We are Canadian citizens planning a long trip to Vietnam from 25 August to 5 November. During this period, we will fly out and fly in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi several times to visit some neighboring countries Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. We are slightly confused which visa we need to apply for my trip. Could we use a business visa for our actual tourist purpose?

Answer

Generally, the type of Vietnam visa that you are granted by Vietnam Immigration Department mostly depends on the duration of your visit. If you just stay in Vietnam for one month, you'll get tourist visa issued. In the case of the duration of your staying is more than one month (for 3 month maximum), business visa will be issued for you. You can apply for a 3 month multiple entry visa for both tourism and business purposes.
