Vietnam holds a single national social insurance record under your social insurance number, and a departed foreign worker can file from abroad through a consular-legalised proxy. We identify what is in your name and hand you the route in. $99, full refund if we find nothing material.
If you worked in Vietnam and moved on, changed employers, or lost the paperwork years ago, you are in the right place. Pensions are rarely gone. Most of the time the scheme simply lost track of you.
What your Pension Identification Report delivers
Nobody sits between you and your pension. You act the moment the evidence lands.
For Vietnam, the central record is not publicly searchable from your employment history alone. Your Pension Identification Report delivers the honest access-map: what exists, where your record sits, the deadlines and traps that affect your entitlement, the exact route in, and your entitlement position. The Vietnam market is narrow; we tell you plainly where the limits are.
Identification & research only, no financial advice
Vietnam is a narrow market and we say so. Refundable value for foreign workers only began accruing in January 2022, so for most pre-2022 foreign workers there is no meaningful entitlement to find. Whether the national app can be registered for the first time from abroad is not documented, so we assume it cannot.
Identification only. We do not open credential-protected accounts, and we do not transfer, negotiate, or make decisions regarding any pension.

Our published facts for this market are intentionally narrow, launch-honest rather than gap-filled. The items below are the verified facts we will work from.
Your Vietnamese social-insurance money is NOT forfeited at the airport, a departed foreigner can claim the one-time payout from abroad via a consular-legalised proxy, with a 10-day statutory payout once the file is complete, tax-free in Vietnam.
A frozen record sits under the SI number and remains a genuine claim that can still be made; no claim-forfeiture/prescription deadline was found (UNKNOWN). Foreign refundable value only accrues from Jan 2022.
Personal-record access wall: VssID (first-registration from abroad UNKNOWN, assume in-country)
Vietnam Social Insurance (VSS) holds a single national record keyed to the SI number. The narrow point: foreign refundable value only began accruing from January 2022, so for most pre-2022 foreign workers there is no meaningful claim, and the 1 July 2025 split changes the rules by first-joining date in ways most departed foreigners are not tracking.
From abroad: A departed foreigner can file from abroad, but onward international transfer of the payout is not a documented route in Vietnamese guidance, this is a thin market, and we say so.
Korea SSA only (in force 1 Jan 2024); no other in-force agreement found.
