Decree No. 70/2023/ND-CP, issued on September 18, 2023, amends and supplements several provisions of Decree No. 152/2020/ND-CP on the management of foreign workers in Vietnam. This Decree aims to address practical challenges and enhance the efficiency of managing foreign labor in the context of rising demand for experts and skilled workers.
Key updates under Decree 70/2023 include: relaxed conditions regarding professional qualifications and work experience for foreign experts and technical workers; allowing enterprises to resubmit their explanation dossiers for employing foreign workers if the initial submission is rejected; and clarifying the responsibilities of employers in reporting labor usage and changes in employment status. Additionally, the Decree revises the procedures for issuance, re-issuance, and revocation of work permits, streamlining timelines and increasing transparency, while also strengthening post-inspection mechanisms rather than pre-approval processes.
