hello, good day, I am planning to travel with my partner next year. I have a regular job which is easy for me to comply the requirements. However, my partner has an on call job/ he's a self earning individual. With this, may I know the requirements for those self-earning or with on call jobs only? Aside from Passport, what does the immigration need? thank you
@Julie Albos, for an online e-visa application, it is issued for tourism and business purposes only. If your partner plans to visit Vietnam and engage in income-generating activities (such as self-employment or on-call jobs), a work visa will be required. We recommend contacting the Vietnamese Embassy in Manila for the necessary procedures and specific requirements.
