The vietnam.um.dk website belongs to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but its contact and consular pages block automated access, so the address, phone and opening hours above have been cross-checked with Google Maps, while the email comes from older records. The embassy opened in Hanoi on 1 April 1994; the current ambassador, Nicolai Prytz, covers Vietnam and Laos.

Consular services for Danish citizens

We could not verify the embassy’s list of consular services. Danes typically ask about:

Passports and emergency passports after a loss – ask first whether this is handled in Hanoi.
Help after accidents, hospitalisation, arrest or the death of a relative in Vietnam or Laos.
Signature authentication and document confirmation – subject to current Danish MFA rules.
Schengen and EES information for Vietnamese travellers to Europe (posted on the home page).

Many Danish consular services are handled centrally or online; check the home page or email the embassy before visiting.

Before you visit

Contact the embassy by email or phone to book – do not turn up without an appointment.
BIDV Tower is an office building; bring ID to register at reception.
Bring your Danish passport (or police loss report) and related documents.
The embassy closes on Vietnamese and Danish holidays (e.g. Constitution Day, 5 June, and Christmas).
If you live in Laos, contact the embassy first – Hanoi also covers Laos.
The embassy used to be on Dien Bien Phu Street, and some old directories and maps still show that address – go to BIDV Tower, 194 Tran Quang Khai.
It closes early on Fridays (2:30 pm), so aim for Monday to Thursday.
With an appointment and complete documents, matters are usually handled quickly.

What foreigners usually need help with

Lost Danish passport: file a report with the local police, then contact the embassy about a replacement. Your Vietnamese visa was lost with the passport, so you will need a new visa or exit procedures for foreigners before leaving Vietnam.

Passport expiring: check with the embassy how to renew from Vietnam; once you have the new passport, transfer your visa or temporary residence card. While you wait, you may need a visa extension.

Marriage, birth, work permit: Danish birth certificates, marital-status certificates and criminal records usually need an apostille from Denmark and a Vietnamese translation.

Voting and registration: Danes abroad should ask the embassy about eligibility to vote from overseas.

Friends visiting from Denmark can apply for a Vietnam e-visa.

Danish passport help in Vietnam

We could not verify whether the Danish Embassy in Hanoi accepts passport applications, so we do not claim it does. If Hanoi cannot help, the usual alternatives are applying in Denmark or at another Danish mission in the region, and in an emergency requesting a temporary passport. Passport issuance generally requires the applicant to attend for biometrics. Info Travel handles the Vietnamese side: visa extensions while you wait, transferring your visa or residence card to the new passport, and exit procedures.

Consular legalisation, MOFA certification and notarised translation

Denmark has been an Apostille Convention party since 2006, and Vietnam has applied the Convention since 11 September 2026. Most public documents between the two countries now move with an apostille instead of multi-step legalisation.

a) Danish documents for use in Vietnam: obtain an apostille from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (or legalisation at the Vietnamese Embassy in Copenhagen if a Vietnamese office requires it), then a notarised translation into Vietnamese. Unless exempted by an international treaty, documents need an apostille or legalisation.

b) Vietnamese documents for use in Denmark: get an apostille or consular certification from the Consular Department (MOFA, Hanoi) or the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Foreign Affairs, with an English or Danish translation as the Danish authority requires.

Info Travel runs the full chain: translation, notarisation, apostille or MOFA/DOFA stamp, submission and collection. See consular legalisation in Vietnam and apostille vs consular legalisation; quotes on WhatsApp +84327828822.
