Depending on the purpose of the visa, the Embassy or Consulate may require you to prepare additional documents.

3. Financial proof when applying for a foreign tourist visa
When making visas for Vietnamese people, countries with strong financial backgrounds want documents with stable economic and financial conditions to avoid illegal immigration. There are 3 most common types of documents proving financial ability:
- Bank Book
The Embassy/Consulate not only needs you to have a large amount of money in your savings book, but also wants to be proven that it is a legal amount with a clear accumulated origin.
- Bank account statement with balance above the specified amount
(Depending on the requirements of each country you need to apply for a visa. For example, the application for a visa to France will require an account balance of more than 15000$)
- Certificate of right to use and own valuable assets such as Cars, Real Estate. This will be a factor to help your visa pass rate increase
4. Proof of travel plans when applying for a visa to go abroad
