Webinar Invitation: Briefing on the new Decree amending Decree No. 152/2020 on the management of foreign employees working in Vietnam

Briefing on the new Decree amending Decree No. 152/2020 on the management of foreign employees working in Vietnam

On 18 September 2023, the Government issued Decree No. 70/2023/ND-CP ("Decree 70") amending and supplementing certain provisions of Decree No. 152 on foreign employees working in Vietnam and the recruitment and management of Vietnamese employees working for foreign individuals and organizations in Vietnam ("Decree 152"). Decree 70 took immediate effect as of its issuance date.
 
While some regulations and conditions for work permit eligibility and application procedures have been loosened, Decree 70 continues to prioritize the protection of job opportunities for the Vietnamese workforce over foreign nationals, which is in line with the spirit of Decree 152 and recent enforcement trends of the Vietnamese labor authorities. It is expected that there may be potential challenges for employers in respect to justifying the need to engage foreign nationals instead of Vietnamese employees.
