Map relationship and sponsorship evidence for a status change. The working scope is confirmed only after reviewing the circumstances, available records and current requirements.
What you receive
- 01
Statutory gateway test — Vietnamese law permits an in-country change of visa purpose in a closed list of cases only. If your file falls outside that list, the lawful route is to exit and apply anew — and we tell you that at the assessment stage, before you spend anything, rather than filing a doomed application and billing you for it. For a family conversion the gateway is a lawfully evidenced relationship with a sponsor who themselves holds a qualifying status.
- 02
Civil-status documents made usable — Marriage or birth records legalised and notarially translated — for a conversion these are examined more closely than for a first-time application, because the file is changing category.
- 03
Sponsor verification and pack — The sponsor's own status verified first, then Forms NA2 and NA16 or the individual guarantee application prepared.
- 04
Filing and liaison under mandate — Filed and tracked with the Immigration Department to decision.
- 05
Handover and the residence-card step — The TT visa or residence card, plus a written plan for the Temporary Residence Card that usually follows — converting once and then stabilising is cheaper than converting repeatedly.
Delivery routes
Choose the level of support that fits your capacity, timing and desired control. Each party's role is confirmed before work begins.
Route A — You act, we guide
You keep control of execution. LotusGuard provides the costed roadmap, working notes and review checkpoints.
Route B — We execute under mandate
LotusGuard coordinates and files the agreed work within the authority and scope set out in writing.
Route C — Independent third-party QC
When a specialist provider is required, LotusGuard vets the provider and supervises delivery for a disclosed management fee.
Timing and quote
Fees are fixed against the scope stated in the quote and applied consistently. The quote identifies included work, exclusions, assumptions and any pass-through costs.
Legal notice
LotusGuard provides procedural advisory and files your dossier under a power of attorney. The decision to grant, refuse or revoke rests solely with the competent Vietnamese authority; we do not sponsor applicants and we do not promise an outcome. Your original passport stays with you — we work from certified copies wherever the law allows. Government fees, official charges, translation and consular legalisation are payable by the client at cost, at the published rate.
