Incoming students will need a Business (DN) Visa (Single-Entry) which allows any person to enter Vietnam for interning or working up to 90 days. Please let us know if you would like it changed to multiple-entry. The visa application requirements and procedures are different depending on students’ nationalities, however, generally you will be asked to provide the following documents when applying for a visa at any foreign embassies or consulates of Vietnam (click here for the Directory of foreign embassies and consulates of Vietnam):

a. Original passport valid for a minimum of 6 months at the date of entry and with at least one blank page available for the Vietnam visa

c. Passport photo(s) taken within the last 01 year and 4 x 6cm in size

d. An official letter of acceptance/invitation from the Vietnamese host school/company
