VEJ provides information and procedural guidance for foreign teachers regarding document translation and legalization in Vietnam, helping them understand requirements, timelines, and available options.
Translation & Legalization for foreign teachers
- Eligibility – Required for key documents used in visa, work permit, and TRC applications, such as degrees, teaching certificates, criminal records, and marriage/birth certificates for dependents.
- Process – Documents must be translated into Vietnamese and legalized/notarized by the appropriate authorities before submission.
- Validity – Once legalized, documents remain valid for use in immigration and employment procedures within their applicable period (e.g., criminal records usually valid for 6 months).
Key benefits of translation & legalization support
- Ensures documents meet Vietnamese legal and administrative requirements.
- Prevents delays or rejections in visa, work permit, or TRC applications.
- Provides teachers and their families with clarity and confidence throughout compliance procedures.
