What is Form NA1? Where to Download?

One NECESSARY document you must present to the immigration officer upon entering Vietnam is the Entry and Exit form (NA1). When you arrive at an airport in Vietnam or to save time when you arrive at the airport, you can also download the form and fill it out beforehand.

*Form NA1 is the official application form used to request a visa for foreigners entering Vietnam (as stipulated in Circular No. 04/2015/TT-BCA dated January 5, 2015, issued by the Ministry of Public Security).
