There is no 5 year visa for spouse 
There is a VEC (Visa Exemption Certificate) which allowed spouse married to a Vietnamese Citizen can apply but the authority stopped to give new one. Instead, as a spouse you can apply for 1 year visa. If you are a foreign lawyer who has a Vietnamese Lawyer License then you are eligible to obtain a 5 year visa
Here is the new visa categories and duration which posted one of our member "bluenz":
Visa Vietnam
You can apply for 5-year visa exemption when you are husbands/wives and children of Vietnamese citizens .
