Thus, if foreigners fall into the above cases, they will be granted a temporary residence card.
2. Symbol and validity of temporary residence card for foreigners with work permits
To protect their legitimate and legal rights and interests, foreigners will have to register for a temporary residence card in Vietnam. Accordingly, a temporary residence card is a document issued by the immigration management agency or a competent agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to foreigners who are allowed to reside for a certain period in Vietnam and is valid in place of a visa.
According to the Law on Entry, Exit, Transit, and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam amended in 2019, the symbol and duration of temporary residence cards for foreigners with work permits are prescribed as follows:
(1) LĐ2 – Issued to foreigners working in Vietnam who are required to have a work permit;
(2) The duration of a temporary residence card for foreigners with a work permit in Vietnam is no more than 02 years.
Thus, temporary residence cards for foreigners with work permits in Vietnam are valid for no more than 02 years.
3. Conditions for extending temporary residence cards for foreigners
In fact, according to current law, there is no procedure for extending temporary residence cards. Therefore, in case a foreigner residing in Vietnam has an expired temporary residence card, he or she must carry out procedures to issue a new temporary residence card with the same conditions as the first temporary residence card.
Thus, foreigners who want to continue to reside legally in Vietnam need to carry out procedures to apply for a new temporary residence card before the current temporary residence card expires in the cases specified in Section II.1 above.
