Do Vietnamese Overseas need a visa for Vietnam?

If you are a Vietnamese citizen who has acquired foreign nationality, you still need a visa to enter Vietnam, depending on your circumstances. The process of acquiring a Vietnam visa for Vietnamese individuals with foreign nationality is the same as other foreign nationals but may include additional steps.

First, you need to determine if you are eligible for visa exemption under Vietnam's visa policies, which allow certain Vietnamese overseas (known as "Việt kiều") to enter Vietnam without a visa for a specified period. If you do not qualify for a visa exemption, you will need to apply for a visa before departure. Vietnamese overseas can choose from several methods, including:

• Vietnam Electronic Visa (E-Visa): Available for most nationalities, the Vietnam e-visa can be applied online through the Vietnamvisacorp service. To begin, apply for a Vietnam e-visa now!
• Vietnam eVisa: This option allows you to obtain a visa upon arrival in Vietnam at designated airports. You must apply for eVisa from a Vietnamese travel agency before your trip, which you will present upon arrival along with your passport, visa application form, and the visa fee.
• Apply At the Vietnamese Embassy: You can also apply for a visa directly at a Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your country of residence. This process usually involves submitting your passport, photos, and visa application form, and paying the required fee.
