Lost or Damaged TRC? Here's What You Should Do!

1. Understanding the Issue:

Losing or damaging your TRC is not uncommon, but knowing how to handle it can make all the difference. Your TRC serves as a vital document during your stay in Vietnam, and any loss or damage requires immediate attention to avoid complications with your residency status.

2. What to Do If Your TRC Is Lost or Damaged:

In the unfortunate event that your TRC goes missing or gets damaged, here are the steps you should follow:

1. Notify the Local Police Department:

   • The first crucial step is to report the loss or damage of your TRC to the police department in the area where you reside. This official report is essential for initiating the process of obtaining a replacement card.

2. Prepare Essential Documents:

   • Collect all the necessary documents required for TRC reissuance, including a certified letter for the lost property report from the local police office. Ensuring you have all the correct paperwork in order can significantly expedite the reissuance process.

3. Submit Your Dossier to the Provincial Immigration Department:

   • Once you have gathered all the essential documents, submit your complete TRC reissuance dossier to the Immigration Department of the province where you currently reside. The processing time typically ranges from 10 to 14 working days.

3. Key Requirements for TRC Reissuance:

When applying for a new TRC due to loss or damage, it is essential to meet the following requirements:

• The lost TRC must have had a validity of over a year.
• Your passport and current Vietnam work permit should be valid for at least a year.
• The validity period of the new TRC will be at least one month shorter than that of your passport.

4. Conclusion:

Experiencing the loss or damage of your TRC can be a stressful situation, but with the right information and prompt action, you can navigate through the process effectively. Remember to report the incident promptly, gather all required documents, and follow the necessary steps for TRC reissuance to ensure a successful outcome.
