Business people may need to go to Vietnam to conduct business activities, travel, or investigate the market, or invest. In this case, you need to apply for a Vietnam business visa. There are many ways to obtain a Vietnam business visa, including a visa on arrival, applying for a paper visa at the consulate, and applying for an electronic visa. We recommend that you apply for an electronic visa because it is the easiest way and does not require a Vietnamese company guarantee. Visa on arrival and paper visas (applied at the consulate) require a Vietnamese company guarantee.

Apply for a paper business visa at the consulate

If you choose to apply for a paper business visa at the consulate, you need to follow the steps below:

First, you need a Vietnamese guarantee company to apply for a visa approval document for you (this process may take 7-15 days). You cannot handle this through an agent. The approval letter will specify which Vietnamese consulate you need to go to to collect your visa (the Vietnamese company can help you choose).

After receiving the visa approval letter, prepare the following materials:

• The original passport
• Two photos
• The completed entry and exit application form (NA1 FORM)
• US dollar cash (for visa payment)
• Take the above materials to the designated consulate to collect your visa.
