is now very popular in the world. For example, providing 
online education services (e-learning), students can sit at 
home to study, foreign teachers also do not need to travel to 
learners' places to teach, the provision of services, etc. 
Services can be provided via the internet, by phone, etc. Or 
for the provision of legal services, lawyers can advise their 
foreign clients by phone or email without having to meet 
face-to-face. 
 
Consumption of services abroad
Consumption of services abroad means the supply of 
services in the territory of one member to the consumer of 
services of any other member. This mode of supply is 
typical of some service industries such as tourism or health 
care services. For example, tourists come to a country and 
use hotel and travel services in that country. 
 
Commercial presence
It is a method of providing services by a service supplier of 
one member, through the commercial presence in the 
territory of another member. An example can be taken of 
ANZ - one of the first three foreign banks to be granted a 
license to establish in Vietnam. This is the provision of 
banking services through commercial presence. 
 
Presence of natural persons
It is a mode of service delivery whereby a service is 
supplied to a supplier of one member, through the presence 
of that supplier in the territory of another member. However, 
in this mode of supply, the service provider is only a natural 
person. In fact, this mode of supply also appears a lot. For 
example, inviting teachers from foreign universities to 
Vietnam to teach is the provision of educational services 
through the presence of natural persons.
