If applying through the embassy, business travelers need to submit a sponsorship letter from a licensed Vietnamese company. This letter should be from your trade partner or employer.
However, if you apply online, this sponsorship letter is not required and all business visas will be processed as usual. Currently, business visas fall under the DN category and will be valid for a maximum of 3 months.
