LAW NO. 22/2026/QH16: 10 NEW POINTS ON VIETNAMESE WORKERS WORKING ABROAD, EFFECTIVE FROM 01/3/2027

On the same day as the Law amending the Law on Investment, on August 24, 2026, the 16th National Assembly also passed Law No. 22/2026/QH16 amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Vietnamese Workers Working Abroad under Contracts, officially taking effect from March 1, 2027. The Law brings about 10 groups of notable new points, both removing some administrative procedures for service enterprises in good compliance, and significantly tightening responsibilities and sanctions for violating enterprises. Most notably, service enterprises no longer have to apply for approval before preparing labor resources, but only need to notify the commune-level People's Committee at least 3 days in advance, but in return, they must publicize and update operational information on the national website and database within 5 days from the date of the change. The law also stipulates that training fees can only be collected after employees are selected and contracted, prohibits authorization of selection through intermediaries, expands the scope of prohibition on sending workers to massage and go to areas at risk of conflict or is recommended to be restricted. Enterprises whose licenses are revoked due to serious violations will not be re-licensed for 5 years. The article summarizes the most important changes that service enterprises sending workers to work abroad need to understand.

Labor Law – The Foundation for Effective Human Resource Management

In every organization, people are at the center. However, to manage human resources effectively and sustainably, businesses cannot rely solely on internal processes; they also need a management system that complies with the current labor laws.

From recruitment, signing contracts, job assignments, handling terminations to labor discipline – all must be carried out in accordance with legal provisions. Otherwise, businesses may face disputes, complaints, or administrative penalties, which can impact their reputation and business operations.

  • Guiding the resolution of labor disputes: individual or collective

  • Advising on matters related to insurance, tax obligations, and employee benefits
