A cooperation deal signed between FV Hospital and the French Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City allows employees with a full-time labour contract at FV Hospital to enjoy privileges when applying for a Schengen visa, which permits a multi-entry stay in Europe.

Under the deal, FV employees will not have to make an appointment to submit their application form. Moreover, their applications will be prioritised, with fewer documents to be submitted.

FV employees will benefit from receiving a visa valid from one to three years, depending on the specific requirements indicated in the FV Hospital letter of guarantee. The visa processing time can take up to 15 working days.
