Our Services

Professional services tailored to the Vietnamese-American community

VISA Exemption 5 Years

Often referred to as the "Vietnam Permanent Visa," this is available to overseas Vietnamese and their family members (spouses and children). This certificate allows for multiple entries into Vietnam over a 5-year period without the need for a standard visa, making it the most convenient option for frequent travelers.

Document For Marriage Registration

Registering a marriage involving a foreign element requires specific legal dossiers. We help you prepare the necessary "Affidavit of Single Status" and other required certificates.

Legalization And Authentication Of Documents

Since Vietnam is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, foreign documents must undergo consular legalization. We guide you through the multi-step authentication process to ensure your documents are legally valid in Vietnam.

E-Visa

The Vietnam Electronic Visa (E-visa) is the fastest way for tourists and business travelers to enter the country. We assist with the online application process to ensure your entry is guaranteed and error-free.

Power Of Attorney

If you need to conduct legal or financial business in Vietnam—such as selling property or handling inheritance—we can help you draft and notarize a legally binding Power of Attorney.

Vietnam Passport

Whether you are applying for your first Vietnamese passport or need to renew an expiring one, we handle the logistics. Our service covers passport issuance for Vietnamese citizens residing abroad.

We provide certified true copies of original documents as required by Vietnamese authorities. This service ensures your photocopies are legally recognized and accepted for official proceedings.

Required for employment, immigration, or adoption processes, we help you obtain an official criminal records certificate from Vietnamese authorities or authenticate foreign police clearances for use in Vietnam.

Vietnamese citizens living abroad can register their residency status and update personal information with the consulate. We assist with all paperwork to ensure your records are current and accurate.
