Simple Steps to Apply for Your Vietnam Family Visit Visa

The application process varies slightly depending on whether the family member you are sponsoring is currently abroad or already in Vietnam. eVisavietnam247 is here to guide you through every step.

Case 1: The Sponsored Person is Outside Vietnam

If your family member is currently outside Vietnam, the sponsor in Vietnam will initiate the process.

1. Apply for an Entry Approval Letter: The sponsor submits an application to the Immigration Department or Provincial Police Department in Vietnam. Required documents include copies of both the sponsored person's passport and the sponsor's passport/visa/temporary residence card, along with proof of family relationship (e.g., birth certificate, marriage certificate). If the sponsor is a foreign national, company documents are also required.

   Note: Documents issued outside Vietnam must be notarized, translated, and legally authenticated.

2. Application Submission & Processing: Once all documents are prepared, the sponsor submits them to the designated Immigration Authority in Vietnam. An appointment receipt will be issued. The processing time for the entry approval letter is typically around 5 working days.

   Upon approval, a scanned copy of the entry approval letter will be sent to the sponsored person abroad, allowing them to proceed with visa issuance.

3. Visa Issuance (Visa Stamping): The sponsored person then presents the following documents at the designated Vietnamese Embassy, Consulate abroad, or an international border gate in Vietnam:
   • Two passport-sized photos (4x6 cm, white background)
   • Original passport
   • Printed copy of the complete entry approval letter
   • Vietnam entry and exit application form

   The visa will then be stamped into their passport, completing the process.

Case 2: The Sponsored Person is Currently in Vietnam

If your family member is already in Vietnam, the sponsor will apply for their visa conversion or extension.

1. Prepare Required Documents: The sponsor gathers the necessary documents. These typically include the original passport of the sponsored person, copies of the sponsor's passport/visa/temporary residence card, and notarized copies of documents proving the family relationship (e.g., birth certificate, marriage certificate). If the sponsor is a foreign national, company documents are also needed.

   Note: Documents issued outside Vietnam must be notarized, translated, and legally authenticated.

2. Submit the Application: The sponsor or a representative submits the complete application to the Immigration Department or the Immigration Division of the Provincial Police Department where the sponsor resides or their company is headquartered. A receipt will be provided, indicating the date for collecting the results.
3. Collect the Visa: On the scheduled date, the sponsor or representative returns to the submission location to collect the approved Vietnam Family Visit Visa.
