Vietnam Introduces New Business VNeID Requirement for Online Immigration Processes

Recent updates in Vietnam introduce a new requirement for businesses and organisations registered in the country. From 1 June 2026, all entities must use a Business VNeID to access the National Public Service Portal and the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) portal. The previous login method using a company e-signature or token is no longer in use, with no transition period provided. This change has significant implications for employers managing immigration processes across Southeast Asia.
