Procedures for Applying for an Investment Visa for Foreigners
For Foreign Investors Currently Abroad
Step 1: Apply for an Entry Approval Letter under Investment Category
The company where the foreign investor contributes capital/invests will prepare a dossier for the investment visa application, which includes:
- A certified copy of the business registration certificate (DKKD) or investment certificate or a decision from the competent authority regarding the establishment of the organization.
- A document introducing the seal and signature of the authorized representative of the company (Form NA16).
- A photocopy of the foreign investor’s passport.

After submitting the dossier, the applicant will receive a receipt (as known as notice). The applicant will need to wait approximately 5 working days for the immigration department to process the application.
Finally, the Immigration Department will issue an Entry Approval Letter for Vietnam.
At this point, the sponsoring company will scan the entire approval letter and send it to the foreign investor, so the investor can affix the ĐT visa stamp for entry into Vietnam.
Step 2: Affix the Investment Visa for Vietnam
After receiving the entry approval letter, the foreign investor will need to prepare the following:
- The original passport with at least 2 blank pages and a valid expiration date (the same passport used for applying for the entry approval letter).
- 2 passport-sized photos (4×6 cm) with a white background.
- A printed copy of all pages of the entry approval letter.
- The entry-exit application form for Vietnam.
Then, depending on the location for obtaining the Vietnamese family visa, the foreigner will bring the documents to:
- The Vietnamese Embassy/Consulate where it has been registered.
- The registered border gate in Vietnam to affix the investment visa and complete the entry procedures for Vietnam under the investment category.
