DN1 — Business Visa DN1

The Vietnam DN1 Business Visa is issued to foreign professionals sponsored by a legally registered Vietnamese enterprise for work on specific business activities such as technical training, project implementation, or corporate collaboration. Unlike tourist visas, the DN1 provides a structured legal pathway for work in Vietnam tied to a specific employer sponsor.

Stays are up to 12 months per grant and renewable. Processing takes approximately 5 working days from a complete application. Visa fees range from USD 25 (single-entry) to USD 135 (multiple-entry, one year). The visa requires employer sponsorship and does not permit independent work; holders must obtain a separate work permit. Spouses cannot work on this visa.

This visa is ideal for international business professionals and corporate staff deployed to Vietnam for project-based roles requiring direct employment with a local entity.
