Documents proving the work experience of foreigners

Documents proving the work experience of foreigners are an important document for foreign workers when applying for a work permit in Vietnam. This document provides information about the qualifications, expertise, and working hours of workers, especially positions such as managers, experts and technical workers. In the following article, Long Phan will clarify the necessary documents and related regulations.

What are documents proving work experience of foreigners?

Documents proving the work experience of foreigners are a type of document issued by foreign agencies or businesses to workers to confirm the time and work they have done at the previous company. For foreign workers who want to work in Vietnam, this document not only proves their professional qualifications but is also a mandatory requirement in their work permit application. This certificate needs to be consular legalized and notarized before submitting to Vietnamese authorities.

Documents proving the work experience of foreigners

To prove work experience, foreign workers can provide the following documents:

• Certificate of work experience from previous company: This is the main document, issued by the company where the employee previously worked. This paper needs to clearly indicate information about the position, work performed, working time and skills gained during the work process.
• Labor contracts and payroll: These documents can also be used to demonstrate the employee’s working hours and level of expertise.
• Professional certificates and degrees: In addition to work experience confirmation, professional certificates or degrees related to the work the employee has performed will also be considered.
• Certification of position and job title: For special cases such as managers and executives, there must be appointment decisions or labor contracts with companies confirming the employee’s role and title.

Subjects need to provide work experience confirmation

Providing a work experience confirmation is necessary for all foreign workers when applying for a work permit in Vietnam. However, some special subjects need to provide work experience confirmation when applying for a work permit including:

• Experts: Foreign workers are recruited with the requirement to have at least 3 years of experience in a related professional field. A certificate of work experience will demonstrate their abilities and qualifications.
• Technical workers: Workers with at least 3-5 years of experience in technical fields will have to demonstrate this certification.
• Managers, CEOs: For these positions, a work experience certificate helps verify that the employee is professionally and managerially qualified to take on this role at a business in Vietnam.

These subjects need to prove their work experience through legal documents, stamped by the company or organization where they previously worked, and these documents must be consular legalized and notarized to be valid in Vietnam.

The role of work experience proof

Proof of work experience plays an important role in:

• Confirmation of professional qualifications and experience: This is the basis for the authorities to evaluate whether the foreign worker’s abilities are suitable for the job in Vietnam or not.
• Ensure compliance with labor laws: This document helps employers and state agencies verify that foreign workers are qualified and do not affect the Vietnamese labor market.
• Helps with faster work permit procedures: When documents are complete to prove work experience, work permit procedures will be more convenient, minimizing the possibility of rejection or additional requests.
