FAQ

In order to enter Vietnam, a foreigner needs a visa issued by the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate. A Vietnamese visa can be granted while in a third-party country or from within Vietnam. However, to work in Vietnam and remain for an extended period, foreigners need to apply for a longer-term multiple-entry work visa. Expat teachers can enter Vietnam on a tourist visa, but as soon as they have obtained their work permit, they are asked to change the purpose of their visas immediately from tourist visas to business visas.

No, a work permit is required when working in Vietnam.

Currently, work permits for foreigners are valid for a maximum of two years. Authorities are becoming stricter regarding work permits. Those who violate the regulations by working in Vietnam without a work permit may be penalized or, if unable to meet work permit requirements, deported back to their home countries.
