There is no national work-permit price on this site

In plain termsA work permit (WP) is a labour card. DOLISA is the provincial labour department that issues it. HĐND is the provincial people’s council that sets many administrative fees. A VND figure from a Facebook quote is not a statute cell.

Quote you heardWhat it actually isIf you mix them
“The work permit is 1–4 million”An agent or blog number. Not a national schedule on file here.You budget a Hanoi rumour for a Bình Dương file.
Visa / TRC state feesImmigration cashier. Filed on the agent page, not this labour fee.You treat Thông tư 28 as the DOLISA receipt.
Provincial council resolutionThe lawful source for this labour fee in that province.You skip asking DOLISA and pay whoever invoices first.
Service / agency add-onA private invoice. Not the council fee.You call the add-on “the official fee.”
Common wrong movesA missing VND line is a published gap, not a prompt to invent one.
  • Pasting a 2022 blog table into an offer letter as “government cost.”
  • Using Immigration Law visa fees as a proxy for the labour card.
  • Asking this page for a single nationwide đồng figure we refuse to invent.
If you need a number for a budgetAsk the issuing DOLISA. Then file the permit.
  • Confirm the provincial resolution that covers your filing office.
  • Keep agency service fees on a separate line from the council fee.

Common questions

How many đồng is a Vietnam work permit?

This site does not file a national VND price. Decree 219 has no fee amounts. Provincial councils set the labour fee under the finance circulars on file.

Is the number on a visa-agent quote the work-permit fee?

Usually not. The visa-agent page files Immigration Law state fees. A work permit is a labour file filed with DOLISA. Those are different cashiers.

Can I pay a Hanoi rate in another province?

No. The fee follows the provincial council that covers the filing office. Do not copy a blog table from one city onto another.
