Visa Options for Other Participants
Participants who are not eligible for visa exemption are advised to apply for a Vietnam e-Visa, which is available to citizens of over 80 countries.
Foreigners who are citizens of countries that are unilaterally exempted from visas by VietNam when entering VietNam will be granted a 45-day temporary residence certificate (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/168ry8oB23sVTCm5OaWCWAyPujfHOugr6?usp=drive_link) Foreigners exempted from visas under international treaties to which Viet Nam is a party will be granted a temporary stay period according to the provisions of the international treaty. If the international treaty does not stipulate a temporary stay period, a 30-day temporary residence period will be granted.
Apply for your e-Visa through the official portal:
Additionally, ICFA 2025 organizers will provide an Official Invitation Letter to facilitate your application for a Business Visa (DN category). If you are willing to attend the Field Tour, it’s a must to have a Business Visa (DN).
Please ensure you begin your visa application process well in advance of the conference to avoid any travel disruptions.
