Where files are submitted in Cao Bang
Cao Bang is one of the 11 localities left unchanged by the 2025 reorganisation, so the receiving authority is the same as before.
A sponsoring company can file either with the Immigration Office of Cao Bang 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 Cao Bang
Cao Bang hosts a large FDI base around the Tra Linh and Ta Lung international border gates and Chu Trinh industrial park. Most files involve Chinese experts in cross-border trade, mining and hydropower. 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 Cao Bang 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.
