Vietnam Student Visa

International students enrolled in an institution in Vietnam should contact the institution's international office and request a copy of the Vietnam Immigration Department approval letter.

Students send along with the visa application form, original passport, visa fee and other supporting documents. If there is no Vietnamese government office in your country, it is important to inform the authorities so that they can prepare a visa approval letter indicating where you can receive and pay for your student visa on arrival in Vietnam.

• Processing time for a student visa can take 6-12 weeks from the date of application.
• You can bring your partner and children.
• The passport remains at the embassy/consulate throughout the visa process. 
• Students can work as interns in Vietnam without a work permit.
