Who we work with in Can Tho
Can Tho hosts a large FDI base around Tra Noc, VSIP Can Tho, An Nghiep and Song Hau industrial parks and coastal wind power projects. Most files involve seafood and energy specialists plus foreign lecturers and doctors at the regional centre. 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 Can Tho 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?
Documents issued lawfully before the reorganisation remain valid. New applications should use the current administrative name and include the latest corporate documents.
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.
