VIETNAM – Online process for long-term visa and TRC applications.
August 7, 2024
By: Patricia Clarino and Anne Ho
Effective immediately, the submission process for long-term visa and temporary residence card applications with the Dong Nai Immigration Authority have been updated. This new procedure aligns with the online process implemented in Binh Duong, Ho Chi Minh City and is as follows:
Online submission process.
Applications must now be submitted online via the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) Immigration portal using a Token (e-signature) and MPS account.
Physical submission process.
Following the online submission, companies are required to submit the physical application dossier to the Immigration Department. A representative from the Vietnam sponsoring company must be present to submit the application. Additional documentation such as staff cards and VssID apps may be requested.
Government fee payment.
After submitting both online and physical applications, a notification via email with instructions for paying the government fee online will be sent out by the authorities. Processing times of approximately 8-10 working days should be expected once the fee payment is confirmed. Potential delays or re-submission requests should be expected due to system issues, especially during the initial transition phase.
Result collection.
Notifications of the result will be sent to the registered email. The Visa/Temporary Residence Card can then be collected by the company representative at the immigration office.
New residence registration requirement.
A certified residence registration certificate from local police will now be required instead of the online residence registration.
