I'm trying to get paperwork set up properly in compliance with Vietnamese labor laws to do work for my wife's company.聽 We are using a paid service to submit the application to the government.
At the bottom of this message I've posted some Vietnamese instructions I have and a translation from Google.聽
There are two steps we need to complete.聽 First, my wife's company needs to get permission to be able to hire foreign employees at all.聽 We finished that step.聽 Second, my wife's company must notify the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs at least 3 days before the work start date with the following information about the employee:"- First and last name;- Years old;- Nationality;- Passport;- Employer's name;- Work start and end date."聽
My understanding is spouses of Vietnamese nationals are not only exempt from the work permit, but they are not required to get the work permit exemption either.聽 The only requirements I can find are what I alluded to already, sending notice to the DoL of xy and z.
We are running into problems with the paid service on the second step.聽 They said the government office now wants health checks.聽 I asked where this requirement is posted, they told me the governemnt office makes this request verbally with them, it's not posted anywhere.
During my previous employment elsewhere I was also required to get a health check.
Has anyone completed this process?聽 Could you please share your own experience?聽
Thank you.
