Are you a Vietnamese citizen living in the U.S. who has never held a passport? You don't need to fly back to Vietnam — VietVisas helps you get a first-time Vietnamese passport right here in the U.S., end to end, for $550.
Who is this for?
- Vietnamese nationals who moved to the U.S. but never obtained a passport.
- People who held a national ID but were never issued a passport.
- People of Vietnamese origin who still hold Vietnamese nationality and want a first passport.
How it differs from a renewal
Unlike a renewal (where you already have an old passport to reference), a first-time application requires proof of Vietnamese nationality through original records. This is the most important step — getting it right up front avoids a returned file.

Frequently asked questions
- I've never had a Vietnamese passport — can I get one in the U.S.?
- Yes. If you're a Vietnamese citizen (or still hold Vietnamese nationality), you can apply for a first-time passport right here in the U.S. without traveling back. VietVisas guides the whole file.
- What documents prove my Vietnamese nationality?
- Usually a Vietnamese birth certificate, old national ID, household registration, or other civil-status records. If yours are old or lost, VietVisas advises on how to supplement them.
- I'm already a U.S. citizen — can I still get a Vietnamese passport?
- In many cases yes, if you haven't renounced Vietnamese nationality. Message us so VietVisas can check your specific situation.
- Does a first-time passport take longer than a renewal?
- It can take a bit longer because nationality must be verified, but VietVisas helps assemble a complete file up front to avoid repeated requests for more documents.
