How to apply for a work permit in Dong Nai (including former Binh Phuoc province)

The process has 3 steps:

Step 1. Post job announcement for Vietnamese workers

This step shows you tried to hire Vietnamese workers first.

• When: Post at least 05 working days before you apply for work permit
• Where to post:
  • Department of Employment (moha.gov.vn)
  • Dong Nai Employment Service Center (vieclamdongnai)
• What to include:
  • Job title
  • Job description
  • Number of workers needed
  • Education and experience required
  • Salary
  • Work schedule and location
• How to post: Post online on these websites (it is free). Save the confirmation. You need it for Form No. 3.
• Who can skip this step: Foreign contractors, short-term experts (under 90 days/year), or internal company transfers.

Step 2. Submit your application

Now you can combine two things into one application. This saves time.

• When to submit: Between 60 days and 10 days before your worker starts
• Documents you need:
  • Form No. 03 (explains why you need foreign worker). To properly complete your application, you’ll need to fill out the foreign worker demand and work permit application form which details your labor needs and the foreign worker’s qualifications. The medical examination is a crucial part of the application process. Learn more about the health check for work permit in Vietnam to understand what examinations are required and where to get them done.
  • Health certificate (valid for 12 months from approved medical center)
