One-time social insurance service for foreigners

One-time social insurance for foreigners is an important policy applicable to foreign workers working in Vietnam. This regime allows foreign workers to receive social insurance payments at the end of their working period in Vietnam. Using one-time social insurance consulting and support services will help customers prepare documents according to regulations and achieve the desired results.

Can foreigners participate in social insurance in Vietnam?

Foreigners working in Vietnam are eligible to participate in mandatory social insurance. This applies where they meet the prescribed conditions. Clause 1, Article 2, Decree 143/2018/ND-CP provides detailed regulations on this issue.

Specifically, foreigners must have a work permit or practice certificate issued by a competent Vietnamese agency. They also need to have an indefinite-term labor contract or a fixed-term labor contract of 1 year or more with an employer in Vietnam.

Compulsory social insurance participation applies to both foreign workers working at domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises. This regime ensures the rights of foreign workers when working in Vietnam.

Cases where foreign workers can withdraw social insurance one-time

According to Clause 6, Article 9 of Decree 143/2018/ND-CP, foreign workers working in Vietnam are entitled to one-time social insurance in the following cases:

• Full pension age as prescribed in Clause 1, Article 9 of Decree No. 143/2018/ND-CP but less than 20 years of social insurance payment;
• People who are suffering from one of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, polio, cirrhosis, ascites, leprosy, severe tuberculosis, HIV infection that has progressed to AIDS, and other diseases according to regulations of the Ministry of Health;
• Employees who are eligible to receive pensions according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 9 of Decree 143/2018/ND-CP but do not continue to reside in Vietnam;
• When the employee terminates the labor contract or the work permit, practice certificate, or practice license expires without being renewed.

Allowing one-time withdrawal of social insurance creates favorable conditions for foreign workers when they finish their working time in Vietnam. This policy demonstrates Vietnam’s flexibility in foreign labor management.
