Visa, Residence Card and Work Permit Services in Hanoi
Info Travel handles visa approval letters, visa extensions, temporary residence cards and work permits for foreigners in Hanoi. Companies do not need to send staff to the immigration office: documents are couriered for signature, we file and follow up.
Where files are submitted in Hanoi
Hanoi is one of the 11 localities left unchanged by the 2025 provincial reorganisation, so the receiving authority has not changed. The head office of the Immigration Department is also here.
A sponsoring company can file either with the Immigration Office of Hanoi Police where it is registered, or centrally with the Immigration Department under the Ministry of Public Security. See how authority changed after the merger in this guide.

Who we work with in Hanoi
Hanoi hosts a large FDI base around Thang Long, Bac Thang Long, Noi Bai and Quang Minh industrial parks. Most files involve Japanese and Korean experts and staff of foreign representative offices. For this group the standard route is work permit first, then an LD visa, then a two-year residence card — cheaper and steadier than repeated visa extensions.

Frequently asked
Must a company in Hanoi file locally?
No. Filing centrally with the Immigration Department is also possible, and is sometimes faster. We advise which route suits your file.
Are documents showing the former province name still valid?
This locality was unchanged, so documents are unaffected. Use the latest corporate documents anyway.
Does the employee have to attend in person?
Usually not — the original passport and the sponsor documents are enough. Some residence card files require the applicant to attend for fingerprints.
