Please advise if a Vietnam Drug Free Certificate is required for working in Vietnam. Been told by an agent this is required from Vietnam Narcotics Law Enforcement Agency.
Cost $800.
Think it is a scam.
Has anybody else had this.

Hi Kevin,
I have over 02 years working in the legal professional and I've never heard of such Certificate, to work in Vietnam you would need a Work Permit. In order to obtain the Work Permit, you must have a Health Certificate. You can get a Health Certificate by taking a health examination at a competent hospital and the cost would be, in my opinion, less than 100 USD. I also never have heard of the Vietnam Narcotics Law Enforcement Agency, there's no such Agency in Vietnam.

In conclusion, it's definitely a scam.
