Hi everybody,
i got married with a German. We would like to move to Vietnam n live there maybe for years. I read so much about work permit for foreigner in VN. But Work permit can be issued for foreigners, who has "high degree of specialized knowledge, qualification and technology; experienced in management, business and other professions that the domestic labors cannot currently conduct efficiently." (see https://www.vietnamonline.com/az/work-p … etnam.html). When i read these conditions in Vietnamese, my husband hasnt met this requirement. He got Bachelor Degree. But he must look for a job in VN first wenn we are in Vietnam.
Does he have to get work permit bevor he looks for a job or can he apply for work permit when he goz a job?
Does any one of you have experience in aplying for Work Permit in VN?
And if he would like to teach English there, is es a Must to get a certificate for teaching English for exemple TEFl or TESOL or sth like that?
Thank you a lot and it d be great if sb has the answer for this 😍

Hi and welcome to the forum.

This topic has been covered extensively on other threads.
Please search on VN forum with keywords "work permit" etc.
You'll get plenty of information there.

Please note, in Vietnam, a foreign employee doesn't apply for a WP himself/herself.

It's his/her employer in Vietnam who will arrange the WP for him/her.

Your husband should first find an employer in Vietnam who is willing to hire him with a WP.
That's it.

Cheers!

How about if someone doesn't have University degree? Le's say they have only working experience and willing to hire them in Vietnam, So how she/he apply for a work permit?

You will need some form of proof of work experience, usually notarised in the country where you worked.
