Asia Country Visa
Visa filings for Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos and beyond — coordinated through our ASEAN co-counsel network.
Statutory framework
Engagement governed by Vietnamese law; lodgement and issuance subject to the destination country's immigration code (e.g., Thailand Immigration Act B.E. 2522; Singapore Immigration Act 1959; Malaysia Immigration Act 1959/63; Indonesia Law No. 6/2011 on Immigration; Philippines CA 613; Cambodia Sub-Decree on Visas; Lao PDR Immigration Decree No. 477).
Our practice operates strictly within this framework. We do not issue stamps or grant approvals — we prepare, file and follow up on your behalf with the relevant authority.

What we wish
every client knew.
Pitfalls and constraints we see weekly. Not legal advice — but the questions you should ask your counsel before signing anything.
Each destination country has its own document standard — Thailand requires recent financial statements; Singapore EP requires the employer to pre-register at MOM; Indonesia KITAS requires a PT PMA or registered sponsor.
Visa-on-arrival is being progressively replaced by e-visa or pre-arrival approval across ASEAN. We will confirm the current channel for your nationality at engagement.
Some jurisdictions (Singapore, Malaysia) require a personal interview at the consulate; we will brief and accompany you where allowed.
Misrepresentation of purpose (e.g., entering on tourist for work) can trigger a multi-year regional entry ban under ASEAN information-sharing arrangements.
A different
standard of care.
Named-counsel accountability
Every filing is signed by a bar-registered counsel — never by an anonymous case officer.
Bilingual evidence packs
All exhibits prepared in EN/VI with notarial certification — accepted first-time by the relevant authority.
Same-day filing capacity
On-site presence at Hanoi, HCMC and Da Nang Immigration Departments enables emergency lodgement.
Plain-language reporting
You receive a written status email every Friday of an open matter — without exception.
