At ISHCMC, we understand that moving to a new country can feel like a big step for any student.

Our dedicated Admissions and Community Engagement teams provide end-to-end visa assistance to ensure every international student’s transition to Vietnam is smooth, compliant, and stress-free. We work closely with trusted immigration partners and guide each student through the process from admission to arrival, making sure all requirements are clear and timelines are met.

Our goal is to make the journey to ISHCMC as seamless as possible, so students can begin learning and growing from day one.

Your Simplified Visa Process

1

Inquiry:

Parents or authorized agents contact our Admissions team to request visa support.

2

Admission & Documentation:

Once your child is admitted, ISHCMC prepares the required school documents: Visa Sponsorship Letter, Statement of Enrollment, and Study Plan.

3

Application Submission:

Parents (or agent) submit the full application to the Vietnam Immigration Department with support from our approved visa partners.

4

Approval & Notification:

Once approved, families receive a confirmation and can obtain the visa at a Vietnamese embassy or consulate.

5

Arrival & Onboarding:

Families share arrival details with our team so we can prepare a warm welcome and smooth first-day experience.

What Families Should Prepare

From the very first step, please have these documents ready:

  • Valid passport (with at least six months’ validity)
  • Passport-size photos (white background)
  • Guardianship documents, if applicable
  • Completed visa application form (NA5)
  • Payment for visa fees and service provider charges

Tip: We recommend starting the visa process as soon as your child’s offer of admission is confirmed to ensure timely approval before the start of school.

Let our team guide you every step of the way.

Our Admissions and Community Engagement specialists are ready to walk you through the visa process, connect you with trusted legal partners, and answer any questions about moving to Vietnam.

Leave your details, and one of our team members will reach out to support you personally.




Even years after graduating, our children still carry the lessons, friendships, and confidence they gained at ISHCMC. We’re so grateful for the lasting impact of such a formative experience.
