Vietnam eVisa processing typically takes 3 to 5 working days (excluding weekends and holidays) after submitting a complete application and payment. While most are processed in this timeframe, peak seasons (December, February) can cause delays of 7+ working days, so applying at least two weeks in advance is highly recommended.

Chinese citizens can get a Vietnam eVisa valid for up to 90 days, allowing for single of multiple entries for tourism or business.

Do Chinese citizens need proof of onward travel to enter Vietnam?

Extensions may be possible depending on the visa type and Vietnam’s immigration rules, but travelers should apply before their permitted stay expires.
