Legal Services for Foreign Employees Applying for a Vietnam Temporary Residence Card

For foreign professionals working in Vietnam, obtaining a Vietnam Temporary Residence Card (TRC) is essential. Unlike short-term visas, a TRC allows employees to live and work in Vietnam for an extended period (1–3 years) without the need for constant visa renewals. This not only saves time and costs but also provides stability for long-term employment. For comprehensive legal assistance with TRC applications, please contact Apolo Lawyers via contact@apolo.com.vn or Hotline (+84) 903 419 479.

Legal Services for Foreign Employees Applying for a Vietnam Temporary Residence Card

1. Eligibility for TRC Based on Employment

Foreign employees are eligible to apply for a TRC if they:

• Hold a valid work permit or work permit exemption certificate issued in Vietnam.
• Are legally employed by a Vietnamese enterprise or foreign-invested company.
• Possess a passport valid for at least 13 months at the time of application.

Employers act as the sponsoring entity, and their business registration status must remain active for the TRC to be valid.

2. Key Documents Required

The TRC application process requires both employer and employee documents, such as:

• Valid passport and current visa of the employee.
• Work permit or exemption certificate.
• Employers business registration certificate.
• Form NA6 (company registration of foreign worker) and Form NA8 (employees TRC application).
• Confirmation of residence from local police.
• Company seal and authorized signature.

⚖Many applications are delayed or rejected due to errors in the work permit or company licensing documents. A lawyer ensures that all records are compliant before submission.
