Important notice
NamVisa provides passport renewal document preparation assistance only. We do not issue passports, represent any embassy or consulate, or act on behalf of any government. Our role is limited to helping you prepare the correct documents, understand photo and form requirements, and submit your application through the correct official channels. Passports are issued exclusively by your country's embassy or consulate.
Help completing passport renewal application forms for your specific nationality. We review your entries for completeness, consistency, and formatting — but the form must be signed and submitted by you (or per your embassy's requirements). Each country has its own form; we help you navigate the differences.
Detailed guidance on passport photo specifications for your nationality — exact dimensions, background colour (white, off-white, or light blue), expression, head position, glasses, and clothing rules. We help you understand what is acceptable so your photos are not rejected.
Checklist of required supporting documents based on your nationality and situation: current passport, Vietnamese visa or residence status, proof of address, and any country-specific requirements. Submission guidance for mail-in, drop-box, or in-person appointment at your embassy or consulate.
Who this helps
If you are living in Vietnam on a work visa, retirement visa, or dependent visa — or even just travelling long-term — your passport will eventually need renewal. The process is different for every nationality, every embassy, and every situation. We help you prepare the right documents so the renewal goes as smoothly as possible.
Nationalities we support

Common scenarios
Your passport has less than 6 months of validity and you need to renew before it impacts your visa status or travel plans. We help you start the renewal process with the right documents for your nationality.
If your passport has already expired, the renewal process may require additional documents or a different application form. We clarify the requirements for your specific situation and nationality.
Lost or stolen passports require a different process — police report, replacement application, and emergency travel document if needed. We provide guidance on the document preparation steps for your nationality.
