Some basic questions.

Had a quick search but can't find clear answers.


How do you start working in Vietnam??

Is at as easy as..

Get a tourist Visa.

Fly to Vietnam.

Find a job.

Change/extend your visa


Carry on ad nauseum?

Or is it somehow more complex? I know you need work permits. Is there a work visa?


What is the basic (legal) procedure.


Or point me to the thread.

Thanks in advance.

We arrived in Vietnam on a tourist visa, eventually (which was a bit of a hassle b/c we had extended our tourist visa) changed that to a business visa through a travel agency. Then we found jobs. Some schools want you to have a proper visa, and some of them are willing to help you get that. There is a bit of a hassle w/the work permit situation, but that's something to be started once in Vietnam (however, before leaving home, read up on it so you can bring all required documents w/you).

The work permit issue is not resolved.

The few people that got it last year, now have to go and renew it all over again!
