Vietnam E-visa to Work Visa: Can You Make the Switch? (Complete Guide)

Unfortunately, you cannot directly convert a Vietnamese tourist e-visa to a work visa. They are meant for entirely different purposes. However, there is a process to apply for a work visa after you enter Vietnam on your tourist visa. Here's a general outline:

  • Employer Sponsorship:Ā  You'll need a job offer and sponsorship from a Vietnamese company to initiate the work visa process. They will handle much of the paperwork.
  • Work Permit Application:Ā  The company will apply for a work permit on your behalf with the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA).
  • Visa Conversion Application:Ā  Once you have the work permit, you can apply to convert your visa status from tourist to work visa. This involves submitting various documents like your passport, visa application form, work permit, and proof of residence. The process is usually handled at the Vietnamese Immigration Office.
