5 Year Visa Vietnam—The Ultimate Freedom for Expats
The Vietnam 5 year visa exemption (also known as a visa exemption certificate) allows people of Vietnamese origin or those with family ties to Vietnamese citizens to enter Vietnam multiple times over 5 years without needing a visa. You can stay up to 6 months per visit, making it perfect for long-term stays, work, or investment.
With CMT Consulting’s visa exemption service, you’ll get your 5 year visa Vietnam quickly and easily.
Visa Exemption vs. Regular Visa Exemption—What’s the Difference?
- 5 Year Visa Exemption: You need to apply for a visa exemption certificate, which lets you enter Vietnam multiple times over 5 years without a visa. Each stay can be up to 6 months—perfect for Vietnamese origin or their family members planning long-term visits.
- Regular Visa Exemption: This applies to citizens of certain countries under Vietnam’s agreements. You can enter without a visa for a short period (14-90 days, depending on the country), but it’s not suitable for extended stays.

Can You Apply for a 5 Year Visa Vietnam with a Passport Valid for Less Than 5 Years?
Yes, you can apply for a Vietnam 5 year visa exemption even if your passport is valid for less than 5 years. However, your visa exemption certificate will only be valid for 6 months less than your passport’s expiration date. To maximize benefits and save costs, we recommend renewing your passport first, then applying for the 5 year visa Vietnam. CMT can help you with both processes quickly and easily!
Key Notes After Getting Your Visa Exemption Certificate
Extending Your Stay in Vietnam
A visa exemption certificate cannot be extended when it expires—you’ll need to apply for a new one. However, you can extend your stay per entry in two ways:
- Extend in Vietnam: Submit an application at the Vietnam Immigration Department if you have a guarantor (a Vietnamese citizen or company). You’ll need an extension form, your passport, and guarantee documents.
- Visa Run: Travel to a neighboring country like Cambodia, Thailand, or Singapore, then re-enter Vietnam to get a new 6-month stay period.
Many choose the visa run option—it’s cost-effective and doesn’t require dealing with government offices. Contact CMT for the best visa run plan tailored to your needs!
Reapplying for a Visa Exemption Certificate If Lost or Changed
If you lose your visa exemption certificate or need to update its information, you’ll need to reapply at the Vietnam Immigration Department or a Vietnamese Embassy abroad. Required documents include:
- Application form for a new visa exemption (Form NA9).
- Two recent 4×6 cm photos (white background, straight face, no hat, no colored glasses: 1 attached to the form, 1 loose).
- Your current visa exemption certificate (if lost, include a loss report).
- Notarized copies of your passport and proof of relationship.
- Documents proving the changes (if applicable).
With CMT, you’ll get your new certificate in just 5-7 days, ensuring you can stay in Vietnam legally without stress!
Converting Your 5 Year Visa Exemption to a Temporary Residence Card
You can convert your Vietnam 5 year visa exemption into a Temporary Residence Card (LĐ, TT, ĐT,…) if you meet the conditions. If your sponsor (e.g., your Vietnamese spouse) is the same, you won’t need to leave Vietnam to process this. Documents include:
- Application for a Temporary Residence Card
- Notarized copies of your passport and visa exemption certificate
- Guarantee documents (marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.)
CMT will handle this for you in 7-10 days—no need to exit Vietnam!
