For Individuals
Living & Working in Vietnam
From residence cards and work permits to marriage registration, birth registration, and personal property matters, Chilli helps you navigate the legal procedures that come with building your life in Vietnam.
Why this matters
Every Situation Has Its Own Requirements.
Whether you're settling into Vietnam, starting a job, registering a marriage, or preparing documents for your child, the requirements depend on your circumstances. Knowing which procedure applies — and what to prepare — can help you avoid unnecessary confusion and delays.
They’re separate, not one process
A Temporary Residence Card (TRC), a Work Permit, and civil registrations such as marriage or birth are separate procedures, each with its own requirements.
The right preparation
Missing information or unclear requirements can create extra work and delays.
Non-compliance has real consequences
Gaps in documentation or missing deadlines can create complications. Reviewing your situation early helps identify issues that may need attention.
