Common reasons foreigners contact their embassy in Vietnam

Lost passport: get a police report in Vietnam, report the loss to ICA, and apply for a replacement through the embassy. Your Vietnamese visa disappeared with the passport, so you need a new visa or exit procedures before leaving.

Passport close to expiry: many countries require six months’ validity; renew early, then transfer your visa or temporary residence card into the new passport. Need more time? Apply for a visa extension.

Marrying a Vietnamese citizen: the embassy has a dedicated marriage-matters page; Singapore documents for Vietnam need an apostille and a notarised Vietnamese translation.

Work permits and secondments: the Certificate of Clearance, degrees and records should be apostilled and translated.

Colleagues and family travelling to Vietnam can check the Vietnam e-visa (Singapore citizens currently enjoy visa-free short stays).

Help with a Singapore passport in Vietnam

The embassy lists Singapore passport applications among its services; the application is made online through ICA, after which you follow the collection instructions. Ask the embassy about collection – applicants normally need to attend in person for identity verification.

Info Travel helps with booking guidance, compliant photos and document translations; once the new passport is ready we transfer your visa/TRC and handle immigration formalities – within what the embassy permits.

Consular legalisation, MOFA certification and notarised translation

Singapore has been party to the Apostille Convention since 16 September 2021, and Vietnam applies it from 11 September 2026, so the apostille is now the main route.

a) Singapore documents for use in Vietnam: obtain an apostille from the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL), then a notarised Vietnamese translation. Non-government documents usually go through a Singapore notary public first. If a Vietnamese office still asks for legalisation, the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore can do it. Unless exempted under an international treaty, documents need an apostille or legalisation.

b) Vietnamese documents for use in Singapore: obtain an apostille from the Consular Department of MOFA (Hanoi) or the HCMC Department of Foreign Affairs, with a certified English translation (required for Singapore courts). The Singapore Consulate-General in HCMC publishes a legalisation service for Vietnamese documents (after the HCMC DOFA stamp) – a fallback if the Singapore side asks for it.

Info Travel runs the full chain: Vietnamese–English translation, notarisation, apostille or consular certification, submission and collection. See consular legalisation in Vietnam and apostille vs consular legalisation; quotes on WhatsApp.
