietnam.
In cases where departure is planned within the next 4-8 hours or if travel occurs on a weekend, Chinese nationals may opt to seek emergency assistance via 24/7 email support or chat services. The expedited service fee for such urgent situations ranges from $65 to $165, depending on the required processing time.
Key Advantages of Choosing Our Visa on Arrival Include:
Efficiency: Fast processing, ideal for emergencies and last-minute travel.
Convenience: No need to visit an embassy or consulate.
Flexibility: Applicable for both single and multiple entries.
Critical Extension: An important option for those seeking to extend their stay beyond the planned duration.
100% Refund: If you fail to obtain the Vietnamese visa on time, we will refund 100% of the fee.
Additionally, since Chinese citizens require a visa to enter Vietnam, the primary visa types to consider are the tourist visa, which allows a stay of up to 90 days, and the business visa, whose validity varies depending on specific needs. Processing times in China may differ based on the visa choice and application method.
Essential Document Checklist:
A passport valid during and beyond the travel period.
A formally completed visa application form.
Passport-sized photos meeting the specified 4×6 cm size, with a white background, direct facial positioning, and a neutral expression.
Confirmed return flight tickets and hotel reservations.
Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of the visit.
The critical visa approval letter, a mandatory document in the entry visa process.
Apart from traditional visas, Chinese travelers can also opt for an e-visa, valid for single or multiple entries with a maximum validity of 90 days. Under certain conditions, visitors staying for no more than 30 days may enter Phu Quoc Island visa-free.
While not mandatory, travel insurance is strongly recommended as a safety net. It not only provides financial protection but also covers medical expenses and compensation for unforeseen events, ensuring Chinese citizens can enjoy a worry-free journey in Vietnam.
