Vietnam 5-Year Visa Exemption — A Legal Status Decision.

Not just travel convenience. It's a commitment signal to maintain continuous access without establishing formal residency.

What Is It?
(A Different Perspective)

The Vietnam 5-year visa exemption isn't about "skipping visa applications." It's a legal status decision: you're choosing to maintain a formal tie to Vietnam that grants you predictable entry rights for half a decade, rather than gambling on tourist visa renewals.

Commitment Signal

Most expats think of this as "the easy visa." That's backward. You're telling authorities you have legitimate, long-term reasons to be here. In return, they grant you certainty.

The New Reality

Vietnam's immigration policies have tightened significantly since 2020. The days of unlimited visa runs are over. This is the only reliable way to maintain continuous access without residency.

Who Qualifies — And Who Doesn't

Many people assume their situation qualifies, then get rejected. The relationship must be formally documented.

You're Eligible If

Vietnamese origin (Việt Kiều) You or your parents/grandparents held citizenship, regardless of current passport.
Married to a citizen Legally registered marriage, not just living together.
Child of a citizen Biological child with proper documentation linking to the parent.

You're NOT Eligible If

You're a foreigner with no family connection, even after 10 years of living here.
Your Vietnamese spouse's citizenship has lapsed or been renounced.
You're a stepchild or adopted child without formal legal recognition.
You've been deported or have an entry ban.

Decision Logic

This exemption isn't a magic key for everyone. It works best when your specific needs align with its legal constraints.

The Problem & The Solution

We tested serial tourist visas and border runs. They failed due to tightening policies and lack of stability. The 5-Year Exemption solves the uncertainty problem.
