Working Legally in Vietnam
What are the legal requirements to work in Vietnam?
Please take a look at our article, “Working Legally in Vietnam”, for more detailed information from the Department of Education and our tips and advice to avoid schools/centers who are not meeting all the legal requirements.​
Vietnamese law states that any foreigner working for a company will need to have a Work Permit issued by that company. Applying for and obtaining a Work Permit in Vietnam can be a lengthy process, but please don't worry!—We will work through it with you, step-by-step.
​
In order to obtain a Work Permit in Vietnam, you will need:
-
Degree
-
English Teaching Certificate (TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, DELTA or equivalent)
-
Criminal background check
-
Medical exam (to be completed in Da Nang)
-
Housing contract (issued by your landlord in Da Nang)

After obtaining your Work Permit, we will upgrade your business visa (the visa on which you will first enter Vietnam with an Invitation Letter from SuperKids) to a Temporary Residence Card. Your Residence Card will be valid for the entire duration of your employment at SuperKids.
​
Again, not to worry! These steps will all be thoroughly discussed with you during the first interview.

In addition to visa requirements, all other contract-related questions can be discussed in further detail during the first interview.
