Educational documents
Visa documents
September
Start document preparation and application planning at least 3–6 months before the September intake.
Seat availability, invitation timelines, fee notices, hostel options, and visa processing should be rechecked for the current cycle.
Treat scholarships and fee waivers in Vietnam as university-specific unless you have written confirmation of a named scheme. Ask the admissions office for the current discount rules, eligibility criteria, and payment schedule before treating a scholarship as part of your budget.
Ask whether fee waivers are merit-based, automatic, limited-seat, renewal-based, or only available in later years.
Request the written scholarship terms, the net payable tuition, and whether hostel or other charges are excluded.
For MBBS abroad, the key decision is not campus placement. It is whether the university, course structure, teaching medium, clinical exposure, and post-study pathway remain aligned with the licensing route you want to pursue after graduation.
NMC compliance is claimed — independently verify with NMC India before enrolling; WDOMS listing also requires direct verification., Students should plan independent FMGE and NExT preparation alongside the degree; international intake only began in 2024.
