When a foreign employee lands in Vietnam, a handful of practical jobs stand between them and a normal daily life — registering with the police, opening a bank account, swapping a driving licence, getting documents recognised. Forra handles every one of them in Vietnamese, on your behalf.
Take any one on its own, or combine them. Forra prepares the documents, deals with the authority, and follows up to the finish — you just turn up where you are actually needed.
Every foreign national has to register their home address with the local police within 24–48 hours of moving in. The stamped confirmation is also needed for the TRC application later — so it is the very first thing Forra takes care of on arrival day.
Opening a Vietnamese bank account in person can mean a wasted trip if one document is missing. Forra picks the right bank, checks the paperwork in advance, and comes to the branch to handle the Vietnamese-language part — so the account opens in a single visit.
If your employee already holds a valid licence from an eligible country, they can swap it for a Vietnamese one without sitting a driving test. Forra runs the whole conversion, from the certified translation through to handing over the new licence.
Vietnamese authorities will not accept a foreign degree, marriage certificate, or police record until it has been legalised. Forra runs the full chain — from authentication in the document’s home country through to a certified Vietnamese translation.
Every task in each service is prepared, submitted, and followed up by Forra — so your employee just shows up where they are needed.
A simple, sequenced process — you tell us the date, Forra handles the rest in Vietnamese. Everything runs from our side, in the order it needs to happen.
Tell us which services your employee needs and the date they land in Vietnam. Nothing else is needed to get started.
Before arrivalWe confirm the scope and send a flat-fee quote for each service you need — no hourly billing, no surprises.
Within 1 business dayForra prepares every document and deals with each authority directly, so neither you nor your employee has to navigate the paperwork.
On your behalfPolice registration is ready on arrival day; the bank visit, licence conversion, and legalisation follow in the right order.
From day oneThe practical side of moving to Vietnam is where new arrivals lose the most time — the wrong bank, a missed registration window, a document an authority won't accept. Forra removes that friction by dealing with each office directly, in Vietnamese, on your behalf.
You give us the arrival date and the services you need; we prepare the documents, handle every authority, and follow up to the finish — so your employee can focus on the job they came here to do.
The local police, the banks, the Transport Authority, the legalisation chain — Forra handles each conversation in Vietnamese, so nothing stalls over language or an unfamiliar process.
Registration, banking, licence conversion, and legalisation are managed by a single team that runs them in the right order — not four separate providers who never talk to each other.
Each service is priced as a flat fee before we begin. Take one on its own or bundle them together — no hourly billing, and no surprises at the end.
Each one stands alone. Most employers set up the police registration as standard for every new foreign hire, then add the others as the need comes up. Forra quotes each service separately.
Yes — a foreign degree submitted with a work permit application has to be legalised first. For countries in the Hague Apostille Convention (the US, UK, Australia, and most of Europe) a single Apostille stamp is enough, which is simpler than full consular legalisation. Forra advises on the right route for each country.
Licences from countries in the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, or from countries with a bilateral agreement with Vietnam, can be converted directly — no driving test. That covers most of Europe, the US, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and others. Forra confirms eligibility before the application begins.
No. Most banks will open an account for a foreign national with a valid passport and a work permit or visa. A TRC is not required, though it can speed things up. Forra confirms the exact requirements for your chosen bank before the visit, so everything is in order on the day.
Missing the 24–48 hour window can mean an administrative fine, and it holds up the TRC application, which needs the registration confirmation. Forra starts the registration on the day arrival is confirmed, so the window is always met.
Tell us which services your employee needs and their arrival date. Forra will have the registration ready to go on arrival day, and everything else sequenced from there.
