Vietnam Embassy in Singapore

Vietnam is represented in Singapore by one embassy: the Embassy of Vietnam in Singapore, located in the quiet residential area of Leedon Park. As a city-state, Singapore has no separate consulates, so the embassy handles all consular matters. This guide is for Singaporean travelers, foreign residents in Singapore and Vietnamese citizens living there. It covers the embassy’s address, phone numbers, email and opening hours, plus a few practical tips before you get in touch.

Good news first: most Singaporean travelers never need to visit the embassy at all. Singapore passport holders can visit Vietnam visa-free for stays of up to 30 days, and anyone planning a longer trip can apply for a Vietnam e-visa fully online. The embassy matters most when you need a special type of visa, help with Vietnamese documents, or support as a Vietnamese citizen abroad.

Embassy of Vietnam in Singapore

The Embassy is in Leedon Park, a leafy residential estate in central Singapore, not far from Farrer Road and Holland Village. It serves everyone in Singapore.

Visa applications are only accepted in the morning, while other consular services run in the afternoon. Plan your visit around the right time slot so you don’t have to come back.

What Can the Embassy Help With?

The embassy handles consular work for both foreigners and Vietnamese citizens. Services typically include:

• Vietnam visas issued at the embassy, for travelers whose plans need one
• Visa exemption certificates for overseas Vietnamese and their family members
• Passports and travel documents for Vietnamese citizens
• Certification and legalization of documents to be used in Vietnam
• Marriage registration, citizen protection and emergency support for Vietnamese nationals in Singapore

Do You Need to Visit for a Tourist Visa?

Usually not. For a holiday of up to 30 days, Singapore passport holders don’t need a visa at all. For longer stays, you can apply for a Vietnam e-visa online without visiting the embassy or posting a passport. You fill in the form, upload a passport scan and a photo, pay, and receive the e-visa by email.

The embassy is the better route when your trip doesn’t fit what visa-free entry or the e-visa offers, for example certain work, study or other long-term stays. The embassy sets its own document list and fees for these cases, so check with them before you apply.

Practical Tips Before You Go

A little preparation goes a long way with consular offices. Keep these in mind:

• Call or email first. Hours, phone lines and procedures can change, and some services may need an appointment.
• Pick the right time slot. Visas are handled in the morning and other consular services in the afternoon, so check which one you need before heading over.
• Plan around the big holidays. Chinese New Year and Vietnamese Tet fall at the same time, so the embassy may close for longer than usual. It may also close on Singapore holidays such as Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali and National Day.
• Mind the time difference. Singapore is 1 hour ahead of Vietnam all year round.
• Count your days. If you’re entering visa-free, plan your trip within the 30-day limit, including your arrival and departure days. Staying longer means you’ll need a visa before you travel.

Singaporean Citizens Needing Help While in Vietnam

The Vietnamese embassy above serves people in Singapore. If you are already in Vietnam and need help as a Singaporean citizen, for example with a lost passport or an emergency, contact Singapore’s own offices there:

Travelers in southern Vietnam will usually find the Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City the most convenient. For anywhere else in the country, start with the Embassy in Hanoi.
