Visa for Family

Hello, check the immigration website of Vietnam if you can bring your family as dependants.

Here's the link for immigration in HCMC:

I'm not sure what the procedure is for family members.  I imagine that you having a work permit is required for anything other than a tourist visa.  The work permnit enables you to get temporary residence.  Maybe your family can get temp. res. as well.

normally, in my company, when an expat come a long with his/her family, the HR department will help him/her settle down with paper job. They will take care for your work permit and visa and resident card. Why don't you ask the support from yor company?

Best regards,

I think you should apply for 3 months visa first and after expire, you can ask for another extension.

You can ask for Permanent Residence Card only after living in Vietnam for at least 1 year.

Hi Coolhillu,

Kim is right.  You should check with your company first.  They or whoever they hire should have much more up-to-date infos; and they are much better connected than most of us.  They will give you much better answers and they will help you get things done a lot faster and cheaper!
