Vietnam to loosen work permit requirements for foreigners

Following the amendment and supplementation, work permit issuance regulations are expected to be loosened with the enhanced decentralization for agencies. Gabor Fluit, chairman of the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (Eurocham Vietnam), earlier proposed Vietnam should simplify work permit issuance procedures to attract and retain talents. It is unreasonable if foreigners who have been living, working, and investing in Vietnam for years and have repeatedly received work permits fail to have their work permits renewed due to minor procedure-related issues, Fluit noted.
