📢 IMPORTANT NOTES FOR FOREIGNERS ENTERING AND WORKING IN VIETNAM 🇻🇳
If you are a foreign national planning to enter and work in Vietnam, please take note of the following important requirements:
✈️ 1. Pre-Arrival Information Declaration
Before entering Vietnam, foreign nationals should check and complete the required pre-arrival information declaration applicable at international ports of entry.
🌐 The declaration can be completed at:
Pre-Arrival Information – Vietnam Immigration Department

🏠 2. Temporary Residence Declaration After Entry
After entering Vietnam and arriving at your place of accommodation, please make sure that your temporary residence information is properly declared by your accommodation provider/landlord to the local police within the prescribed time limit.
⚠️ Important: The declaration must be properly maintained after each entry into Vietnam and throughout your stay. If you extend your stay at the same accommodation or change your place of residence, please check and make sure that your temporary residence declaration is not interrupted.
❗ Failure to declare or any interruption in your temporary residence declaration may result in administrative penalties and may affect the review of your future visa or Temporary Residence Card applications.
👤 3. Notification of Employment of Foreign Workers
Where a foreign national enters Vietnam for work and falls under a Work Permit exemption, the sponsoring/employing company should check and complete the required notification to the competent authority, where applicable under Vietnamese law.
⚠️ Failure to comply with the applicable notification requirements may result in legal risks and administrative penalties.
📄 4. Work Permit
If you plan to work in Vietnam on a long-term basis, you and your sponsoring/employing company should check the applicable requirements and complete the procedures for a Work Permit or Work Permit Exemption Confirmation, as applicable, before commencing work.
❗ Working in Vietnam without the required Work Permit or other applicable authorization may result in administrative penalties for both the foreign employee and the employing company.
