Work permit for foreign investors?



Vietnam is a country that has been having many policies to attract foreign investors to work in Vietnam. In particular, foreign investors are individuals with foreign nationality, organizations established under foreign laws and carry out business investment activities in Vietnam. When conducting business investment activities in Vietnam, many people wonder if a work permit is required? In this article, we will help you answer the above questions.

Foreign investors carry out business activities in Vietnam in one of the forms such as contributing, purchasing shares or capital contributions of economic organizations. If the investor is a foreign individual who is a capital-contributing member or owner of a limited liability company, he / she will be exempted from work permit under the provisions of Clause 1, Article 7 of Decree 11/2016/ND-CP.

However, this provision does not mean that all of investors are automatically exempted from work permits. Foreign investors who are not required to have a work permit must be certified by the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs before coming to work in Vietnam. Specifically, according to Article 8 of Decree 11/2016 / ND-CP, the employer requests the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs where the foreigner is expected to work to confirm the foreign worker is not required to issue a work permit at least 07 working days in advance from the date the foreign worker starts working.

Dossier of request for certification not subject to issuance of a work permit, including: Written request for certification of foreign workers not subject to work permit and documents proving that the foreign worker is not subject to a work permit. Within 03 working days from the date of receipt of a complete application for certification not subject to a work permit, the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs shall send a written confirmation to the employer. In case of non-certification, there must be a written reply clearly stating the reason.
