Foreigners may find it cumbersome when working in VN
By Bach Nhat 21:13, 2014/06/17
Some provisions under the draft law on immigration and residency for foreigners in Vietnam have come under fire due to their obvious lack of practicality.

Article 10 of the draft law, currently under discussion by the National Assembly, stated that in order to be granted a visa to enter Vietnam,“Foreigners coming into Vietnam for investment must show their investment certificates granted by authorised agencies”.

This provision has been criticised as it would actually mean investors are less able to enter the country than a visitor on a tourist visa.

Currently, the existing ordinance on immigration and residence of foreigners in Vietnam issued in 2000 enables foreigners to obtain a visa before they can apply for a work-permit in the country.
