Get your people
into Vietnam legally and fast.
Work permits, visas, temporary residence cards, and post-arrival settlement support — Forra manages every step of bringing foreign employees to Vietnam and keeping them compliant throughout their posting.
Four services covering the full foreign employee lifecycle.
From the work permit that authorises employment through to the practical tasks every newly arrived expat needs to complete — Forra manages all of it in Vietnamese on your behalf.
A valid work permit is required before any foreign national can commence employment in Vietnam. Forra manages the full application — eligibility assessment, criminal record legalisation, document preparation, the Labour Authority submission, and collection — on behalf of the employer.
From e-visas and approval letters through to business visas and visa-on-arrival arrangements, Forra manages Vietnam entry documentation for foreign nationals across all common visa categories — including the LD (work), DT (investor), and DN (business) visa types.
A TRC replaces visa stamps and provides multi-year residence status for work permit holders. Forra submits the TRC application to the Immigration Department, manages all document requirements, and tracks expiry for timely renewal.
The practical tasks every newly arrived foreign national needs to complete: police registration (CT01), personal bank account opening, driver's licence conversion, and consular legalisation of overseas documents. Forra handles all of them in Vietnamese.
One process, every stage — from eligibility to renewal.
The same case officer handles your applicant from the first eligibility review through to the renewal cycle — managed in Vietnamese with the Labour Authority, the Immigration Department, and local police.
Position, qualifications, and applicant nationality reviewed against the Labour Authority criteria before any document is collected.

Always-onImmigration handled without the delays.
The most common causes of work permit and TRC delays are incomplete document sets and missed deadlines. Forra eliminates both by preparing everything in full before submission and tracking every expiry proactively.
Forra provides a personalised document checklist for each applicant, confirms legalisation requirements by country of origin, and reviews every document before submission — so applications are complete at first lodgement.
Work permit, TRC, and visa expiry dates are tracked from the point of issue. Forra alerts HR and initiates renewals 60 days before any document expires — so no employee is ever working on an expired permit.
All interactions with the Labour Authority, the Immigration Department, and local police are handled in Vietnamese by Forra. Employers and employees never need to navigate Vietnamese-language authority processes directly.
