Work Permits & Visas for Foreign Employees in Vietnam
Most foreign employees working in Vietnam require a valid work permit or documented exemption, and applications fail on small documentation details. IBC identifies the right authorization route, then prepares, legalizes, and files the full package so your people start on schedule.
Work permits, visas and residence cards — managed end to end
Vietnam's work permit process runs in strict order: employer approval to use foreign labor, home-country document legalization, the work permit itself, and then a temporary residence card so your employee isn't renewing visas every few months. Each step depends on the last, and incomplete submissions get bounced, resetting your timeline.
IBC manages the entire chain:
- Right route identified: permit category and any exemptions that apply.
- Every document checked before submission, then filed and tracked with the Department of Labor.
- Renewals calendared so a valid permit never quietly lapses into a compliance problem.
Combined with our HR & payroll service, the labor contract, permit, and payroll registration for each foreign hire happen as one coordinated process.
