Certificate of good standing

Hello,
I am from Cambodia. I worked as a doctor in Vietnam for 5 years. Now i plan to move to Singapore. I want to register there to work as a doctor. One of the paper i need that is certificate of current professional status or certificate of good standing. Did anyone have that problem before? Do you know where i should contact? Which kind of papers do i need to prepare? Thank you so much.

Thank you for your dedication and service, there are a lot of medical staff tired and over worked I can understand your move.

I started to prepare 3 years ago, guy. Do you think anyone who working as doctor right now, they can leave their job? Stop mocking when you don't understand anything

I know 3 medical staff, 2 nurses and 1 Doctor, I understand 100% and was not mocking, all 3 have said they need time off, also there is a news story on vnexpress . Net today about staff wanting time off and loosing their certificates if they do, and so far over 500 comments on they do a great job and need a rest and should not loose their certificates.
I was saying thank you, not mocking.

@srabonahm Hello, I'm a doctor. Have been working in Vietnam. Now I need a good standing certificate too to move other country. Could you please share your experience how you got that? Thanks in advance.

Dear Dr Srabonahm, Thank you for your question. I am looking for the authority agency in vietnam to get certificate of goodstanding too. How is it going by you? Can you please share me some information?
Thank you!

Hi Sodilyok? did you already get the certificate? I'm now looking for some info about the procedure but it seems there is no public info. Can you share your experiment?

I'm guessing it's like a Police Record check in Canada? The police run your ID through their data base to see if you have a criminal record and provide a printout at a nominal fee  or free.

Many employers requie this and will cover the cost if any…

@TaảuusTiger Thank you so much, but I think it is a different one. It should be done by the authority deparment but it seems we don't have any official website in Viet Nam to check the procedure 😬

Hello nguyethahmu, and welcome to expat.com.

    @TaảuusTiger Thank you so much, but I think it is a different one.

Right you are.

It should be done by the authority deparment but it seems we don't have any official website in Viet Nam to check the procedure 😬        -@nguyethahmu

May I ask, are you a medical professional (doctor/nurse/dentist/etc)? Or perhaps the owner of a registered company in VN? A member of a licensed profession (engineer/electrician/welder/etc)?


Are you intending to leave VN, and so need the certificate to continue in your field in a different country?


I'll try to help you with this as best I can, but I have to confess that this is somewhat new territory for me.


Once more, welcome aboard expat.com. Hope to hear more from you soon.

Thank you so much for replying.

I am a nurse and I want to leave VN and continue working as a nurse.

Hello, I'm a dentist working in Vietnam, and I'm now seeking a certificate of good standing to qualify for a clinical training program in foreign country.

May I ask if you completed the procedure to obtain the certificate of good standing (COGS)? I have prepared all the required documents but am stuck on this certificate.

If you have completed the procedures, could you please instruct me how to get it? I appreciate your help a lot. Thank you very much in advance.
