Main consular services
For Vietnamese citizens living, studying or working in Malaysia, 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 Malaysian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
As an ASEAN member, Malaysia 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, work or multiple entries, apply for an e-visa of up to 90 days at evisa.gov.vn (state fee USD 25 single, USD 50 multiple).
Legalising documents from Malaysia for use in Vietnam
Malaysia is not a party to the Apostille Convention (which has applied to Vietnam since 11 September 2026), so documents issued in Malaysia (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 Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Wisma Putra) under local rules.
- Legalise it at the Vietnamese Embassy or a Consulate-General in Malaysia; or, once in Vietnam, have it certified by the Malaysia 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 Malaysia?
The MOFA portal does not publish hours; check the official website or call before visiting.
Do I need an appointment?

Should foreigners apply at the embassy or online?
