Malaysian Consulate-General in HCMC: Address, Services 2026

The Consulate-General of Malaysia in Ho Chi Minh City is now shown on Google Maps at 109 Nguyen Van Huong, An Khanh Ward (Thao Dien area) – no longer at Me Linh Point as older directories say; phone +84 28 3829 9023, open Monday–Friday 08:30–11:30 and 14:00–15:30. It serves Malaysians in southern Vietnam – from emergency travel documents to document attestation – but call to confirm the address and check services on the Wisma Putra website before visiting.

Note: according to Google Maps and recent visitor feedback, the Consulate-General has moved from Me Linh Point (former District 1) to the Thao Dien area; the Wisma Putra website may not be updated yet, so call to confirm. Malaysia’s consular office opened here in 1991 and became a Consulate-General about a year later.

Consular services for Malaysia citizens

We could not access the Wisma Putra website to verify the Consulate-General’s services. Common requests from Malaysians in the south include:

an emergency travel document after losing a passport;
citizen registration and updating contact details;
attestation of documents for Malaysia and letters needed for marriage;
registering the birth of a child born in Vietnam;
assistance after accidents, arrest or hardship.

Confirm with the Consulate-General which of these are available in HCMC.

What to know before you go

Re-confirm the address, phone number and hours just before your visit – public information on Malaysia’s mission in Vietnam is not updated often.
Prepare originals and photocopies of your passport, visa/residence card pages and any document to be certified.
Closed on Vietnamese and Malaysia public holidays.
Arrive early, dress neatly and follow the guards’ instructions.
The new premises are in a quiet residential part of Thao Dien with no motorbike parking for visitors – you have to park outside, so a taxi or ride-hailing car is easier.
Photocopy every document beforehand: there is no copying on site and the nearest copy shop is not convenient.
The afternoon window is only about ninety minutes, so aim for the morning; documents are usually handled by a single officer, so expect some waiting.
Some Malaysian forms (for example marriage registration papers) must be signed in front of a consular officer by the people concerned – possibly including the Vietnamese partner’s parents – so ask in advance and bring everyone together.

Common reasons foreigners contact the Consulate-General

Real-life cases Info Travel sees with Malaysia clients:

– A bag snatched, passport gone: first a police confirmation from the ward police, then contact Malaysia’s mission for a travel document. With the new document you still need a replacement visa or exit procedures before you can leave.

– A professional whose passport has under six months left: renew, then move the temporary residence card or visa to the new passport.

– A couple preparing to marry: certificate of marital status and a legalised birth certificate with a notarised translation; a work permit similarly needs a criminal record and recognised diplomas.

– Signature certification on powers of attorney, citizen registration or overseas voting.

For a visa extension or an Vietnam e-visa, you do not need the mission at all.

Help with Malaysia passport applications in Vietnam

Whether Malaysia’s mission in Vietnam issues passports locally has not been confirmed from an official source. If not, citizens usually apply in Malaysia or through another mission, and in an emergency can obtain a single-journey travel document to go home.

Where passports are issued, applicants normally attend in person for photos and biometrics. Info Travel helps within what the mission permits: checking requirements and booking, forms, photos, translating Vietnamese documents and directions. On the Vietnamese side we handle everything: extending your stay while you wait, transferring your visa or temporary residence card to the new passport, a new visa or exit procedures if you travel on an emergency document.

Consular legalisation, certification (MOFA / HCMC External Relations stamps) and notarised translation

Malaysia is not a party to the Apostille Convention (even though it has applied to Vietnam since 11 September 2026), so documents between the two countries still follow the certification-and-legalisation chain. Background: apostille vs consular legalisation.

a) Malaysia documents for use in Vietnam: certification by Malaysia’s competent authority (usually the foreign ministry) and legalisation at the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in Malaysia; or certification by Malaysia’s mission in Vietnam (if it offers this) followed by legalisation at the Consular Department (MOFA, Hanoi) or the HCMC Department of External Relations. Then a notarised translation into Vietnamese. Legalisation is required in every case unless exempted under an international treaty to which both Vietnam and Malaysia are party.

b) Vietnamese documents for use in Malaysia: translation, consular certification at the Consular Department or HCMC External Relations, then legalisation at Malaysia’s mission in Vietnam (ask first about submission days and translation requirements).

In Ho Chi Minh City, the Vietnamese certification/legalisation step is done at the HCMC Department of External Relations – usually faster than going to Hanoi.

Info Travel handles the whole chain: translation, notarisation, MOFA/External Relations stamps (or apostille), and submission and collection at the mission. See our consular legalisation service; quotes on WhatsApp +84327828822.

FAQ

Is the Malaysian Consulate-General still at Me Linh Point?

Probably not. Google Maps and recent visitor feedback place it at 109 Nguyen Van Huong, An Khanh Ward (Thao Dien area). The Wisma Putra website may still show the old address – call +84 28 3829 9023 to confirm before going.

What should I do if I lose my Malaysian passport in HCMC?

Get a ward police report, contact the Consulate-General for a travel document, then a new visa or exit procedure – Info Travel handles that last step.

Can Malaysian documents be legalised in HCMC?

The Vietnamese step can be done at the HCMC Department of External Relations once the document is properly certified; apostille does not apply between Malaysia and Vietnam.
