Vietnam marriage visa

Not necessarily. If you are in Korea, you can register your marriage in Korea first, and our local partner can get your Vietnamese documents and their apostille for you. We'll explain what fits your situation in the pre-check.

Going from marriage registration in both Korea and Vietnam to the F-6 visa usually costs about KRW 4–5 million. It differs if there is a history of illegal stay or if income or housing requirements need to be strengthened, so we quote it after reviewing your requirements. Actual costs such as government fees, translation and apostilles are separate. Consultation and pre-check are free, and we refund 100% of the fee if the visa is denied due to K-VISA's fault.

After registering your marriage in both countries, your Korean spouse takes the international marriage guidance program, then gets a Visa Issuance Confirmation (사증발급인정서) in Korea, or you apply for the marriage visa (F-6) at the Korean Embassy in Hanoi or the Korean Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City. Once the visa is issued, you enter Korea and complete alien registration (외국인등록).

Your Korean spouse needs a passport, Basic Certificate (기본증명서), Family Relation Certificate (가족관계증명서) and Marriage Relation Certificate (혼인관계증명서) (detailed), a guidance program completion certificate, income and employment documents, and housing documents. You need a passport, a certificate of marital status, birth-related documents and a health check certificate, and your Vietnamese documents get an apostille and are translated into Korean. You both also submit a statement of how you met, plus photos and message records.

Either works. If you are both in Vietnam, couples often register in Vietnam first. If you are in Korea, couples often register in Korea first.

The standard changes every year, and even if income is a little short, assets or other means can sometimes make up the difference. We check this first in the pre-check and find a way together.

You just need to show that the two of you can talk in a shared language. We'll tell you which evidence to prepare.

Yes, the Korean spouse inviting you must take it. Without the completion certificate, you can't apply for the visa, so it's best to take it early in your preparation.

If you've already registered your marriage, about 5–8 weeks on average. If you're starting from marriage registration, about 3–4 months on average (based on K-VISA's processing time; immigration review time is separate).

If you apply in Vietnam, there may be a couple interview at the Korean Embassy in Hanoi or the Korean Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City. We'll prepare sample questions and how to answer them with you in advance.

Check whether the agency is registered as an immigration application agent, whether it publishes real approved Vietnamese marriage visa cases and reviews, whether it can handle local Vietnamese documents itself, whether it can communicate with you in Vietnamese, and whether its responsibility if the visa is denied is written in the contract. K-VISA is a registered immigration application agent (No. 19-IC-RG-041). We publish 14 approved Vietnamese marriage visa cases and reviews from Vietnamese couples (as of October 2026), and our Vietnamese-speaking staff talk with you directly. Through a business agreement (March 2026) with OnePass (원패스), a company specializing in Vietnamese administration, we prepare local document issuance, translation and apostilles for you. We refund 100% of the fee if the visa is denied due to K-VISA's fault.

You can fill in what was missing and apply again. And if the visa is denied due to K-VISA's fault, we refund 100% of the fee.
