Hi years ago =  I paid 850 USD for 1 year  TRC and after 3 month they called me and said I have to exit immediately the country  via a boat !! from the Mekong Delta. This time I want to go sure that this not happens again. Can you give me the contact address of your agent? Best MIchael xxx

You are not allowed to work legally with a TRC(Temporary Residence Card) which is not related to WP (Work Permit).

You can have 1 year visa with 80$.

Hi Michael, sorry to hear that. But my residence card handled by my husband company. So I'm not sure which agent they used.

Please don't post things that are just not correct, you know very well you can't get a 1 year visa for 80usd.

Legally, no. Get your employer to apply for a work permit.
