To do business in Vietnam, you need to get a Vietnam business visa. As the most recent change to Vietnam’s visa rules, a new 3-month business E-visa is now available. So, Korean businessmen can now apply for a visa online and get an electronic visa good for 3 months to do business or work in Vietnam. With a Vietnam 3-month business E-visa, Koreans can do a lot of things, like sign contracts, meet with other businesses, and work with Vietnamese businesses to look into investing options. Let’s go on a trip to find out how Koreans can apply for a 3-month business E-visa to Vietnam.
1/ When can a Korean businessman apply for a 3-month business E-visa to Vietnam?
A lot of information on the Internet says that Koreans can only get an E-visa to Vietnam for work for up to one month. That’s right! But it’s an old change to the policy on visas.
When the Vietnam business E-visa first came out, it was only good for one month and could only be used once. But starting in August 2023, people from Korea will be able to stay in Vietnam for up to three months longer if they have a Vietnam business E-visa. All businessmen from Korea who want to go to Vietnam for short-term business, meetings, or work can now apply for a 3-month Vietnam business E-visa. With this business E-visa, Korean citizens can stay for 1 month or 3 months, and they can enter and leave the country as many times as they want.
2/ What do Koreans need to do to get a 3-month Vietnam Business E-Visa?
Korea people only need their passport and a picture to apply for an E-visa to do business in Vietnam for 3 months. But make sure all the papers meet the following requirements:
Also, Korean business people need an email address to get the E-visa result and a legal credit card to pay online.
3/ Do Korean businesspeople who want a 3-month business E-visa need a sponsor in Vietnam?
A few months ago, when you applied for a Vietnam 3 month business visa, you had to have a supporter in Vietnam. This support company will get the paperwork ready and send a letter of approval for businesspeople from Korea.
But the way things are done now is simpler. When filing for a Vietnam 3-month visa, people from Korea don’t need a company in Vietnam to act as a sponsor. With the new rule for Vietnam E-visa, Korean businesspeople can prepare the papers and take care of all the steps on their own. When Korean businesspeople apply for a 3-month E-visa for Vietnam now, they don’t need a sponsor.
