Temporary residence card for foreigners in Da Nang: Requirements, documents, fees

Lượt xem: 9

To apply for a temporary residence card for foreigners in Da Nang, you must meet Vietnam’s immigration conditions and submit a complete, purpose-specific dossier to the Immigration Office or via the official online portal. Eligible cases include working with a valid work permit, marriage to a Vietnamese citizen, lawful investment, or family sponsorship. Processing typically takes 5–7 working days once a valid file is accepted, with government fees based on the card’s validity period.

Who can apply for a temporary residence card in Da Nang?

To be issued a TRC in Da Nang, you must comply with Vietnamese immigration rules and submit a complete, accurate dossier. In practice, Da Nang authorities typically look for these baseline conditions:

• Passport validity: your passport should still be valid long enough to match the requested TRC validity (many applicants keep at least 13 months remaining to avoid issues).
• Valid temporary residence declaration: you must have completed temporary residence registration at the local ward/commune police where you live.
• A lawful sponsor (if sponsored by a company/organization): the sponsoring entity must be legally established and eligible to sponsor foreigners.
• Family sponsorship must be lawful: if a Vietnamese relative sponsors you, the relationship must be legally recognized (spouse/parent/child).
• No serious immigration/legal violations: active violations, prior deportation, or unresolved cases can block approval.

Your exact TRC route depends on your purpose of stay (work, marriage, investment, family, etc.) and your current immigration status.
