Flying from Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal to Vietnam takes nearly 20 hours. Behind this long flight lies weeks of careful planning for your business meetings, supply chain audits, or a long-awaited trip to Vietnam. However, when you drag your luggage to the check-in counter at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) or Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and get directly denied boarding because of a visa issue, that sense of helplessness and anxiety is every Chinese business traveler’s worst nightmare in Canada.
You’ve booked your flights, confirmed your hotels, and locked in your meeting schedule—but the review progress from the Vietnam Immigration Department will not speed up even a fraction, no matter if you are a senior executive of a multinational corporation.
What makes it even trickier is that there are simply no same-day or next-day round-trip flights from major Canadian cities to Vietnam. Once you miss your flight due to a visa issue, the resulting disruptions, breached meeting contracts, and potential supply chain breakdowns cause losses that money cannot measure.
As of 2027, Vietnam has not implemented a full visa-free policy for regular Chinese passport holders. Whether you depart from Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal, and whether you are traveling for business, conferences, market research, or contract signing, Chinese citizens must obtain a valid visa before entering Vietnam.
The good news: Since August 15, 2023, Vietnam has fully opened its E-Visa program to citizens of all countries and territories worldwide. Chinese passport holders—whether you are currently in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, or even the US and Japan—can apply entirely online.
If you are traveling exclusively to Phu Quốc and meet the following conditions, you can enjoy up to 30 days of visa-free entry:
Traveling on a direct flight to Phu Quốc International Airport (PQC)
Passport with a minimum validity of 6 months
Holding a return ticket or a ticket to a third destination
⚠️ Important Reminder: If you fly first to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, or other major cities before taking a domestic connection to Phu Quốc, the visa-free exception does not apply. You must obtain a Vietnam visa in advance.
Vietnam reformed its electronic visa system via Resolution No. 127/NQ-CP, and optimizations continue into 2027. Here are the key points Chinese applicants must know:
⚠️ Do Not Mix Up Business and Tourist Visas Vietnamese law strictly defines Business Visas (DN) for business activities such as attending meetings, market surveys, and signing contracts. Engaging in business activities under a Tourist Visa (DL) can lead to fines or deportation. Please ensure you apply for the correct visa category.
Currently, Chinese citizens residing in Canada have three main ways to apply for a Vietnam visa:
If you can only recommend one option, it’s the E-Visa. Since August 2023, the Vietnamese government expanded the E-Visa to citizens of all countries and territories worldwide. The E-Visa supports 90-day single or multiple entry with extreme flexibility.
100% Online Operation: Completed from the comfort of your home, applicable from Vancouver to Toronto.
No Passport Mailing Required: No need to worry about passport loss.
Fewer Port Restrictions: Available at almost all international airports and major land border checkpoints.
Transparent Pricing: No hidden fees.
If you have already submitted your application on the official website but are stuck in “Processing,” or if you received a request for amendment—the official system does not have an “accelerate” button. At that point, professional expediting services are your only solution.
Depending on your departure time, you can choose from the following acceleration plans:
📌 Fastest 30-Minute Option: Extremely urgent situations may qualify for a 30 to 60-minute express service. Please contact us directly to confirm availability.
Required Information: Application code, registered email, date of birth. You can choose to complete approval within 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, or two days.
The Vietnam Immigration Department will send an “Amendment Required” notice—however, this email will not specify which detail needs changing. If you have plenty of time, you can try fixing it yourself. If you keep getting rejected after amending, or if you only have 3 to 4 days left before departure, we strongly recommend contacting us directly. Our professional team will handle the amendment and expediting for you, guaranteeing prompt issuance.

This is one of the most frustrating headaches for Chinese travelers: after receiving your E-Visa PDF, you discover a misspelled name, a wrong passport number, or an incorrect date of birth.
❌ Official Modification Impossible: Once a Vietnam E-Visa is submitted or successfully issued, the official Vietnam Immigration system offers zero online editing capabilities. If the information on the visa does not match your physical passport, that visa becomes completely invalid and must be re-applied.

Holders of Chinese mainland passports (especially newer “E-series” biometric passports) who have successfully obtained a Vietnam E-Visa must still go to the “Visa on Arrival” counter upon arriving at a Vietnamese airport to obtain a free Loose-leaf Visa. Be sure to carry two 2-inch white-background photos. The visa collection is free, but the queue time can sometimes be long.
If your itinerary is restricted strictly to Phu Quốc and you fly directly to Phu Quốc International Airport (PQC), you enjoy a 30-day visa-free stay. However, if any of the following apply, the visa-free policy does not apply and you must pre-apply for a visa:
Your itinerary covers Vietnamese cities outside of Phu Quốc
You transit through other cities to reach Phu Quốc
Your passport validity is less than 6 months
Be sure to apply for the correct visa category. Starting in 2026, Vietnamese customs enforced rigorous requirements on visa accuracy. Engaging in commercial activities under a tourist visa is considered a violation and risks entry obstruction, fines, or deportation.
Once an E-Visa is issued, the port of entry cannot be changed. Please ensure you fill in the actual landing/entry port when applying. All 83 designated ports are compatible with E-Visas.
We offer a 100% Visa Success Guarantee. Whether you choose expedited visas, emergency visas, or information correction services, we will do our utmost to secure your application approval.
If your application is rejected for any reason, we will refund all fees paid in full—via PayPal, returned to the credit card you used for payment within 1 business day.
This guarantee stems from over 10 years of visa processing experience. Our professional team knows Vietnam’s visa policies and requirements inside and out, providing global travelers with the most accurate and effective guidance.
