Looking around on social media plus visa agents, there seems to be confusion about how long the health certificate has to be valid for. Some say 6 months.

Health check for work permit. Social media says at least 6 months and others 12.

Visa agents - most say 6 months but I found 2 pretty large companies whom say 12 months.

Any info about this and a link to a government site that confirms it in Vietnamese.

Just gone through this issue with my HR in Hai Phong few months ago to get the right info. In short it's 12 months.

Here is the link (in vietnamese) that regulated in Circular 14/2013 from VN health department BYT (Bo Y Te)........ https://thukyluat.vn/vb/thong-tu-14-201 … ash=dieu_8

extract from this regulation (in vn) "....Vấn đề khám sức khỏe được quy định chung tại Thông tư 14/2013/TT-BYT. Theo đó các cơ sở khám chữa bệnh đã được cấp giấy phép hoạt động đều có thể thực hiện hoạt động khám sức khỏe và cấp giấy khám sức khỏe. Giấy khám sức khỏe có thời hạn là 12 tháng, như nhau đối với mọi cơ sở cấp chứ không có phân biệt......"

Hope this will help to answer your question.
