The documents required for the replacement of a lost temporary residence card
– Your foreign passport and 3×4 photo

– The written evidence of your legal business or job in Vietnam, including: work permit, labor contract, letter of appointment, investment certificate, business registration certificate
– The application for temporary residence card (Forms NA7 used for company sponsorship / NA6 for individual sponsorship and NA8) from the Immigration Offices.
