Independent information only—not a legal eligibility decision. No professional introduction or outcome is guaranteed.
The historical operational guidance published July 27–28, 2026 focused on sponsor compliance, record consistency, and early dossier preparation. It does not replace current authority instructions. Current route fit still depends on sponsor readiness, evidence, document timing, data consistency, and whether the case follows a general SVEC or IFC-linked route.
Who UD1 might fit
UD1 is for documented, high-merit cases — not general remote work or low-friction residency shopping.

The dated July 27–28, 2026 operational briefing describes an execution posture at that time. It is historical, not confirmation of current operating practice; before treating a case as file-ready, confirm route fit, the competent filing channel, sponsor or IFC readiness, and current document requirements.
Read the dated July briefingEligibility depends on the applicable legal route and supporting evidence. Law 118/2025/QH15 provides the general UĐ1/UĐ2 framework; general UĐ1 eligibility depends on the applicable high-quality digital-technology or other legally preferential basis, sponsor, and evidence. IFC-specific categories such as critical investors, experts, managers, and highly qualified workers must be assessed under the separate instrument that applies to the IFC case; a job title or profile alone does not establish eligibility.
Review the eligibility frameworkVietnam's standard e-visa portal (evisa.gov.vn) is not presented here as the Vietnam UD1 filing channel. Current guidance distinguishes IFC-linked authority processing from sponsor-led Form NA-02 preparation; confirm the competent authority, accepted channel, and whether VNeID Level-2 is required for the specific route.
Review the filing channelsNo. General talent-residency and IFC-linked provisions have different legal bases. Confirm the applicable duration, issuing authority, and any tax treatment separately; do not assume every UD1 case receives a ten-year card or IFC tax relief.
Compare the legal routesFor sponsor-filed Form NA-02 cases, confirm whether the current route requires verified VNeID Level-2 access, identify the authorized filer, and reconcile identity, passport, travel, and sponsor details before submission. Also confirm the current document-authentication method and timing; IFC governing-authority processing is a separate channel.
Use the sponsor-readiness guideVietnam’s UĐ2 symbol is the dependent route associated with UĐ1 principals. Dependent residence does not itself establish work authorization, so each family member’s residence, documents, schooling, healthcare, and employment position should be checked separately.
Read the UĐ2 family guideUse the readiness assessment to identify preparation gaps. For a sponsor, tax, relocation, or employer question, submit the information intake. No professional introduction or outcome is guaranteed.
