Attest university degree certificates for submission to Vietnam
Degree certificates and academic diplomas required for submission to authorities in Vietnam or in support of Vietnamese visa applications should be legalized in the country where the university that issued the degree is based. Diplomas are generally legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then attested at the local Vietnamese embassy or consulate.
Vietnam is not a member of the Apostille Convention. This means that all degree certificates and course transcripts required for submission in support of Vietnamese visa and residency applications have to be attested by the Vietnamese embassy in the country where the issuing university is based.
