According to the regulations in Decree 152/2020, foreign workers who are married to Vietnamese and currently living in Vietnam fall under the case that foreign workers exempt from work permits
For this case, the foreign employer shall determine the demand for foreign workers and only has to carry out procedures for reporting the use of foreign workers to the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs or the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs where the foreign worker is expected to work without having to apply for exempting from work permits
