Urgent Vietnam Visa for Canadian Citizens

Canadian citizens can apply for an urgent Vietnam visa online with fast processing options for last-minute travel. This guide explains how to get a Vietnam visa quickly, how much it costs, what documents you need, which entry points you can use, and how to apply when your flight is approaching.

Fastest way for Canadians to get an urgent Vietnam visa

For Canadian citizens who need a Vietnam visa quickly, an e-visa or a visa on arrival is faster than applying for a visa through the Vietnamese embassy in Canada. An e-visa is applied for online, while a visa on arrival requires an approval process before you receive the visa at a designated Vietnamese international airport.

If your departure is only a few hours or a day away, applying through a private visa agency can be a practical option for urgent processing. An agency can help submit or expedite the application and identify the appropriate processing tier based on how soon you need to travel.

Which urgent processing speed should you pick?

Choose your processing tier based on the number of hours left before your flight, not simply on price. The closer your departure time, the faster processing option you should consider.

More than 3 days before departure

If you still have several business days before your flight, you may not need the fastest urgent option. A standard or lower-cost processing tier can be sufficient if your application has enough time to be processed.

24-72 hours before departure

If your flight is within the next one to three days, consider an expedited processing option rather than waiting for standard processing. This gives you more time to receive your visa before departure.

Under 24 hours or boarding today

If your flight is less than 24 hours away, choose a same-day or super-urgent processing tier according to your remaining time. For departures within only a few hours, contact us first to confirm availability before submitting your application and payment.

For last-minute cases, processing availability can depend on business hours, weekends, holidays, and the accuracy of the information submitted.

Urgent Vietnam visa fees for Canadian citizens

The total cost of a Vietnam e-visa combines the government visa fee with any applicable rush service fee. 

The standard government e-visa fee is currently 35 CAD for a single-entry visa and 70 CAD for a multiple-entry visa. Vietnam e-visas can be issued for up to 90 days, with either single or multiple entry. These government fees do not include urgent processing fees or other optional travel-related services. If you need your visa urgently, the rush service fee depends on how quickly you need the application processed.

You may also explore urgent visa options through the Vietnamese embassy in Canada, although urgent embassy processing may have different fees and procedures. For travelers who need a visa within hours or on short notice, a private visa agency may offer more suitable expedited processing options.

Please refer to the table below for our urgent processing fees. Please note that the price in CAD may be affected by your card issuer’s exchange rate.

Documents & requirements for Canadian applicants

To start an urgent Vietnam visa application, you need a valid Canadian passport and accurate travel information. Because urgent applications leave little time for corrections, check every detail carefully before submitting your application.

Passport: Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your expected entry date into Vietnam and have at least two blank pages available for travel and immigration requirements.

Photo: Provide a clear, recent passport-style photo. Your face should be clearly visible, with sufficient lighting and no accessories that obstruct your facial features.

Entry details: Prepare accurate information about your trip, including Intended entry date, Entry port, Intended exit date, Passport information, entry purpose and companion..

Accuracy requirements

All information in your application should match your passport and travel plans exactly. Incorrect names, passport numbers, dates, or entry information can cause processing problems and may require you to resubmit or correct the application, which can be especially stressful when your flight is approaching.

Single-entry vs Multiple-entry visa: Which fits your trip?

Choose your Vietnam visa type based on how you plan to travel during the visa validity period.

Single-entry visa: A single-entry visa is suitable if you plan to enter Vietnam once and stay for your trip without leaving and re-entering the country.

Multiple-entry visa: Choose a multiple-entry visa if you plan to leave Vietnam and enter again during the visa validity period.

Business and cross-border trips: Multiple-entry can be more suitable for travelers who have business trips involving Vietnam and another country, or who expect to cross the Vietnamese border more than once.
