Visa Applications

The visa category you enter Vietnam on determines what you may lawfully do here and what you can convert to later. Entering on a tourist visa and then working is a common mistake with real consequences.

Wise Counsel advises on the correct visa category for your situation and prepares applications that will not be refused on procedural grounds.

What we help with

• Advising which visa category matches your intended activity in Vietnam
• Business, investor, work, student and family visit visa applications
• Arranging the sponsoring entity and its supporting documents
• Applying for visa approval letters and entry clearance
• Advising on visa exemption eligibility and its limits
• Converting between visa categories without leaving the country where permitted
• Advising on refusals and how to address the underlying reason
• Coordinating visa applications for accompanying family members

Choose the category before you enter, not after. Converting is possible in some cases but not all, and the wrong entry can cost you months.
