In short, what seems logical to me is, you won't need a Work Permit.
Instead, as an investor in Vietnam, you will most likely get a long term DT visa which will eventually make you eligible for a TRC.
I'd suggest you consult a visa lawyer. They can guide you better as laws in Vietnam keep changing all the time.
