VIETNAM would consider a proposal to create favorable conditions for recruiting of foreign workers with high professional, technical qualifications and experience to positions that local workers are not qualified for.
Under the proposal, the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs or People’s Committees of provinces and cities would manage foreign laborers working in their localities.
These included granting work permits, Ministry of Labor-Invalids and Social Affairs said.
In the first option where the department of labour is authorised to manage foreign workers, employers have only to go to one agency to apply for foreign workers’ work permits.
In the second option, the provincial or municipal People’s Committee would authourise a local agency to manage foreign workers.
Le Thi Hong Minh, a representative of Coway Vina Co. Ltd., said the first option would make it convenient for work permit application, saving both time and costs for foreign workers.
Currently, depending on their jobs, foreign workers who want to apply for work permits in Vietnam have to register with the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.
The ministry also proposes that a foreign expert only needs relevant experience and a university degree to be eligible for a work permit, and the degree is not necessarily related to their work position in Vietnam.
Statistics of the ministry showed that, as of June , there are 121,288 foreign workers working in Vietnam. (Xinhua/NAN)
