How to Fill In Form NA2 (Entry Approval Request)

Form NA2 is how a Vietnamese entity asks the Immigration Department to approve the entry of named foreigners. Since 1 July 2026 only the template issued with Circular 70/2026/TT-BCA is accepted.

Who signs

The legal representative or the person registered on form NA16, with the company seal. A signature from anyone else is refused, even if they are senior.

Section by section

  1. Sponsor details: company name, address and tax code exactly as on the enterprise registration certificate — using the current administrative name after the provincial merger.
  2. Applicant list: full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number and type, copied character by character from the passport.
  3. Purpose and visa symbol: DL, DN, LD, DT or TT. The purpose must match the symbol; “business meeting” with an LD request will be questioned.
  4. Duration and entries: the period requested and single or multiple entry.
  5. Entry date and gate: entering before this date is not permitted.
  6. Where the visa is collected: the border gate, or the exact Vietnamese embassy or consulate.

Group applications

One NA2 can list several people travelling for the same purpose, entering at the same gate and collecting at the same place. Cheaper and faster than separate filings.

Errors we see most

  • Old template used after 1 July 2026
  • Name order reversed against the passport
