Work, business and sponsor issues
What if my employer keeps my passport?
Direct answer
Work authorization is separate from tourist/e-visa stay. Unauthorized work can complicate an overstay or departure case. This page answers: “What if my employer keeps my passport?”
Important qualification
Disclose accurate facts in your Immigration Report. VietExit does not give employment-law rulings. Clearly state VietExit is independent and does not issue visas, fines, exit permissions or government decisions.
What can change this
Sponsor cancellation, retained passports, and residence cards change timelines.
Safe next step
Collect employer correspondence and escalate complex work cases to a coordinator or qualified specialist.
Verify with humans / official channels
Immigration and labor authorities decide status—not employers alone.
