Vietnam introduces change in processing authority for certain work authorization applications

According to a new decree issued in July 2024, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee will begin processing several types of work authorization applications filed by eligible companies, which were previously being processed by the Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) located in Hanoi City. These applications will be processed by the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee if they are filed by companies that are registered in Ho Chi Minh City and have valid company licenses issued by relevant authorities (e.g., the government, appropriate ministries, government or ministerial-level agencies). Applications approved before 10 July 2024 will not be impacted.
