If you are holding an old Chinese passport and not the e-passport, you can go ahead and apply for a Vietnam e-visa to use for your trip to Vietnam. So how do you apply for the e-Visa? Applying for the e-Visa is easy.

If the Chinese e-passport cannot be used for the application of a Vietnam e-visa, how then can Chinese nationals enter Vietnam? If you are holding an e-passport, your best bet is to apply for a visa from the Vietnamese embassy in China. You just need to schedule an appointment and you’ll be asked to visit

Sure, the Vietnam e-visa is a convenient and easy way to get a visa to Vietnam. Unfortunately, Chinese citizens holding e-passport cannot avail of this visa.

The Vietnam e-visa is one of the latest types of visas that Vietnam has introduced to foreign travelers. Unlike the other visas that you need to apply from a Vietnam embassy, the application of e-visa is done online.

The Chinese e-passport is a new biometric passport that the government of China has issued to its citizens starting in 2012. It’s a special micro-chipped document that contains digitalized biometric information of the passport holder.

Applying for the e-Visa is a pretty straightforward process. You don’t need to be tech-savvy to do it.

The photo requirement should be the same as the requirements for the Vietnam e-visa photo. It must show your face clearly and it should be recent.

Usually, when you apply for a visa on a certain country you’re visiting, you will be asked to provide for a passport-sized photo. But remember that the “passport size” can vary greatly depending on the country you’ll visit and some other factors.

So once you have the e-Visa, you can go ahead and take your flight to Vietnam. Upon arriving at Vietnam, simply go to the passport control so the immigration can stamp your passport and let you enter the country.

So if you will be transiting in Vietnam for more than 24 hours, then you should apply for a Vietnam transit visa ahead of your trip. Thankfully, it’s now possible to apply for the visa online.
