A Vietnam spouse visa (TT visa) allows a foreign husband to enter Vietnam to visit or live with his Vietnamese wife legally. To apply, the Vietnamese wife acts as the sponsor and submits forms NA2 and NA3 along with proof of marriage and valid passports. The visa can be granted for up to 12 months, with processing time usually around 5 working days. Once approved, the visa can be stamped at a Vietnamese embassy or upon arrival, depending on the registered option

What is a Vietnam spouse visa and how long is it valid?

For a foreign husband visiting his Vietnamese wife and family in Vietnam, the most common route is the Vietnam family visit visa (TT visa).

TT visa explained

A TT visa is a Vietnam visa issued to foreigners entering Vietnam to visit close relatives. In spouse cases, the Vietnamese wife usually acts as the sponsor and submits the sponsorship file to Vietnam’s immigration authority.

Validity

In many spouse/family-visit cases, a TT visa can be granted with a validity up to 12 months (depending on the specific case and immigration approval).

• Consular legalized, then
• Translated into Vietnamese, and
• Notarized/certified according to Vietnamese requirements.

Vietnamese sponsor’s documents (wife)

• Original Vietnamese ID (CMND/CCCD) of the sponsor.

How to apply for a Vietnam spouse visa (TT) for your foreign husband

In most spouse-sponsorship cases, the Vietnamese wife applies for entry approval (entry approval letter) first. The process is usually handled as follows:

Step 1: Enter sponsorship information online

• The Vietnamese wife accesses the online portal of the Vietnam Immigration Department.
• Fill in the required details in the NA3 sponsorship form for a foreign relative entering Vietnam.
• After submitting, you will receive an electronic application code (file number).

Step 2: Get confirmation from the competent authority

• Print the sponsorship form.
• Obtain confirmation/certification from the relevant competent authority/organization as required for the file.

Step 3: Submit the entry approval application file

• After completing the paperwork, submit the full file to the Vietnam Immigration Department.
• In some cases, the sponsor may be asked to provide additional documents such as the sponsor’s passport or residence status documents in Vietnam (as applicable).

Step 4: Wait for the result and track the application

• Once the file is received, you will get a receipt with the appointment/return date.
• You can track processing using the electronic file code from Step 1.

Step 5: Visa stamping (getting the visa in the passport)

After the entry approval is granted, your husband can obtain the visa by one of these routes (based on what was registered in advance):

• Vietnamese embassy/consulate in the country of residence, or
• Visa on arrival stamping at the chosen Vietnam international airport, or
• Visa stamping at an international border gate (if registered and eligible).
