Master Agent in Vietnam
Your official representative and recruitment engine in Vietnam
VNIS acts as Master Agent for accredited institutions - connecting you with a vetted sub-agent network, managing recruitment execution and representing your brand across Vietnam.
How VNIS delivers master agent
Vetted sub-agent network
Access pre-screened, performance-managed recruiting partners nationwide.
Official representation
VNIS represents your institution locally with full compliance.
Recruitment execution
From lead generation to enrolment - managed end to end.
Transparent reporting
Clear pipeline visibility and performance dashboards.
Why Master Agent
Vietnam sends tens of thousands of students abroad every year, and almost all of them go through an agent. Reaching them without a channel means competing on paid ads against institutions that already have counsellors recommending them by name.
As Master Agent, VNIS becomes your official representative in Vietnam. We recruit and vet sub-agents, brief them on your programmes, hold them to performance standards, and stay accountable for the pipeline - so you manage one relationship instead of thirty.
You keep control of admissions decisions and commission policy. VNIS handles execution, compliance and reporting on the ground.
Everything your master agent team handles
Vetted sub-agent network
Agencies screened for placement history, student quality and follow-up discipline - not just anyone willing to sign.
Official representation
VNIS represents your institution at fairs, school visits and agent briefings under your brand guidelines.
Agent training & materials
Counsellors are briefed on entry requirements, scholarships and what makes your institution different - in Vietnamese.
Application quality control
Files are checked before submission, cutting the incomplete applications that waste your admissions team's time.
Commission administration
One contract, one invoice, one reconciliation - instead of chasing thirty agencies.
Pipeline reporting
Enquiries, applications, offers and enrolments by agent and by intake.
Getting started in 5 steps
Market assessment
We map where your programmes realistically compete in Vietnam, and where they do not. If the fit is weak, we tell you before you sign.
Agreement & positioning
Master Agent agreement, commission structure, brand guidelines and the message counsellors will actually use.
Sub-agent activation
Recruit and brief agencies matched to your level and price point, in the regions that matter for you.
Campaign & events
Agent briefings, school visits and fairs to put your name in front of families.
Pipeline management
Application quality control, follow-up and reporting through to enrolment.
You have a Vietnam target but nobody in Vietnam.
Opening an office is slow and expensive. Signing thirty agents individually is unmanageable. A Master Agent gives you one accountable partner who runs the whole channel.
Who Master Agent is for
- Institutions with a Vietnam recruitment target but no in-country presence
- Schools already receiving Vietnamese applications who want to scale predictably
- Institutions that tried individual agent agreements and found them unmanageable
- Pathway and foundation providers needing counsellor-level explanation of a complex offer

What institutions ask about master agent
Do we lose control of admissions?
No. VNIS manages the channel and prepares applications; every admission and scholarship decision stays with your team. We work to your criteria, not around them.
How is this different from signing agents directly?
Direct agreements mean you carry the vetting, training, compliance and commission reconciliation for every agency. As Master Agent, VNIS carries that and remains accountable for the result.
Can we start smaller?
Yes. Basic Listing is free and puts you in front of Vietnamese families and agents immediately. Many institutions start there, attend one event, then decide on representation.
What does it cost?
Master Agent engagements are scoped to your target, territory and level, so pricing is quoted rather than listed. Request a quote and we will send a proposal against your actual recruitment goal.
