You would guess in any other country in the world, this would be an easy and straight forward process, but Vietnam is special. I had this same exact situation.

First, I renewed my passport abroad and came back into Vietnam with old passport (void as it was cut by my countries police) and residence card, and new passport. Saigon airport police checked and then voided my residence card (by cutting it) giving me a 1 month stamp to get the paperwork done.

Then my company has had to reapply for a new working permit and a new residence card.

All worked, but a big hassle as always.
