Does LĐ1 mean I skip the work permit forever?

LĐ1 is confirmation that you are outside the permit-required set for that filing. It is not a blank “work anywhere” stamp. If the role changes into a permit-required limb, you are on the LĐ2 / permit path instead.

Same TRC band as LĐ2?

Yes. LĐ1, LĐ2, and PV1 share the 2-year TRC term band. The labour paper underneath is what differs.

LĐ1 — outside the permit-required set

The quieter labour symbol. Blogs collapse LĐ1 and LĐ2 into “work visa.” The statute keeps them apart: confirmation vs permit — same TRC band, different labour machine.

What LĐ1 is

Work with confirmation that you sit outside the permit-required set (Luật Nhập cảnh Điều 8 — LĐ1 limb). Still TRC-eligible (LV1, LV2, LS, ĐT1, ĐT2, ĐT3, NN1, NN2, DH, PV1, LĐ1, LĐ2, TT, UĐ1, UĐ2). Sibling path when a permit is required: LĐ2. Band overview: LĐ1 / LĐ2.

TRC ≤ 2 years

Same band as LĐ2 / PV1: 2 years (Luật Nhập cảnh Điều 38 khoản 5). Sponsor files (yes). The card does not invent a work right the labour confirmation did not cover.

Why this page is not a tip list

Exemption limbs live on work permit (marriage, capital, short-stay, NĐ 219 Điều 7 set). LĐ1 is the immigration symbol that pairs with “outside permit-required” confirmation — not a shortcut around those statutes. Days still feed tax residency.

Working without a lawful labour basis risks forced exit (forced exit or deportation) — tax position does not cure that.
