Canadian citizens can choose from three different types of Vietnamese business visas: electronic visa, visa on arrival, and paper visa. The application process and requirements for each visa type are different. Let’s take a look at the differences:

• Paper visas: Also require a guarantee from a Vietnamese company. The difference is that you need to go to the Vietnamese consulate in person to apply for a paper visa. Vietnamese companies must provide relevant guarantee documents, and the entire application process is more cumbersome.
• Visa on arrival: A Vietnamese company is required as a guarantor. You must first obtain a guarantee document from a Vietnamese company, and then go through the visa on arrival procedure when you arrive at the Vietnam airport. This visa is suitable for situations where you have a Vietnamese company partner.
• Electronic visa: does not require a guarantee from a Vietnamese company. Applicants can apply directly online and the entire process is completed online. This visa is suitable for those situations where a guarantee from a Vietnamese company is not required.

In general, if you do not have a Vietnamese company as a guarantor, an electronic visa will be the most convenient option. If you have a Vietnamese company partner or plan to work in Vietnam for a long time, you can consider a visa on arrival or a paper visa.
