In a different thread Sunbelt suggested that Hanoi would issue a one year multiple entry non-immigrant B to a work permit holder. Sunbelt, or anyone, could you tell me if it matters when the work permit expires? My yearly non-immigrant B ends soon and I don't qualify for another one in Asia. However, if I ask, I could get a work permit for a short term two month teaching job I'm doing for a Thai government university. Is any documentation other than the work permit needed in Hanoi?

Thanks for your help!
