Work Permit & Global Mobility Services FAQs
What is the difference between a Work Permit and a Temporary Residence Card (TRC)?
The Vietnam’s Work Permit grants a foreign national the legal right to work in Vietnam. Conversely, the Temporary Residence Card (TRC) grants them the right to legally reside in the country for a long period without frequent visa renewal.
Does Elitez manage the full Work Permit Vietnam application process?
Yes. We handle the entire process, which includes document authentication, translation, filing the initial application, and managing complex procedures for renewals and extensions.
Can you assist with dependent visas for the expatriate's family?
Yes. Our Global Mobility team provides full advisory and support for obtaining necessary visas and documentation for the expatriate employee’s family members (dependents). In essence, this allows them to legally reside in Vietnam.
How long does the Work Permit application process typically take in Vietnam?
While the official timeline can vary, we therefore streamline the document preparation to ensure your application is submitted efficiently. As a result, we significantly reduce potential delays often experienced due to incomplete or improperly authenticated documentation.
Do you provide advisory on Work Permit exemption requirements in Vietnam?
Yes. We provide expert consultation to determine if a foreign employee is eligible for a Work Permit Exemption Certificate based on their job title, experience, or specialized knowledge. Subsequently, we manage the necessary filing process.
What happens if a Work Permit expires?
Allowing a Work Permit to expire results in severe legal penalties for both the employee and the employing company. For this reason, we implement a rigorous tracking system to proactively manage renewals well in advance.
