I fucked up big time in regards to visa for Vietnam (alien.top)

For some reason I assumed I could go to Vietnam without visa since I have a Canadian passport. Now I’m at airport in Tokyo and don’t know what to do.

Don’t listen to some negative people here - also a Canadian who made the same mistake 4 weeks ago. Vietnam and Cambodia are 2/35 countries I’ve visited requiring this goofy pre-registration, and Vietnam just changed it from VoA recently. It’s baffling.

Unfortunately we had to get a hotel in Brisbane and stay an extra 5 nights until we got approved. Sorry about your experience

Ya I don't get it, the OP already knows about the mistake. With a US passport sometimes you're just entitled and didn't even realize to look up.

I've been to 70 countries and it happened to me last year.. it happens when you're hopping around l!
