Vietnam Specifies Cases Where Foreign Workers Are Exempt from Work Permits

According to the source, the new decree clarifies categories of foreign workers who do not need to obtain a work permit. For people relocating for employment, this may reduce paperwork and pre-employment procedures if their circumstances fall within one of the exemptions. The change is most relevant to foreign specialists and employers arranging their employment in Vietnam. It is worth checking when planning a work-related move, while matching the individual case against the decree’s specific exemption criteria.
