I'm ESL teacher working in hcmc. My work permit expired last month. I'm now working for a new employer on part-time basis, but they won't sponsor work permit for part timers (but I have the necessary documents ready). Any advice from anyone: how I can do work permit as a part-time and or freelance teacher

Hi Adam.

The company's business license and the employment authorization letter of Department of Labor are two of the mandatory documents we need to be able to make a work permit for you. Therefore, without these two documents, it is impossible to make a renewal. You need the sponsorship of your company to continue to get a new work permit.

Thanks.

After making 2-year work permit and trc,  if I do not continue same job for 2-year then my sponsor can cancel the wp and trc both? (or wp only?)  What obligations will I have with the sponsor?

Hello Adam,
I am sorry for the late reply.
When you quit your job at the old company, return your work permit and temporary resident card so that they can cancel it. Also, ask for resignation form from them in order to start another work permit and temporary residence card at the new company.
Thank you.
