I apologise in advance if this has already been covered in another thread, this is my first post & I have been searching but have not found what I am looking for, I'm hoping that someone can assist.
Our Australian company has been working with our Vietnamese client Saigon Coop and works are expected to continue for some time to come. Technically we are a consultant to Saigon Coop.
Saigon Coop is not my employer.
To assist our company has decided to send myself and have offered to send my family (wife and 2 children) to locally assist our client in Saigon. We are Australian' and are looking to stay in Vietnam for a period of 2years.
From Australia I am only able to apply for a 3month multiple entry business Visa, and my family are only able to apply for 3month multiple entry tourist visas. All of which will need to be extended for a longer period once in Vietnam.
I am extremely confused as to the process of obtaining a visa for a long period, 12month minimum for myself to work and for my family to be with me.
I am sure that its easier once there, but is someone able to explain the process? or refer me to an individual that can assist? I have been reading a lot of warnings about using visa consultants or visa on arrival companies, so who do you trust?
My children are quite young, <1 and 2 year old, so ideally we don't want to be travelling every three months in and out of the country.
Thank you in advance for any help.
