Pre-arrival information

Visa

To enter Vietnam, you may need a visa. Citizens of the ASEAN countries, Russia, P.R. China, R. Korea and Japan may not need a visa for a short visit. If you are not sure, please inquire your local Vietnamese consulate.

In case you need a Vietnam visa, you may use an online service such as "My Vietnam Visa" to obtain a "visa on arrival" which can be collected upon your arrival at a Vietnamese international airport.

If you need help from the organizers in obtaining a visa, please complete the VISA FORM (or its PDF format) and return it to the workshop secretariat at least 2 weeks before your date of arrival.
