e-Visa for a scouting stay; separate grounds for long-term residence
A tourist e-visa can cover up to 90 days, single or multiple entry. It is not residence or work permission. A longer-term plan needs an eligible work, investment or family basis.
$25 single-entry / $50 multiple-entry e-visa
Documents for this route
- Passport, digital portrait and passport identity-page image; travel dates, accommodation address and selected entry point.
- For local work: employer-led work permission; prepare diplomas and professional evidence for legalization in the issuing country.
- For families: each member needs documents and status; a school reservation does not grant residence.
What to do before departure
Order police certificates from the required countries. Check whether validity is measured from issue, entry or filing. Prepare birth, marriage and name-change records; check apostille or consular legalization, treaty exemptions and translation requirements. An apostille and a translation are different procedures.
Leave a tailored power of attorney with a trusted person: specify banks, property, document collection and representation. Confirm each institution will accept it, any substitution authority and expiry. Do not hand over banking passwords.

Check teaching language, available places and the school run before renting. Da Nang offers fewer international-program choices than Ho Chi Minh City.
Check each family member's residence, work and study rights separately. Children may need custody documents, the other parent's consent specifically to residence, school records and vaccination history. Pet preparation depends on departure, transit, airline and destination veterinary rules.
