The file is your passport, your itinerary, the address you will be staying at — and a business invitation letter where one applies. Asia Relocation Vietnam files it, or tells you that you do not need to.
A temporary visitor application in Vietnam is assembled from a valid passport, a travel itinerary, proof of where you will stay, and a business invitation letter where one applies. Its evidence is the plans you make yourself, which is why we settle what the visit is actually for — and whether an invitation belongs in it — before anything is filed.
The other thing worth knowing early is that the right answer is sometimes no answer. Some of the best decisions about a country start with a trip that commits to nothing: seeing the schools, the offices and the neighbourhoods with your own eyes. If an electronic entry already covers what you have planned, we say so rather than open a file you do not need.
Asia Relocation Vietnam checks that first, then settles what the visit is actually for, assembles the plan into an application that can be read in one pass, lodges it with the Immigration Department, and handles renewal or extension if the stay turns out to be longer than the ticket said.
A visit decides nothing. That is its purpose, and also its limit.
Quoted in writing — including when the quotation is that you need nothing.
Tell us where the visit is heading and the same coordinator follows it.
Same entry, very different stakes — and the stakes decide how much care the file deserves.
Two parents, one trip, and a decision waiting at the end of it. The stay is short; what rests on it is not.
Appointments in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi that have to be made from abroad, in a calendar set by admissions rather than by the traveller.
Parents, adult children, a wedding. The address is a relative's rather than a hotel's, and we settle what it has to show.
Premises, suppliers, a sense of the market. The moment it becomes meetings rather than looking, we settle which entry the trip belongs on before you travel.
Plans changed, a decision took longer. Renewal and extension exist for that, and both are work we would rather start before the last days of a stay.
Your dates and your plans, read against what an electronic entry to Vietnam already covers. Sometimes the work stops here, and it should.
Looking, visiting, or something with commercial substance in it. This is the reading that decides which entry the trip belongs on, and it is far cheaper before departure.
An itinerary and an address in Vietnam, real enough to be evidence. Thin plans make thin applications, and we say which details still have to settle.
Submitted to the Immigration Department and pursued, so you are not refreshing an inbox in the week before a flight.
An extension if the stay grows, or the right route if the visit ends in a decision. Either way the conversation continues with the same coordinator.
They will decide on schools, neighbourhoods and a city in a handful of days. The visa is the small part; the days are not, and we plan them accordingly.
A candidate flown out before an offer is signed, where a refused entry would set the whole assignment back.
Visitors whose host is an expatriate household rather than a hotel, and who want the paperwork handled from the Vietnamese end.
People whose plans have changed after arrival and who need the extension opened now rather than in the week it expires.
A passport, an itinerary and an address — and what we establish with you about each.
A hotel in District 1, an apartment lent by a colleague in Hanoi, a guesthouse in Da Nang, a relative's home in a province with no tourist infrastructure at all. Where you will sleep is part of the file, and we establish with you what your own arrangement has to show rather than publish a rule here.
Asia Relocation Vietnam handles these in-house and from inside the country, which matters mainly for what happens afterwards: an extension, a change of plan, a visit that turns into a move. The file is small, the consequences of a refused or awkward entry are not, and the same coordinator stays with you either way.
Negotiations, audits, conferences and board meetings, on the entry that fits commercial travel.
