Before discussing visas, ask yourself three questions.
Why am I going to Vietnam?
To:
- travel;
- test a setup;
- study;
- work;
- join my spouse;
- start a business;
- invest;
- retire;
- return to live in my home country or that of my family.
How long?
- One month?
- Three months?
- One year?
- Five years?
Will I work in Vietnam?
This is essential.
Having the right to stay in Vietnam and having the right to work there are two different things.
A status allowing entry or residence in the country does not automatically constitute a work permit.
