Why Apply for a TRC with Cekindo?
The Perks of Having a Temporary Residence Card in Vietnam
Easy travel and cost-saving
A TRC typically has a validity period of two to five years and can meet the need to save time, money, and other resources. In addition, stays in Vietnam are lengthened, eliminating the need to leave and return for “visa runs.” Additionally, entry and re-entry processes into Vietnam are made simpler.
Apartment purchase
Foreigners typically find buying real estate in Vietnam challenging before having the TRC. But when they got it, it was simple for them to have their apartment in Vietnam.
Getting a driving license
Foreigners may take the test for a Vietnamese driving license if they are at least 18 years old, have a valid TRC of Vietnam, and have been in Vietnam for more than three months.
