A couple of years ago it was impossible for first time travelers to apply for 6 month or 1 year Vietnam visa. The maximum visa duration available was 3 months, and those who wished to stay longer had to go through a strenuous visa extension procedure that required various proof of staying purpose: invest certification, sponsoring/inviting letter from a Vietnamese company, etc…

In the past 2 years, Vietnam immigration policies have loosen, and at times, travelers were able to apply for 6 month or 1 year Vietnam visa. However, these applications were to be done via a commercial company or Vietnam embassy in the respective countries, making the fee substantial, the procedure painstaking, and availability unstable.

Recently, the Vietnam National Assembly has approved a plan to issue 1 year multiple entry visa for US citizens, which has also opened up 6 month and 1 year Vietnam visa opportunity for other nationalities.

Travelers can obtain 6 month and 1 year visa from Vietnam Embassy in their respective countries, but application requires proof of travel purpose from a Vietnamese company/firm, and 2 passport photos meeting Vietnam passport photo standard. Processing time can take up to 1 working week (not including mailing).
