1. General Introduction Work permit services for foreigners in Tuyen Quang province.

A work permit is a mandatory procedure for foreigners to legally work in Vietnam. Besides fulfilling legal requirements, the permit also protects the rights of workers and helps businesses recruit experts, managers, or technical workers in a transparent and safe manner.
If working without a permit (and not being eligible for an exemption), both workers and businesses may face risks: administrative penalties, contract termination, or even deportation of workers; businesses may be fined, suffer reputational damage, or face restrictions on hiring foreign workers as per regulations.
PMH provides a comprehensive service including consultation, document preparation, submission, and follow-up : from eligibility checks and guidance on document preparation to translation and legalization (if needed), to representing clients in submitting applications to the relevant authorities and providing progress updates. Contact us for a free document check and initial consultation within 24 hours.

2. Individuals who need to apply for a work permit.

Foreigners working in Vietnam are typically required to obtain a work permit when taking on the following positions (according to current regulations):
Managers and executives (e.g., CEO, Chief Executive Officer) are responsible for coordinating company operations.
Experts (such as IT specialists, financial experts, or technical consultants with relevant qualifications/experience).
Technical workers (engineers, skilled professionals needed for the project or production).
Some cases are exempt from licensing requirements (for example, board members not holding management positions, owners of limited liability companies under certain conditions, and internal transfers of experts under international agreements). These exemptions have strict criteria regarding roles, working hours, and types of activities — businesses need to check the details before applying for an exemption.

3. Conditions for granting work permits to foreigners in Tuyen Quang province.

Age and legal capacity: Workers must meet the age requirements as stipulated and not be deprived of their legal capacity — a basic administrative condition for being able to sign contracts and assume legal responsibility.
Relevant qualifications and experience: Managers and specialists typically require relevant degrees and practical experience. Specialists or engineers usually need a university degree in their field and experience (typically 3-5 years depending on the position). If a candidate lacks a degree, the company may submit documents confirming experience, employment contracts, letters of recommendation, or other supporting documents to support the application.
Good health and a valid medical certificate: Foreign nationals must have a medical certificate issued by an approved medical facility (according to the prescribed form and validity period). Please check the validity period of the certificate before submitting it to avoid having to undergo another examination.
Not subject to entry or work bans: Individuals with criminal records or on the list of those banned from entering the country under the law will not be eligible for a permit. Businesses should check criminal records and related documents before submitting applications.

4. Application dossier for work permits for foreigners in Tuyen Quang province.

Application for a work permit (using the prescribed form):

Businesses should prepare the application according to the form prescribed by the competent authority; pay attention to the accuracy of the signature, seal, and date. PMH assists in preparing the form according to local requirements to avoid formal errors when submitting the application.

Criminal record certificate:

A copy of the criminal record certificate from the country of origin and/or in Vietnam, depending on requirements. Documents issued from abroad usually require notarized translation and consular legalization as required by the receiving agency — PMH will check each case for you.

Medical certificate:

Examination must be conducted at an approved medical facility; the certificate must be valid when submitting the application. PMH will provide a list of qualified medical facilities and instructions on how to fill out the required conclusion form to avoid the need for a re-examination.

Qualifications, Certificates, and Experience Verification:

Copies of diplomas, professional certificates, and documents proving experience (work confirmation letters, previous employment contracts). Foreign language documents must be notarized; in some cases, consular legalization is required. If the applicant lacks qualifications, PMH will assist in drafting experience confirmation letters and alternative documents to convince the authorities.

Passport and photo:

A copy of your valid passport (personal information page) and a 4×6 photo with a white background as required. Note: your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from the date of application (check according to your specific nationality).

Foreign Labor Employment Approval Document:

This is a document issued by the Provincial People’s Committee or the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (depending on the region) confirming that the enterprise is permitted to recruit foreign workers. The issuance time usually takes several days to several weeks depending on the complexity; PMH assists in preparing the necessary documents to minimize waiting time.

Important notes (quick checklist):

All foreign language documents must have certified translations; some documents may require consular legalization. PMH will review and provide guidance on each specific document.
Check the expiration dates of your medical certificate, passport, and criminal record certificate before submitting them to avoid being asked for additional documents.
Prepare experience verification letters or supplementary documents if the candidate lacks certain qualification criteria; PMH will assist in drafting and advising on presentation methods to enhance persuasiveness.

