Competent authority for consular legalization in Vietnam

Foreigners working more than 3 months in Vietnam must have a work permit. With its experience, Vista will clearly advise on the appropriate specific conditions and documents to quickly and cost-effectively apply for a work permit.

Employees who are managers, executives, experts and technical workers, when granted a work permit, are entitled to a long-term temporary residence card according to the term of the work permit.

Foreign investors who contribute capital of more than 3 billion VND are eligible for a temporary residence card as an investment. Foreigners need to prove their capital contribution to a Vietnamese company with an investment certificate or business registration certificate showing the value of their capital contribution.

When a foreigner has been granted a temporary residence card, he or she has the right to sponsor a temporary residence card for his wife and minor children in Vietnam to ensure the right to legally reside, work and live in Vietnam.

If foreigners come to Vietnam for a short term to work, applying for a business visa is the right choice. At the end of the visa term, foreigners who have not completed their work and want to continue to stay can extend their visa.
