The full list of Vietnamese missions abroad is published on the MOFA portal – overseas missions.
Main consular services
For Vietnamese citizens living, studying or working in Laos, the mission typically handles:
- Passports, and travel documents after a passport is lost.
- Civil status: births, marriages, deaths.
- Vietnamese nationality procedures.
- Consular legalisation; attestation of signatures and copies.
- Citizen protection in emergencies.
For foreigners, most travellers now apply for an e-visa at evisa.gov.vn; embassy visas are mainly for diplomatic or official passports, or for holders of an approval letter naming the embassy as pick-up point.
Do Lao citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
As an ASEAN member, Laos benefits from a bilateral visa exemption of up to 30 days for its citizens entering Vietnam (see the Vietnam visa exemption list 2026). For longer stays, study or work, apply for an e-visa of up to 90 days at evisa.gov.vn or a visa based on an approval letter that matches your purpose.
Legalising documents from Laos for use in Vietnam
Laos is not a party to the Apostille Convention (which has applied to Vietnam since 11 September 2026), so documents issued in Laos (degrees, criminal record certificates, marriage or birth certificates) still need consular legalisation before use in Vietnam. The usual route:
- Have the document certified by the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs under local rules.
- Legalise it at the Vietnamese Embassy or a Consulate-General in Laos; or, once in Vietnam, have it certified by the Laos mission in Vietnam and then legalised by the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Translate it into Vietnamese and have the translation certified.
Some documents may be exempt under bilateral treaties. Legalised documents are essential for a Vietnam work permit (degree, criminal record) and for marriage files. Info Travel offers consular legalisation and notarised translation in Vietnam.

FAQ
What are the opening hours of the Vietnamese Embassy in Laos?
The MOFA portal does not publish hours; check the official website or call before visiting.
Do I need an appointment?
Some procedures require advance registration; check the official website’s notices.
Should foreigners apply at the embassy or online?
For tourism and short business trips, the e-visa is faster. An embassy visa suits travellers whose approval letter names the embassy for pick-up.
