VISA APPLICATION CENTRES - VFS OFFICES IN HO CHI MINH CITY & DA NANG
The visa application centres - VFS offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang remain closed at the present time due to local restrictions. We are continuing our work with Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang authorities to gain permission for the offices in these cities to resume operations. Any information will be updated on our pages.
FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR STUDENT VISAS:
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK government has implemented a number of concessions to assist UK visa holders, especially international students coming to study in the UK. We understand the need for international students to have more flexibility around when to travel to the UK given the current COVID-19 pandemic.
We encourage you to talk to your university about the situation here in Viet Nam. If needed, we can assist you with a letter from the British Embassy Hanoi/British Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City explaining your delayed arrival.
