Apostille for Vietnam
Apostille for Vietnam — for work permits, FDI business registration, investment visas, and marriage documents. Viet Nam's accession to the Hague Apostille Convention entered into force on 11 September 2026, so Korean documents are apostilled instead of legalized at the Vietnamese Embassy. The rules are new, so check with the receiving agency.
Requirements for Vietnam
- Government and local-authority documents are apostilled by the Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA); notarized private documents by the Ministry of Justice
- Viet Nam's accession entered into force on 11 September 2026 — no Vietnamese Embassy legalization step for Korean documents
