Friends,
What I have recently heard from couple of my old colleagues in Ha Noi is that the latest VN WP regulations (April 2014) have made it impossible for companies (local and Foreign) to hire a person on Business Visa and then help him/her apply for a WP internally.
This used to be the case for most foreign hires until 2012-13. I had got my WP after three months of my arrival in VN on a B-visa.
However, from April 2014 this is no longer possible and all new foreign employees (from overseas) must apply for WP in their own countries before they arrive in VN.
Can anyone here please tell me if this piece of information is true or not. Do they strictly follow it these days.... or the old practice is still going on??
If one comes to VN in the coming days to look for genuine jobs (not private tuition etc.), which Visa is best suited for the purpose in the present context??
Is it worth giving a try at all... especially in the IT and Education sector?
Thanks for your suggestions.
