Renewal of residence permit

• If you wish to pursue your studies at the University of Economics and Law, kindly make an appointment with the External Relations Office (ERO) 2 months prior to the expiration of your visa.

• After providing required documents, the ERO will check them with you. You will then submit your application to the Vietnam Immigration Department in HCMC, from June to August.
