Info Travel handles visa approval letters, visa extensions, temporary residence cards and work permits for foreigners in Quang Ninh. 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 Quang Ninh
Quang Ninh was left unchanged by the reorganisation. The province hosts the Mong Cai international border gate, so many files relate to cross-border trade.
A sponsoring company can file either with the Immigration Office of Quang Ninh 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 Quang Ninh
Quang Ninh hosts a large FDI base around Dong Mai, Song Khoai, Texhong Hai Ha industrial parks and the Mong Cai border economic zone. Most files involve Chinese and Hong Kong experts in textiles, mechanics and cross-border trade. 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 Quang Ninh 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.
