Visa Questions

The visa at the airport doesn't allow you to work. You must have a VN registered business employ you. Americans can get a 1 year multiple visa for 185usd, but you must exit VN every three months and re-enter. This visa doesn't allow you to work legally.

Yea but can you change the status of your visa while in the country? Or do you have to arrive with the working visa?

Enter on a tourist visa, then apply for a work permit, once you have a work permit you can apply for a TRC(temporary residence card)

^ impossible so im constantly told - must have a biz visa from the same company that u want to get a work permit for

If he doesn't have a just job with a company he must enter on a tourist visa or the one year business visa that basically works like a tourist visa these days.

Hi
If you want to go to Vietnam for working, you should visit Vietnamese Embassy in your home country for applying the visa.
