Vietnam visa requirements for Congo citizens

The required documents depend on the visa type and the application method you choose.

Documents for Vietnam e-visa

If Congo citizens apply for a Vietnam e-visa, the required documents are relatively simple:

• A valid Congolese passport with sufficient validity.
• A digital portrait photo meeting Vietnam visa photo requirements (4×6 cm, white background).

This method is suitable for travelers entering Vietnam for tourism, short business trips, or family visits.

Documents for Vietnam visa approval letter

If you apply through a visa approval letter, a Vietnamese company or individual must sponsor your entry. The required documents include:

• Passport valid for at least 6 months.
• Scanned application form for entry approval (Form NA2).

Additional documents depend on the sponsor.

For company sponsorship

A Vietnamese company sponsoring a Congolese citizen must submit the application online via the National Public Service Portal with the following documents:

• Notarized copy of the company’s investment license or business registration certificate.
• Form NA16: Introduction letter of the company seal and authorized signature registered with the Immigration Department.
• Digital signature token or USB for electronic signing.
• Authorization letter if the person submitting the application is not the legal representative.
• Citizen ID card of the person submitting the visa application.

For family sponsorship

If the visa is sponsored by relatives in Vietnam, additional documents are required depending on the sponsor’s nationality.

If the sponsor is a foreign national:

• Legal documents of the sponsoring company in Vietnam.
• Documents proving the family relationship between the sponsor and the Congolese applicant (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.).

If the sponsor is a Vietnamese citizen:

• Proof of family relationship with the Congolese applicant (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.).
• Valid passport and citizen ID card of the sponsor.
• Application form for entry approval sponsored by a Vietnamese citizen (Form NA3).
• Confirmation of residence information of the sponsor (CT07).

If you are unsure about preparing these documents, immigration specialists at Tân Văn Lang can review your paperwork and guide you through the process.
