To obtain your visa approval letter, have your visa agency or representative submit the necessary documents to the Vietnam Immigration Department in Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Da Nang. Your visa agency or representative will receive an appointment letter to obtain the visa letter of approval once your dossiers have been verified to be complete and legitimate.
The letter must then be scanned and emailed to you by your visa agent or representative. Print the approval letter, as well as the completed investor visa application form, after you’ve received it. Present your permission letter, visa application form, and two passport-sized photos at the visa-issuing counter when you arrive in Vietnam’s international airport. Then, to get the visa stamped on your passport, pay the stamping cost in cash.
