Getting Vietnam Visa For 6 Months Or 1 Year


A foreigner can get a 1-year or 6-month long-term Vietnam visa. However, under the new rules of the state agency, a 06-month or 1-year visa is only issued for the purpose of business or employment.

American nationals can obtain 01-year travel visas, but each time enter Vietnam, must only stay not more than 03 months. In excess of 03 months, such passengers must extend their visa or make an exit and enter again.

A long-term Vietnam visa can be gotten with the following 02 ways:

-          For the visa on arrival, the passenger will stamp the visa at Vietnam Embassy abroad or at Vietnam International Airport.

-          For the 1-year visa in Vietnam, which means that the passenger enters Vietnam, currently resides in Vietnam, and demands the long-term visa.

Each type of visa is gotten with a different way. Therefore, you should let us know your specific choice before obtaining a visa. We introduce visa procedures and the way of getting a visa as follows:

  1. The procedure of 6-month or 1-year Vietnam visa on arrival

To get a long-term visa in this way, you are in Vietnam or abroad. However, before obtaining the visa, you are compulsory to select a place for visa stamping such as at any international airports: Noi Bai, Da Nang and Tan Son Nhat or a Vietnam Embassy.

If you have a company in Vietnam as a guarantor, please let us know in order for us to prepare documents for the 01-year visa so that such company signs and affixes the company seal.

To get a visa, please send us the following information:

-          The passenger’s passport size photos

-          Expected date of Vietnam entry

-          A place for visa stamping

-          Visa processing time: 5-7 working days

Note:

-          You will have to pay the visa stamping fee of $ 135 at the airport or the embassy

-          You can stay in Vietnam during 01 year

-          The cost of our services is likely to change, please contact us for details.

-          When going to the embassy for visa stamping, you need bring 02 4x6-size photos with white background

-          You enter Noi Bai or Danang airport  please use our additional reception service at the airport, if doing, you would have our help for making procedures faster, and less prone to airport securitys harassment.

-          If you are in Vietnam, its compulsory for you to make an exit out of Vietnam and back entry for using the visa on arrival.

-          For Chinese or India nationals, we still process the 1- year visa on arrival

  1. II. The procedure for the 1-year visa issued in Vietnam

For the 1-year visa in Vietnam, it is only applied to persons entering recently at Tan Son Nhat or Moc Bai, border gates in the South.

Entry visa for the last time must appear the letter symbols of DN or LĐ.

Middle East or Africa nationals must have a Work permit for obtaining the 1-year visa.

1-year visa records as blow:

-          Original passport and visa of validity

-          Form NA5 with the companys seal and signature

-          Notarized Business Registration Certificate copy.

-          Visa processing time: 5-7 working days

Note:

-          You are not required to pay the visa stamping fee of 135$

-          It is not compulsory for you to make an exit out of Vietnam for the 1-year visa

-          If you don’t have any companies as a guarantor, we still issue the 1-year visa for you as usual

-          For Chinese or Indian nationals, we still issue the 1-year visa

 

We can issue a visa on arrival or grant a new 1-year visa in Vietnam for nationalities: Europe, Americas, Oceania, and Asia except the Middle East.

Longer Visa

I am Australian and my wife and daughter are Vietnamese nationals ( they both live in Vietnam ) I travel allot for work but generally base myself in VN on tourist visas when not working.

My wife and I have an Australian marriage certificate as we where married their 4 years ago. My daughter is well into school now so travel for my wife is getting harder to be away from our daughter.

My wife and i both hold UK ancestry visa's in our specific passports as I work in the uk, but would like to spend more time with my family in Vietnam.

Can I apply for a 1 year o longer multi entry visa ( up to 3 years as I will need to renew my passport in 4 years )

It would need to be multi entry as I may be away for up to 3 months at a time with work but then return to Vietnam for a month or so with my wife and daughter.

My wife owns her property, but is dependant on myself.

If I can I may register later to work from Vietnam as a consultant but I need to review what is required apart from pay / declaring taxable income.

Can you please advise some options for myself on the above please if better to apply if I can for a one year or 3 years if possible and what is required.

Kind regards

Hello,

I was wondering about the one-year tourist visa and how the 3 month limit works. If I arrive in Vietnam, and leave the country and return before 3 months have passed, do I have another three months stay from the date I re-enter Vietnam? or do I have to leave at exactly 3 months from when I arrived? thank you
