In addition to foreigners who come to Vietnam to work and have a work permit or residence card in Vietnam, the law stipulates several cases in which foreigners are exempt from work permits. However, to legally reside in the territory of Vietnam, these foreigners still need to have a temporary residence card issued by the Immigration Department of the province or a centrally run city. The period for a temporary residence card for a foreigner who is exempt from a work permit is no more than 2 years. Upon the expiration of this time limit, a foreigner wishing to continue residing in Vietnam must apply for the extension of the temporary residence card.
