Procedure for obtaining an arrival visa and entering the country
Tourist visa (DL)
Japanese nationals are not required to obtain a visa if they stay in Japan for less than 15 days, as this country is eligible for visa exemption. However, in the following cases, you are required to obtain a visa.
・When staying for more than 46 days for sightseeing purposes
Business visa (DN)
You are required to obtain a business visa (DN) for business purposes such as business negotiations, inspections, and meetings.
Working visa (LD)
This is a visa required when staying in Vietnam and working for a foreign-owned company. For foreigners to work in Vietnam, two types of official documents are required: a work visa (LD) and a work permit (WP).
・If the stay is less than 3 months, there is no need to apply for a work permit.
・If you plan to work for more than one year, apply for a temporary residence card (TCR) instead of a work visa.
This TCR validity period is from 2 to 5 years.
Family Visa (TT)
This is a VISA that you will get when you are accompanied by a family member of a worker living in Vietnam.
Since it is based on the worker's work visa and work permit, the length of stay is the same. For long-term stays, switch to a residence card.
