Will divorce cause my temporary residency card to immediately expire?

Wife informed me a couple of days ago she wants out, and I don't see any hope for reconciliation. So the title is basically my question, or if it doesn't do so immediately how long will I have? I have roughly a year and a half left, and I was thinking of probably staying here until around Christmas or so.

Also, if someone doesn't mind linking me to the latest regulations on divorce, it would be appreciated. Despite her moving out and requesting it verbally, she has indicated she may not be cooperative in the process. Probably a job for a lawyer, but if anyone knows the latest regs that would be awesome. No, I didn't do anything horrible, I'm sure I could have been better, but nothing like that. She's just being pissy and maybe she will change her mind and cooperate later, but who knows?

This may help.

Divorce

Thank you.

Appreciate the link about divorce, but can anyone help me as to what will happen with the residency card? It sounds like the whole process will take some time, but getting married was a lot faster than advertised. I did have certain plans here and plus with COVID I'm not sure if I want to rush to get out of here anytime in the next few months. I suppose Vietnam can turn into an epidemic zone as well, but we've yet to see that in a Tropical country, so I have my doubts.

I presume TRC will remain valid until you are legally divorced, because you are still married.

Press her to file a mutual divorce application and settle money matters (Properties and money gained after marriage should partition equally) out of court and informed them. Then it will be easy for both of you. Otherwise, legal formalities take long time to finish if one of you are not willing to co operate. Of course her eye may be in your pocket. That's why she hesitate to co operate.

So the title is basically my question, or if it doesn't do so immediately how long will I have? I have roughly a year and a half left.

Legally, you should surrender your spousal TRC if it still valid after divorce same as in the Work Permit TRC. But most of people use until the validity period. Sponsor have the right to cancel your TRC in Work Permit (Yes, I guess you can stay with that TRC because of it may take time if she is adamant ).

Also, if someone doesn't mind linking me to the latest regulations on divorce, it would be appreciated. Despite her moving out and requesting it verbally .

Yes you need to seek a lawyer's help in case my suggestion does not work.

Thank you. I do have a work permit as well, does that give me residency (I hope so, it was quite expensive)?  The work permit is a sheet of paper, not a card.

If you have a work permit you can apply for a work related TRC.
