Who we work with in Thanh Hoa
Thanh Hoa hosts a large FDI base around the Nghi Son economic zone with its refinery, thermal power and cement complex. Most files involve Japanese, Korean and Middle Eastern specialists in refining and energy. 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 Thanh Hoa 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.
