Vietnam resumes processing of work permit applications in Ho Chi Minh City

On 26 August 2025, Vietnam lifted its temporary suspension on work permit processing and resumed processing work permit applications filed in Ho Chi Minh City. Work permit applications filed in Ho Chi Minh City are now being processed by the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. The People's Committee may delegate work permit processing authority for issuing, renewing and revoking work permits and exemption certificates to three local agencies: the Department of Home Affairs, the Management Boards of Export Processing Zones and Industrial Zones, and the High-Tech Park. These agencies, which operate under the city's jurisdiction, have resumed processing applications. Previously, these applications were processed exclusively by the Department of Home Affairs.
