Prepare before entering data
Vietnam Visa Documents Required
A profile-based guide to passport files, portrait images, travel information and purpose-specific details for applicants in India.
Passport file Portrait image Trip details
01
Passport bio page
Use a clear image of the page containing the applicant’s photograph and personal details. The passport must be suitable for the intended journey and the submitted information must match it exactly.
02
Recent portrait image
The online application may require a separate portrait file. Use a clear, recent image that follows the current portal instructions rather than cropping casually from a busy photograph.
03
Travel dates and duration
Prepare the intended arrival, departure and requested validity. Leave enough practical margin for the trip without requesting dates that cannot be explained.
04
Entry and exit points
Identify the permitted Vietnamese airport, land border or seaport that fits the journey. Do not choose a port only because it appears first in a list.
05
Accommodation or host details
Use the real first stay or private host information relevant to the visit. Names, locations and contact details should be checked before submission.
06
Purpose-specific information
Tourists need a workable itinerary; private visitors may need host context; business travellers may need details of the inviting organisation and proposed activity.
07
Occupation and contact details
Keep current employment, business or retirement information accurate. A checklist may differ for salaried applicants, business owners and family-funded travellers.
Do not submit unrelated paperwork by habit
The electronic route is data-led. The most useful preparation is accurate, legible and relevant information that answers the current official form.
Purpose-specific preparation
Documents should explain the actual visit
A tourist, private visitor and company representative should not be given identical supporting advice.
Family or private visit
Keep host, stay and group information consistent across every individual traveller’s details.
Business visit
Explain the meeting, event or commercial purpose and use accurate counterpart information where required.
