Steps to get Vietnam temporary residence card for foreign maids

In recent years, upper middle income Vietnamese families and expats keen to hire foreign maids to help them run the day-to-day house chores. The maids from Philippines are the most favorite because they are fluent in English, smart, adaptable, friendly, obedient…Finding a qualified maid is a matter, getting Vietnam temporary residence card (TRC) for foreign maids is another challenge. If you need someone to sort out this issue, let us take that honor.

We are able to arrange the TRC with and without sponsor of employer. Read on for further information about process.

The very first step of process is getting business visa (DN visa type). Once the maid arrives in Vietnam, we will continue to convert the visa to TRC. The maximum validity of TRC is 2 year. After 2 years, you can apply for extension of the card.

Period 1. Apply for DN visa

Send the requirements to our email at support@vietnamvisa-easy.com as application for business visa. We will shortly reply to your application with a payment link or bank account to transfer $85 visa fee.
