If you are a foreigner living in Vietnam, you may be asked to provide a CT07 Residence Confirmation Form for various administrative or immigration purposes. This document is often required when applying for long-term visas, residence cards, or special immigration benefits such as the 5-year Vietnam visa exemption.
In this guide, we will walk you through how to fill out the CT07 form step by step (updated for 2026), explain when it is required, and how to determine whether CT07 applies to your specific immigration case.

The CT07 form (Giấy xác nhận thông tin về cư trú) is an official residence confirmation document issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department or local police authority. It certifies your registered place of residence in Vietnam.
The CT07 form may be required when:
Applying for long-term visas or residence cards
Supporting immigration or civil procedures
Applying for the Vietnam 5-year visa exemption (in certain cases)
Verifying lawful residence in Vietnam
Important: Not every applicant needs CT07. Whether it is required depends on your nationality, visa type, and current residence status. We provide case-by-case consultation to avoid unnecessary paperwork.
It allows eligible foreigners—most commonly spouses or children of Vietnamese citizens or overseas Vietnamese—to enter Vietnam multiple times without applying for a visa for each entry.
In some cases, applicants may be asked to submit a CT07 Residence Confirmation Form as a supporting document. This is usually requested to help confirm:
Current residence in Vietnam
Legal address registration
Consistency of immigration history
However, requirements can vary depending on nationality, immigration background, and current residence status. CT07 is not mandatory for all applicants, and it is only required in specific situations.
Before filling out the CT07 form, prepare the following:
Valid passport (original + copy)
Current Vietnam visa or residence card
Temporary residence registration (online or police-issued)
Request form for residence confirmation
Power of attorney (if applying via an agent)
