Main consular services
For Vietnamese citizens:
- Passport issuance, renewal and replacement; travel documents after a passport is lost.
- Civil status: birth, marriage and death registration, and recording events registered abroad.
- Nationality matters: confirmation, renunciation and restoration of Vietnamese nationality.
- Consular certification and legalisation, notarisation and attestation of documents.
- Citizen protection in emergencies (accidents, lost documents, detention).
For foreigners: the mission still issues visas, but most travellers now use the online e-visa. A visa sticker from the embassy is mainly for diplomatic or official passports, or for applicants holding a visa approval letter from the Vietnam Immigration Department that names Berlin or Frankfurt as the pick-up point.
Do German citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
According to the Vietnam visa guide for German citizens kept up to date by Info Travel, Germany is covered by the unilateral exemption under Resolution 44/NQ-CP: up to 45 days per entry, regardless of passport type or purpose of travel, applicable until 14 March 2028. Rules are adjusted from time to time, so check again shortly before you travel.
For stays longer than 45 days or multiple entries, German citizens can apply online at evisa.gov.vn (up to 90 days, single or multiple entry; fee USD 25 or USD 50). Info Travel offers a full-service e-visa if you want your application checked before submission.
Legalising documents from Germany for use in Vietnam
Vietnam acceded to the Apostille Convention (in force for Vietnam from 11 September 2026), but the Convention does not apply between Vietnam and Germany because Germany objected to Vietnam’s accession. Documents issued in Germany therefore still need consular legalisation before they are accepted in Vietnam. The usual steps:
- Have the document certified by the competent German authority under local rules.
- Submit it for legalisation at the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate General.
- In Vietnam, have it translated into Vietnamese and the translation certified (see notarised translation).
Typical documents: degrees and criminal record certificates for a Vietnam work permit, birth certificates, and certificates of marital status for marriage in Vietnam. If sending papers back to Germany is not practical, see Info Travel’s consular legalisation service.

FAQ
What are the opening hours of the Embassy of Vietnam in Germany?
The MOFA directory does not list opening hours. Check the notices on the mission’s official website and remember both Vietnamese and local public holidays.
Do I need an appointment?
It is best to call or email first to confirm the required documents and how applications are accepted (in person or by post), so you do not have to make several trips.
Should I apply at the embassy or get an e-visa?
For ordinary tourist and business trips, the online e-visa is faster and easier. An embassy visa suits diplomatic or official passports, or travellers with an approval letter naming Berlin or Frankfurt as the pick-up point.
