📌 Quick guide for Chinese travelers
Use this page as a practical starting point before you submit a Vietnam visa request. It covers visa status, eVisa options, required files, cost and processing guidance, and the most common mistakes Chinese travelers should avoid.
🛂 Do Chinese citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Chinese citizens normally need a valid visa to enter Vietnam for tourism, business visits, family visits, or other short stays. This also applies to children traveling on Chinese passports.
Important note: travel rules can depend on nationality, document type, route, and timing. Use the passport nationality shown in the traveler’s actual passport when checking requirements.
💻 Vietnam eVisa for Chinese passport holders
The eVisa route is the most common online option for Chinese travelers who want digital approval before departure. It can be suitable for many tourism and short business itineraries when the passport details, portrait photo, travel dates, and entry port are entered correctly.
✈️ Is Visa on Arrival an option for Chinese travelers?
For most planned trips, Chinese travelers should treat the eVisa route as the main online option. Airport-only approval-letter support may be reviewed in limited urgent or special situations, but travelers should contact support before relying on this route.
Use eVisa for planned travel
It is usually clearer when the arrival date, exit date, and port of entry are already known.
Ask first for urgent travel
If the flight is very close, send the passport nationality, travel date, and arrival airport so support can review available options.
📄 What Chinese travelers should prepare
Prepare clean files before submission. Small document issues are a common reason for delay, especially when the photo is blurry, the passport scan is cropped, or the travel details do not match the actual itinerary.
A clear color image or PDF showing the full personal information page and all four corners.
A recent front-facing portrait with a plain background and clearly visible face.
Entry date, exit date, arrival port, and contact email used for follow-up.
Name, date of birth, passport number, and nationality should match the passport exactly.
💳 Vietnam visa cost and processing time for Chinese citizens
Instead of showing a long price table, Vietnam GoEasy uses the sidebar Fee Checker so Chinese travelers can estimate the service total based on nationality, number of applicants, visa type, and processing speed.
- Choose China as the passport nationality.
- Select the number of applicants and visa type.
- Select the processing speed that fits your travel date.
- Review the estimated service total before applying.
Timing reminder: normal handling should be started early. If travel is today, this week, or during a weekend/holiday, contact support before selecting a standard option.
✅ How Chinese travelers can request eVisa assistance
Check fee and route
Use the sidebar Fee Checker and confirm whether regular, urgent, or emergency support is more suitable.
Submit traveler details

Upload documents
Attach the passport bio page, portrait photo, and travel details requested by the form.
Review before payment

🛃 Where can Chinese travelers enter Vietnam with an eVisa?
An eVisa is not a “use-anywhere” document. Travelers should use the eligible airport, land border, or seaport shown in the approved visa details. A mismatch can create boarding or arrival problems.
🏛️ Embassy or consulate route in China
Chinese citizens who need a passport-sticker visa, long-stay category, special business handling, or non-standard case may contact the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in China. This route is separate from Vietnam GoEasy’s online assistance flow.
When it may help
Special visa categories, long-stay plans, diplomatic or official situations, or cases where online eVisa support is not enough.
Plan ahead
Check appointment rules, document requirements, and closure days because both Vietnamese and Chinese holidays may affect handling.
🛬 Arrival Fast Track for Chinese travelers
Arrival Fast Track does not replace a visa, but it can make the airport arrival process smoother where service is available. It may be helpful for families, VIP guests, business travelers, or travelers who prefer guided arrival support.
Good for close schedules
Useful when the traveler wants more support after landing, especially at busy arrival times.
Book separately
Fast Track is an add-on airport service and should be selected separately from visa assistance.
🧭 Tips to avoid common mistakes
- Apply early whenever possible instead of waiting until the flight is close.
- Use the exact name order and passport number from the Chinese passport.
- Check that entry and exit dates cover the full stay.
- Choose the correct arrival port before submitting.
- Upload readable files; avoid screenshots that cut off passport corners.
- Keep the order reference and the email used for submission.
