Check sponsorship, work-permit dependencies and eligibility. The working scope is confirmed only after reviewing the circumstances, available records and current requirements.
What you receive
- 01
Statutory gateway test — Vietnamese law permits an in-country change of visa purpose in a closed list of cases only. If your file falls outside that list, the lawful route is to exit and apply anew — and we tell you that at the assessment stage, before you spend anything, rather than filing a doomed application and billing you for it. For an employment conversion the gateway is a work permit or a confirmed exemption already in hand.
- 02
Two files run as one — The work permit application and the visa conversion are sequenced together, so the permit is issued in time to support the conversion instead of the two racing each other.
- 03
Employer readiness pack — Demand-for-foreign-labour report, sponsor registration, Forms NA2 and NA16, and the labour contract in the form both authorities accept.
- 04
Filing, liaison and contingency under mandate — Filed and tracked with both the Department of Home Affairs and the Immigration Department. If the gateway closes mid-process, we hand you the exit-and-re-enter plan with its real cost, not silence.
- 05
Handover and full alignment — The new LĐ visa, and a single calendar aligning work permit, visa and — where you take it — Temporary Residence Card.
Delivery routes
Choose the level of support that fits your capacity, timing and desired control. Each party's role is confirmed before work begins.
Route A — You act, we guide
You keep control of execution. LotusGuard provides the costed roadmap, working notes and review checkpoints.
Route B — We execute under mandate
LotusGuard coordinates and files the agreed work within the authority and scope set out in writing.
Route C — Independent third-party QC
When a specialist provider is required, LotusGuard vets the provider and supervises delivery for a disclosed management fee.
Timing and quote
Fees are fixed against the scope stated in the quote and applied consistently. The quote identifies included work, exclusions, assumptions and any pass-through costs.
Legal notice
LotusGuard provides procedural advisory and files your dossier under a power of attorney. The decision to grant, refuse or revoke rests solely with the competent Vietnamese authority; we do not sponsor applicants and we do not promise an outcome. Your original passport stays with you — we work from certified copies wherever the law allows. Government fees, official charges, translation and consular legalisation are payable by the client at cost, at the published rate.
