A NOTE ABOUT WORK PERMITS FOR VIETNAM

Under Vietnamese labor law, a foreigner has to apply for and obtain a work permit in order to legally work in Vietnam and to renew business visas. The application needs to be submitted within a reasonable amount of time or you may be requested to leave Vietnam when your visa expires.

In order to obtain a work permit the school has to submit an application on behalf of the teacher that includes the following original documents:

University degree (BA or higher)
Teaching certification (TEFL, TESOL, CELTA or other)
*Police clearance certificate
(*teachers need to have a police clearance certificate from their home country if they’ve been in Vietnam for 6 months or less; teachers who have been here for 6 months or longer only need a Vietnamese police clearance certificate).

After the school has been issued your work permit, you will be paid a $300 US reimbursement fee to cover the costs associated with getting the work permit.
