What setup starts after the immigration decision

Four sourced actions from each relocation checklist show the sequence beyond visa approval. The linked country guides contain the complete registration, health, tax, banking, housing and renewal context.

Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal

Only a working visa permits ordinary foreign employment in Nepal. The employer must coordinate the line-ministry recommendation, labour permit and immigration file; applicants should then connect PAN, banking, medical cover, family records and renewals without treating tourist status as work permission.

  1. Before travel

    Match the non-tourist visa to the real employment, business, study, family or residence purpose; do not treat remote work as tourism.

  2. On arrival

    Save the entry stamp, current visa and NepaliPort submission and tracking records.

  3. First month

    Apply for PAN when working, investing, practising or carrying on business.

  4. Later

    Calendar the work permit, ministry recommendation, visa, passport and dependant expiries.

Socialist Republic of Vietnam

Vietnam’s e-visa is an entry route, not a general right to live and work. Long-term movers normally need a sponsor-backed status chain and must coordinate accommodation reporting, work permission, insurance, tax and local documents.

  1. Before travel

    Map the entry visa, work permit or exemption, and residence document separately.

  2. On arrival

    Verify that the hotel or landlord declared temporary residence.

  3. First month

    Confirm social and health insurance separately and keep both contribution records.

  4. Later

    Calendar sponsor, work permit, residence card, passport and address changes.
