Hanoi belongs to the small group of posts that publish the total you actually pay rather than leaving you to add the components. Ottawa does the same thing in Canadian dollars; Hanoi does it in dong, and shows its working.
Passport fees, with the Embassy’s own arithmetic
| Route | Components | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Passport | VND 1,680,000 | VND 1,680,000 |
| Lost passport | VND 4,200,000 replacement + VND 700,000 affidavit of loss | VND 4,900,000 |
| ePassport replacement | VND 1,680,000 replacement + VND 700,000 affidavit | VND 2,380,000 |
| Travel document | VND 840,000, with VND 700,000 listed alongside |
Losing a passport is VND 4,900,000 against VND 1,680,000 for an ordinary one, a multiple of 2.92.
One inconsistency worth knowing: the adult page calls the second document on the replacement route an affidavit of explanation, and the minor page calls it an affidavit of loss. The total is VND 2,380,000 on both, so the money does not change, but the document you are asked to prepare might.
Requirement checklists are in the passport renewal abroad guide, and the other post that publishes all-in totals is covered in the Philippine Embassy Ottawa guide.
The 28,000 conversion
| Service | Hanoi | ÷ 28,000 | USD base |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport | VND 1,680,000 | 60.00 | $60.00 |
| Lost passport replacement | VND 4,200,000 | 150.00 | $150.00 |
| Affidavit | VND 700,000 | 25.00 | $25.00 |
| Travel document | VND 840,000 | 30.00 | $30.00 |
| Lost passport, all in | VND 4,900,000 | 175.00 | $150.00 + $25.00 |
| ePassport replacement, all in | VND 2,380,000 | 85.00 | $60.00 + $25.00 |
Six lines, one divisor, and the two totals resolve to the sums of their parts. The base schedule is published unconverted at Honolulu.
Marriage and citizenship
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Solemnization of marriage between Filipino citizens | VND 700,000 and VND 1,680,000 |
| Retention and reacquisition of Philippine citizenship | VND 1,680,000 and VND 700,000 |
The citizenship figure is the one line that does not fit the pattern. VND 1,680,000 converts to 60.00, where other posts publish 50.00 for a principal applicant under RA 9225. Nothing on the page explains the difference, so it is reported rather than reconciled. What the process involves is in the dual citizenship guide.
What this page does not cover
Hanoi publishes no street address, telephone number or office hours on the consular pages read for this guide, so none appears above. It publishes no processing times for any service and no expedite fee, and it does not label which of the two figures on the marriage and citizenship pages attaches to which step.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is a Philippine passport in Hanoi?
- VND 1,680,000, which is the 60 dollar base rate converted at VND 28,000 to the dollar.
- What does replacing a lost passport cost?
- VND 4,900,000 all in. The Embassy shows the working: VND 4,200,000 for the lost passport replacement plus VND 700,000 for the affidavit of loss.
- What is the VND 2,380,000 total?
- The ePassport replacement route: VND 1,680,000 for the replacement plus VND 700,000 for an affidavit. The adult page calls that second document an affidavit of explanation and the minor page calls it an affidavit of loss, so the label differs between the two pages while the total does not.
- Why does Hanoi show totals when other posts do not?
- It is a publishing choice, and a useful one. Most posts list component fees and leave you to add them. Hanoi and Ottawa both print the figure you actually hand over, which is the number worth budgeting for.
- How much is a travel document?
- VND 840,000, the 30 dollar base rate, with VND 700,000 listed alongside it on the same page.
- What does getting married at the Embassy cost?
- The solemnization page lists VND 700,000 and VND 1,680,000. At the Embassy's own conversion those are the 25 and 60 dollar base rates.
- How much is dual citizenship in Hanoi?
- The retention and reacquisition page lists VND 1,680,000 and VND 700,000. Note that VND 1,680,000 converts to 60 dollars rather than the 50 dollar principal-applicant rate published at other posts, so this one does not line up with the base schedule.
- Why are the dong figures such large round numbers?
- They are conversions at VND 28,000 to the US dollar. VND 1,680,000 is 60 dollars, VND 700,000 is 25 dollars, VND 4,200,000 is 150 dollars. Every published figure divides cleanly.
