There are now 35 more countries that’s been added to the Vietnam e-Visa program. This includes Hong Kong (China) and Macau (China).
The Vietnam e-Visa is an electronic travel authorization which allows travelers to stay in Vietnam for up to 30 days, single entry. China is one of the eligible countries that may apply for this type of visa (Contry list for Vietnam e-visa). What makes this type of e-visa better than visa on arrival is that you can cut queues at the visa office to pick up your visa, which makes it more appealing for Chinese tourists. There is also no need to go to the embassy or consulate since you may apply for this visa online. All you need is a smart tablet, phone or computer with WiFi and you are all set. The e-Visa has reduced the time it takes to process paperwork too and therefore it usually does not take as long time to receive the visa.
Do note that all Chinese citizens must acquire a visa before entering Vietnam. This rule applies to Chinese nationals who hold passports for Macau or Hong Kong as well. The Vietnam tourist e-visa for Chinese citizens is easy to get for travelers who hold both Chinese, Hong Kong or Macau passports. Once the e-visa has been approved of, an email will be sent with a PDF. Make sure that you print out the e-visa so you can present it to the border control once you’ve landed in Vietnam.
Travelers who has dual citizenship must take care to fill in the e-visa application form to Vietnam from China using their Chinese passport. They must also remember to bring the correct travel documents with them on their trip. The passport that was used to travel to Vietnam must correlate with the one that was used during the e-Visa application, or else the e-visa will be deemed invalid.
Chinese tourists who are going to Vietnam for leisure purposes can enter the country on a single-entry visa, which will allow them to stay for up to 30 days. For those who wishes to enter the country due to other purposes, or who wants to make multiple visits to Vietnam, should apply for a multiple-entry visa, which allows Chinese citizens to stay in the country for up to 6 months. If you want to stay longer 30 days or want a multiple entry visa, please choose visa on arrival option instead of e-visa (30 days, single entry)
When you fill out the e-visa application form, you will be asked to write the planned dates of travel and duration of the visit on the application form, as well as the address of your accommodation in Vietnam. After you have submitted the form, it should take no longer than 3 business days to receive your e-visa. However, there have been cases of delays, so it is always recommended to apply for your e-visa at least 7 business days prior to arrival. This will ensure that you get your e-visa on time and you will not have to stress about it.
As with every nationality, there are a few requirements that one must fulfill before being able to apply for the e-visa. For instance, citizens from China must apply with a traditional Chinese passport. That means, you cannot apply for an e-Visa using your new Chinese e-passports (passport with nine dash line map). Secondly, applicants must meet the minimum requirements for Chinese citizens. Here is a list of the following requirements that you must be able to fill out in your application form:
