Visa Types for Vietnam

Vietnam offers various visa types, each serving different purposes. For those intending to work, the primary visa is the LD visa, which requires a valid work permit. Other common visa types include tourist visas (DL) issued for tourism purposes and typically valid for short stays, business visas (DN) issued to foreigners entering Vietnam for business purposes, such as attending conferences, negotiating contracts, or establishing a commercial presence, and investor visas (DT) granted to foreign investors in Vietnam, with the validity depending on the investment amount and type. The specific requirements and validity of each visa type vary, and it’s crucial to obtain the correct one for your intended activities in Vietnam.

Vietnam’s Work Permit System

Vietnam has different categories of work permits, although the most common one is for foreign employees working under labor contracts. The work permit system is governed by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and its provincial departments (DOLISA). Employers are responsible for applying for work permits on behalf of their foreign employees. The permits are typically valid for a maximum of two years and can be renewed. Foreigners are not allowed to commence working until the work permit has been officially issued.
