Hi! Anyone who can help me on how to get a work permit? I am just a part timer and I am not quiet sure how to get these documents. I need this before going home so that our immigration will still allow me to go back here and work. TIA!

As illogical as it might sound, in Vietnam a work permit is something that you apply for only after you have a job and sign a contract, not something that you get to make you eligible to find a job. In fact the work permit is not yours but a permit that your employer holds to make it legal for them to employ you.

Important information which deserves its own sticky thread, IMHO... 😎
