Hello everyone. My family and I will be relocating to Vietnam HCMC next year January and we are planning to bring our helper along. My kids and I are Singaporeans and my husband is a Vietnamese. My helper is an Indonesian.

Would like to check if anyone knows which type of pass/ visa we can apply for our helper to live with us in HCMC? Thank you

Hi again.

Congratulations on your upcoming move to Vietnam.

When you say "helper", may I assume you mean an employee serving in the capacity of a domestic servant/housekeeper/maid? If so, it may be difficult to secure the necessary permit and visa.

Take a look at a very recent thread which might be useful to you. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have which are not covered in that thread.

Also, feel free to jump in and contribute to any of our ongoing threads, or open another new topic of your own for discussion, here.

As mentioned earlier, it's very nice to have you with us. Welcome.
