Comprehensive Guide to Applying for a Vietnam Business Visa (DN) in Guangdong: Process, Fees, and Urgent Services

Important Note: Do NOT conduct business activities on a Tourist Visa (DL)! Starting in 2026, Vietnam Customs has tightened inspections regarding the purpose of entry. Holding an incorrect visa type may result in fines, deportation, or even being blacklisted.

This guide provides a detailed analysis of how Guangdong residents can apply for a Vietnam business visa most efficiently and cost-effectively.

I. Core Choices: Two Mainstream Methods for Guangdong Residents in 2026

Currently, Vietnam business visas for Guangdong residents are divided into two main categories: E-visa and Visa Sticker.

II. Detailed Solution (Top Recommendation: Business E-visa)

For most business travelers departing from Shenzhen, the 90-day multiple-entry business E-visa is the optimal choice. It eliminates the tedious process of finding a Vietnamese company for sponsorship.

1. Requirements and Necessary Documents

• Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months with 2 blank pages.

• Digital Photo: 2-inch white background (electronic version, ears visible, no glasses).

• Business Info: Even without an invitation letter, you need to provide a “Contact Company Name” and “Arrival Address” (hotel or office) in Vietnam.

2. Application Process for Guangdong Residents (5 Minutes)

You don’t need to queue at the Guangzhou Consulate. You can submit directly via an authorized platform like Vietnam-Visa.hk to enjoy professional pre-audit services and avoid rejection due to errors.

• Step 1: Online Submission Visit the application link: https://www.vietnam-visa.hk/apply-vietnam-visa/ Select “Business” as the type and choose the validity based on your itinerary (90-day multiple entry is recommended for unexpected meetings).

• Step 2: Upload Documents Upload a clear scan of your passport info page and your photo.

• Step 3: Choose Urgency Level (Optional) Select the processing speed based on your departure time.

• Step 4: Receive E-visa Once approved (PDF file), print 2 copies (color or B&W) to carry with you.

3. Special Reminder: Rules for Mainland China Passports

If you hold a Mainland China passport (E-passport), the printed E-visa cannot be used at the automated gates.

• Action: Upon arrival at a Vietnamese airport, go to the “Landing Visa” counter.

• Procedure: Present your printed E-visa + Passport + 2 photos to receive the red Visa Sticker. This process is included in your paid fee (government fee included); usually, no extra cash is required, but you must have physical photos.