5. Work permit issuance process at PMH

Step 1: Initial consultation and assessment

PMH offers free consultations to accurately determine your specific situation: whether you need a work permit or are exempt according to regulations. During the consultation, experts will provide a preliminary overview of the procedures, list the required documents (detailed checklist), and estimate the time and cost for each option. After the consultation, clients receive a clear checklist: who is responsible for submitting documents, and whether originals or certified copies are sufficient.

Step 2: Prepare detailed documents

PMH assists in drafting application documents, checking criminal records, providing certified translations of foreign language documents, and guiding consular legalization if needed. We gather qualifications, medical certificates, passports, photos, and other relevant documents; and prepare explanatory letters or experience confirmation letters when candidates lack certain qualification criteria. All tasks are clearly assigned in a checklist so that both the company and the employee know exactly who provides which document.

Step 3: Submit the application to the competent authority.

PMH represents businesses in submitting applications to the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs (DOLISA) or authorized agencies in the area. We check the procedural requirements of each province/city to ensure that the application is submitted to the correct place and in the correct format — avoiding formal errors that could lead to the application being returned. If there are additional local procedures (e.g., obtaining approval for needs), PMH will handle them on behalf of the business and inform the client of the progress.

Step 4: Monitor and update the file.

During the processing, if the agency requests additional information or corrections, PMH will receive notifications, provide prompt guidance, and make the necessary additions on behalf of the business/applicant when authorized. We monitor the application status daily and update progress via email/zing/WhatsApp to ensure that no requests from the authorities are missed.

Step 5: Receive and hand over the license.

Once the work permit is issued, PMH receives the permit, verifies its validity (name, job title, validity period), and hands it over to the business or employee. Simultaneously, we guide them through the next steps, such as applying for a temporary residence card, registering the employee with the company, or properly archiving the records.

Notes regarding time and responsibilities:

Estimated lead times for each step (depending on the application): consultation (1–2 days), application preparation (3–7 days), application for approval (10–15 days), and issuance of the permit after approval (5–7 days). Total lead time: approximately 20–25 working days if the application is complete and no additional documents are requested.
PMH handles most of the administrative tasks (document preparation, submission, and tracking); businesses/applicants only need to provide original documents when required and sign the requested documents.
In the event that the agency requests additional information beyond what was anticipated or if local regulations change, processing time may be extended; PMH will immediately notify and propose the quickest solution to minimize disruption.

6. Processing time for work permit services for foreigners in Tuyen Quang province

Please approve the employment request: Estimated processing time: typically 10–15 working days from the date the application is complete and valid. This timeframe depends on the completeness of the application and the requirements of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs where it is submitted.
Work permit issuance: After the request is approved, the permit is usually issued within 5–7 business days. Total processing time: approximately 20–25 business days if the application is complete and no additional documents are required.

Factors affecting processing time:

Incomplete, incorrect, or improperly translated/legalized documents will result in the agency requesting additional information, delaying the licensing process.
Peak hiring seasons or changes in local regulations may also extend processing times compared to normal.
Using professional services like PMH helps shorten preparation time and reduce common errors when applying for work permits, often resulting in a faster process compared to businesses submitting applications themselves.

7. Duration of work permits in Tuyen Quang province

Maximum validity period: Typically, work permits are issued for a maximum of 2 years per issuance, depending on the company’s request and the decision of the competent authority.
Renewal: Licenses can be renewed once or multiple times as per regulations and at the discretion of the authorities; each renewal typically has a similar maximum duration (e.g., 1–2 years depending on circumstances and documentation).

Notes and instructions for renewal:

It is advisable to apply for a renewal at least 15–30 days before your current permit expires to avoid interruption of your right to work.
The renewal application includes: the application form, the current work permit, the employment contract, a report on the employee’s work performance, and documents proving the need to continue employing foreign workers.
If the business wants long-term stability, it is advisable to propose a 2-year license from the outset (if applicable); PMH will advise and prepare the application to increase the chances of obtaining the desired term.
PMH assists in preparing renewal applications, checking license expiration dates, and reminding businesses/applicants of important deadlines to avoid license expiration — you can register for PMH’s automatic reminder service for peace of mind in managing your business.
