Immigration and Work Permits

In General —

Foreign companies that have only representative offices in Vietnam rather than full business operations are not allowed to directly recruit local workers but must go through local hiring agencies approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs or the people’s committee of a city or province.

外國公司在越南僅設有代表處，而不從事全面業務活動，不得直接招募當地工人，而必須經過外交部，勞工，戰爭傷殘和社會事務部或人民政府批准的當地僱用機構市或省的委員會。

Companies may hire foreign employees for jobs that require highly technical or management skills for a limited period provided the employers establish training programs that enable Vietnamese workers to eventually replace the foreign employees. Employers also must provide an explanation of their need to employ foreign workers and obtain a written approval from the competent state authority.

如果雇主制定培訓計劃，使越南工人最終能夠替代外國僱員，則公司可以在有限的時間內，僱用外國僱員從事需要高度技術或管理技能的工作。雇主也必須說明他們僱用外國工人的必要性，並獲得國家主管當局的書面批准。

Visas and Work Permits —

Foreign workers must be at least 18 years old, must obtain a visa to enter the country, and must have a health certificate showing they are in good health. They also must have documentation of holding a bachelors degree, at a minimum, along with three years of confirmed work experience. If they are to be employed in Vietnam for more than three months, their prospective employers must obtain a work permit for them from a local labor office. A work permit is granted for the period of the labor contract, but not for longer than 24 months, though it can be extended.

外國僱員須年滿18歲，獲得簽證才能進入該國，並且必須具有表明其身體狀況良好的健康證明。
此外必須具有至少擁有學士學位的文件以及三年的工作經驗。
如果要在越南工作三個月以上，則其準雇主必須從當地勞工局獲得工作許可。
可以在勞動合同的期限內授予工作許可，可以延長，但最長不能超過24個月。

Vietnam waives the visa requirement for residents of some 55 countries—not including the U.S.—but it is always best to check with the Vietnamese consular office to determine specific visa requirements.

越南免除了約55個國家/地區（不包括美國）的居民的簽證要求
