Does Vietnam visa on arrival work for Chinese citizens transiting in Hong Kong?
I am China passport holder who has a permanent UK residency wishing to travel
to Vietnam. I'm hoping to travel from Beijing either directly or through Hong
Kong. Does Vietnam visa on arrival work in case my flight will depart from
Beijing and transit in Hong Kong?

Answer
Dear Xiaoyu Li,
As you know, Vietnam visa on arrival is NOT applicable for Chinese citizens who depart from China mainland to Vietnam. It works perfectly if you fly into Vietnam from Hong Kong. However, if you fly into Vietnam from Beijing, you won't be able to board the flight with a visa approval letter as far as Vietnam visa on arrival for Chinese is not accepted by the Chinese customs regulations.
In your case, you are pleased to apply for a visa at Vietnam Embassy in Beijing or Vietnam Consulate in Guangzhou, Kunming or Nanning instead.
Best regards,
Vietnam visa Dept.
