Under the program, the Korea Tourism Organization in Vietnam (KTO Vietnam) provides VND 500,000 for each traveler whose multi-entry visa application is successfully granted through the 16 partner travel agencies. This support applies only after the multi-entry visa application is approved by the competent authority and does not extend to unsuccessful applications.

Vietnamese citizens who frequently travel to South Korea can apply for multi-entry visas valid for 5-10 years. The 10-year visa is available to several categories of applicants.
One category is metropolitan residents (C-3-91), for individuals who have continuously resided for over one year in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Da Nang. Applications require residency confirmation along with other documents specified by the reviewing authority. Additionally, the policy applies to other groups, such as professionals or those who have previously entered OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries.
The 10-year visa permits a maximum stay of 90 days per entry within its validity period. This extended validity allows eligible individuals greater flexibility in planning subsequent trips without needing to reapply for a visa each time. KTO's support program further helps reduce application costs for frequent travelers to South Korea.
