The selected participant travel agencies Hanoi Red Tour, Naci Travel, Hanoi Iso Tours, Hanoi Tourist, South Pacific Travel, and Vietfoot Travel.

Visa granting formalities will remain unchanged for all other cases. Visa application documents will be submitted through appointments by the French embassy and consulate general.
