Can you work in Vietnam with a tourist visa ?

ANSWER:

Tourist Visa is issued to foreigners for the purpose of tourism in Vietnam. Vietnam tourist visa (DL) is one of the most popular types of Vietnam visa, which is known as an official document or stamp that authorizes an individual to enter Vietnam for the purpose of leisure and tourism. Certain travelers also call it a travel visa, or visitor visa, or holiday visa. Vietnam tourist visa is normally valid for 15-30 days. 
Back to the question, can you work with tourist visa in vietnam?
What a pity to say that according to the immigration law in Vietnam, visas are not allowed to change purposes. So during stay in Vietnam, tourist visa holders are not allowed to either work or do business purposes.
Also according to the law, if foreigners want to come to Vietnam to work, they need one of the following types of visa: business visa (valid for no more than 1 year), work visa (valid for no more than 2 years). This means that, in case a foreigner is holding a tourist visa and wants to convert it into a suitable visa for the purpose of working in Vietnam, the foreigner must exit Vietnam to convert the visa type.
