Until recently, Vietnam has been taking restrictive measures to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the procedures for applying for an business visa have become longer and more complex than the normal legal provisions outlined in the Act on Entry, Exit, Transit and Residence in Vietnam (No. 47/2014/QH13) ("Law") promulgated on 16 June 2014.
However, considering that the epidemic has been basically under control, the Vietnamese government decided to lift restrictions on entry policy and restore the entry and exit policy in the official letter No. 1606/VPCP-QHQT of March 15, 2022. Therefore, from March 15, 2022, the law continues to apply in accordance with its original provisions.
According to law, foreigners applying for business visa need to meet the following conditions:
1) As a business partner, perform business-related tasks in Vietnam;
2) Hold a valid international travel document, such as a passport or equivalent certificate;
3) Guarantee by a Vietnamese company, the company must go through the procedures for guaranteed entry at the Vietnam Immigration Bureau.
Generally speaking, the pass rate of applicants who meet the conditions is relatively high. Of course, in addition to meeting the conditions, the applicant also needs to follow the prescribed procedures.
Application for Vietnam Business Visa Program for
When a foreigner meets the necessary conditions, the guarantee agency/enterprise that legally registers and operates in Vietnam needs to prepare guarantee documents for foreigners at the Vietnam Immigration Bureau to guarantee the entry of foreigners.
If the Vietnam Immigration Bureau ("VID") does not approve the entry of the foreigner, they will reply in writing and clearly inform the reason. If the application is approved, the VID will issue an entry letter, allowing foreigners to enter Vietnam.
According to the law, VID should reply within 5 working days after receiving the application for Business Visa , however the period in practice may be longer.

, the foreigner can
(1) apply to the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in the country to issue a business visa and attach a copy of the entry letter;
(2) directly apply for an business visa at the border gate of the international airport, and provide a copy of the entry letter.
Although the visa approval rate in Vietnam is very high, this does not mean that you will not be rejected. In fact, the visa home has compiled several reasons for everyone that you may be rejected.
(I) The materials are incomplete
If the materials submitted when applying are incomplete, the embassy and consulate will definitely ask you to submit the materials or directly refuse to sign the visa. Therefore, you must be careful when submitting the materials. The materials you should prepare must be prepared, and do not treat them with a lucky mentality.
(II) The materials are fake or concealed.
When the embassy reviews, it will confirm whether the materials submitted by the applicant are true or not. If the material is considered untrue, it will be denied 100%. Intentional or unintentional concealment of information from the embassy can also lead to direct visa refusal.
(III) In-service certificate does not match the facts
The applicant's good work will give the visa officer a good impression. The on-the-job certificate you submit must be consistent with other matching materials. Remember to fill in the information content in the on-the-job certificate truthfully, such as the company address, contact information, etc.
A real case happened last week. The applicant Mr. Li found a so-called agency on the Taobao platform. Under the guidance of the agency, he prepared a series of information to apply for Vietnam business visa . However, he was rejected because the guarantee company contacted by the agency did not match the company information he filled in, which even affected his second application.
Therefore, the visa home here reminds everyone that if you want to apply for a visa but don’t understand or are not clear about the policy, don’t look for three-no institutions at will, otherwise it will be a small matter to delay time and important work will be a big matter.
