Hi everyone! I want to know how many days business Visa is issued under the COVID-19 situation. I’m Japanese.  Is there anyone (all nationalities) who entered border with business Visa here?

New business visa is not issued under Covid unless you're a business manager of an enterprise essential to the country.

Do you have an official source on which to base your statement?

The full procedure is minimum 4 weeks, if everything is OK with your paperwork (sponsor, diploma, etc.) and if your company knows the process well. 6 weeks is more realistic, even 2 months. I depends of many things, I read many testimonials ranging from 1 month to 3 months...

Ok, then show the LEGAL regulations related to this. Your word is not what people are going to trust.

It's "ridiculous" of YOU to purport to have current and official information to share, when you are obviously clueless about recent developments:

Entry into Viet Nam suspended, restricted: spokesperson

Amid complicated developments of the pandemic in the world, Viet Nam has decided to temporarily suspend and restrict the entry of foreigners and overseas Vietnamese in order to focus on implementing pandemic prevention and control measures in the country, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang said.

Hang made the statement at a regular press conference of the Foreign Ministry held virtually on May 13, in response to questions about whether Viet Nam intends to change its entry policy in the time ahead.

She noted that earlier Viet Nam had also suspended entry of foreigners and only allowed entry of investors, technical experts, highly-skilled workers and business managers on the condition of meeting quarantine and medical requirements.

At the same time, the Foreign Ministry is closely following and keeping updated on the pandemic situation in other countries and coordinating with relevant agencies so as to make appropriate decisions on relaxing or tightening entry of each group of people, thus ensuring the double goal of containing the pandemic and recovering economic growth, Hang said...

Is it out of the question that the OP might fall into one of the categories of "investors, technical experts, highly-skilled workers and business managers?"

You might be understandably misinterpreting the Google Translation in my post, as the syntax is somewhat strangled.

Currently, no one is allowed admittance; not even people in those categories.

Thank you for the clarification.  That certainly shows the perils of Google Translate as the translated text pretty clearly implies that "experts" will still be admitted.
