Expert certificate

10 years ago
Hi

I've pretty much chosen the worst time to decide to move to Vietnam, as there are recent laws that have come in meaning it is very difficult to get a work permit if you don't have a degree.

However, I am not put off by this. I have done a lot of reading up and the general gist is thus:

3.4.2 For foreigners who are experts must have one of the following documents:

- Document certifying foreigner has the qualifications at the level of engineer, bachelor”s degree or higher or similar level, and who has at least five (5) years” experience working in the speciality in which he (she) was trained and be consistent with the job position which he (she) will be expected to work in Vietnam.

- Document certifying the foreigner recognized by competent agency, organization or enterprise in foreign country as an expert;

So, as I am an expert in my field of web development, I should have no problem getting a work permit based on a document that says so.

The only problem is, where do I get this document from? The text above (kind of) implies that it could be just the company that I work for now, who would confirm that yes I am an expert. Logic tells me that there must be a governing body who issues these documents, but I can't find anything on the web at all about this.

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks in advance

Ben
