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.
ECFMG-certified from 2019 — USMLE Steps pathway confirmed for graduates; NMC India-return licensing pathway is NOT confirmed., Students targeting India-return NMC/NExT practice should NOT choose Tan Tao; this program is designed for USMLE and international pathways.

Campus logistics and accommodation planning should be confirmed directly with the university during the admission cycle.
Students should verify day-to-day settling-in support, local language adaptation, and arrival guidance directly with the university.
The campus is a self-contained development; the surrounding Long An Province environment is rural and safe but removed from city infrastructure. This option works best for students who actively want a private-campus model and a different academic flavor from the standard Vietnamese public route.
