Marc E. Knapper Ambassador | U.S. Embassy & Consulate In Vietnam

Starting in February 2025, the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City will introduce a new version of visa foils. This change applies to both the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit and the Immigrant Visa Unit as part of efforts to improve security and efficiency in visa issuance.

The transition date for the new visa foil will differ by embassy or consulate, meaning that current visa foils will continue to be used alongside the new version. All existing visa foils will remain valid until their expiration date unless they are revoked or canceled. The U.S. Embassy in Hanoi is also set to adopt these new visa foils in the coming weeks.
