Can I work in Vietnam with a Business visa?

A Vietnam business visa allows you to engage in certain business-related activities, such as attending meetings, negotiating contracts or participating in conferences. However, it does not permit long-term employment with a Vietnamese company or work in a formal role that involves earning a salary in Vietnam. To work for a local employer, you would need a work permit in addition to your business visa. A work permit allows you to engage in full-time employment with a Vietnamese company, where you are likely subject to local employment laws and tax regulations. It’s essential to comply with these visa conditions to avoid any legal issues while in Vietnam. If you intend to work beyond short-term business purposes, securing a work permit will ensure your employment remains legitimate and within the guidelines of Vietnamese law.
