1. Conceptual distinction
A visa (also known as a visa) includes an exit visa to bring Vietnamese to foreign countries and an entry visa for foreigners to enter Vietnam. A visa is a document issued by a competent authority in Vietnam and allows foreigners to enter Vietnam.
A temporary residence card is a type of card that is considered a long-term visa and has a replacement value for a visa card. This is a type of document issued by an immigration management agency or a competent agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to a qualified foreigner who is allowed to reside in Vietnam for a definite time.
2. Similarities between a visa and a temporary residence card
Because of these similarities, many people confuse these two types of documents. In general, visa and temporary residence cards have similar points that can be shown as follows:

issued to foreigners who wish to enter Vietnam must prepare full documents such as a passport, other international travel documents to be granted a visa and a temporary residence card.
