Work Permit advice wanted

Adam2005

I'm ESL teacher working in hcmc. My work permit expired last month. I'm now working for a new employer on part-time basis, but they won't sponsor work permit for part timers (but I have the necessary documents ready). Any advice from anyone: how I can do work permit as a part-time and or freelance teacher

I thought they had to sponsor you if they employ you? If they refuse i would be suspicious if they are genuine and pay taxes..

Without employers sponsor, you won't get any work permit even if you have all the necessary documents. As Ocenbeach mentioned contact some Visa agent maybe they will have some optional service for you.

If we working in Vietnam we have to adapt to local business.  if you have a chance to avoid tax in the UK I am sure you will do it.

Think yoh missed the point of my answer. If the employer here refuses to sponskr the employee for the work permit then theg are most likely operating illegaly and dont register the employee so theg can avoid any taxes in his behalf.

In the UK tax avoidance is punishable with a prison sentence, here money talks and corruption is rife.

You can be employed 90 days or less without a work permit.

I got your point and understood what you have mentioned, What I said the difference between the UK and Vietnam.

Yes 90 days are allowed, that helps good actors. Some ESL centers save by hiring teachers part time and paying cash and not sponsoring. Full time employers are ok. I'm looking for an English center who would sponsor my work permit and also allow me to work part time elsewhere, is that unlawful if same industry?

I feel it's more of jealousy than legality, my last employer with work permit didn't allow me to even see it, gave me scan b&w copy only for bank, weekly 5.5 days work, visa expiring 3 days after job contract ends, it's like I sponsor you so you are full time my worker or leave this country
