WORK PERMIT IN VIETNAM
NOTES ON ILLEGAL APPLICATIONS

A work permit is one of the legal conditions allowing foreign workers to work in Vietnam, issued by a competent state agency. Foreign workers must present their work permit when requested by a competent state agency. Employers who employ foreign workers to work for them without a work permit will be recognized as a violation.

The maximum term of a work permit is 02 years. In case of extension, it can only be extended once for a maximum period of 02 years. The work permit is invalidated at the end of its term, upon termination of the labor contract, because the content of the labor contract is not consistent with the content of the issued work permit, or because the work is not in accordance with the provisions of the work permit, according to the written notice of the foreign party ceasing to send foreign workers to work in Vietnam or when the work permit is revoked.

Applying and issuing work permits for foreign employees in Vietnam shall be strictly complied on laws and regulations on cases, conditions, documentations.

Since 2020, many employers and foreign employees along with the work permit service agencies in Vietnam have been facing with legal troubles, including investigation, criminal prosecution, revocation of work permit and expulsion… due to illegal applications for work permits.

One of the main reasons that the employers and foreign employees did not understand the legal requirements and trusted some agencies who promised can obtain work permit without legal papers.

Therefore, we would like to remind you to review your work permit application, especially in case you obtained this work permit without legal papers. The advance reviewing can help to identify any potential risks and prevent it may happen.

How to identify your lawful papers and applications, please compare to our standard legal requirements and procedures by laws as follow:
