Visas

At present, three types of visa arrangements are used for entry to Vietnam:

• Visa Exempt

• e-Visa

• Business Visa

Please follow the three steps below to determine which one applies to you and how to proceed.

 Step 1: Visa Exempt

Check if your nationality (as stated on your passport) is on the visa-exempt list:  https://www.vietnam-visa.com/vietnam-visa-exemption/. If so, no visa is necessary.

Step 2: e-visa

If your nationality (as stated in your passport) is not on the visa-exempt list, check to see if it is on the e-visa list: https://immigration.gov.vn/documents/20181/117155/Vietnam-Evisa-nation-list.pdf/21e0f88f-d8a0-48b8-bfdb-a0f82b0853e2.

If your nationality is on the e-visa list, follow the instructions on the following site to process an e-visa: (https://immigration.gov.vn/en_US/web/guest/khai-thi-thuc-dien-tu/cap-thi-thuc-dien-tu).

The government visa issuing agency will email you an invitation letter. Please take your letter, passport, boarding pass, and return/outbound tickets to the immigration passport control counter at the airport in Vietnam.

Step 3: Business Visa

If your nationality (as stated in your passport) is not on either list (visa-exempt or e-Visa), a business visa may be required.  The conference can assist by sending you an invitation letter by email.  Please take the letter, your passport, and two passport photos to the nearest Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your area to process your visa. 

For participants who require an official invitation letter to support their visa application, please check this during registration and email us after completing your full conference registration. We will issue the letter within 3 to 5 working days.
