Can ĐT4 lead to a temporary residence card?

No. ĐT4 is absent from Luật Nhập cảnh Điều 36 khoản 1 điểm b. Having an investment visa stamp is not the same as TRC eligibility.

Does low capital skip the work permit?

Usually the opposite. Below the 3 billion VND owner/board threshold, capital roles typically still require a permit. ĐT4 and the labour threshold are two machines sharing one number.

ĐT4 — stamp without a TRC

The trap page. Capital under 3,000,000,000 VND still gets an investment symbol — and still fails temporary residence. Generic “investor visa” articles almost never say that out loud.

What ĐT4 is

Investment capital under 3,000,000,000 VND (Luật Nhập cảnh Điều 8 khoản 7d). It is a real Điều 8 symbol. It is not on the TRC-eligible list (no — Luật Nhập cảnh Điều 36 khoản 1 điểm b (ĐT4 absent from TRC list)).

Why this page stands alone

The unique consequence is the absence: visa without TRC. Crossing into ĐT3 is what puts stay cards back on the table. Full capital table: ĐT1–ĐT4.

Labour at the same number

Owner/board exemption threshold: 3,000,000,000 VND. Below it, capital roles typically still need a permit (yes). ĐT4 territory and “still need a permit” often arrive together. Detail: work permit.

What to read instead of hoping

TRC — closed eligible list.
Invest purpose — capital as a stay decision.
Decision tool — gate the 3bn line before you treat a blog tip as law.
