Article 19 – Grant of Visas at the Immigration Management Agency or Competent Agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Under Vietnam’s Immigration Law, visas can be issued not only at border gates or overseas embassies but also directly at the Immigration Management Agency or at the competent agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). This provides flexibility for foreigners who need to enter Vietnam for tourism, business, work, or other permitted purposes.

📌 Visa Issuance Procedures

1. Submission of Application

   • Foreigners must be invited or guaranteed by an organization, enterprise, or individual in Vietnam.

   • The guarantor submits the visa application dossier to the Immigration Management Agency or MOFA.

2. Verification & Approval

   • The Immigration Agency or MOFA verifies the submitted documents, purpose of entry, and applicant’s eligibility.

   • Applications that comply with legal requirements will be processed promptly.

3. Visa Issuance

   • Once approved, visas are issued directly to the foreigner.

   • In special cases, the agency may notify overseas Vietnamese representative missions to grant visas on their behalf.

⚖️ Legal Compliance & Restrictions
