The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged Vietnamese citizens to be cautious about job offers abroad that promise “easy work with high pay” but do not require qualifications, contracts, or formal recruitment channels. It advised individuals to thoroughly research job details, locations, the credentials of recruiters, insurance policies, and benefits, and to consult relevant authorities before accepting overseas work to avoid becoming undocumented migrants.
A total of 39 Vietnamese citizens detained in Myanmar for breaching immigration regulations were brought home on April 9, in line with the direction from the Vietnamese Government.
The repatriation was co-organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security, Vietnam’s diplomatic missions in Myanmar and Thailand, and relevant domestic, Myanmar and Thai authorities.
These individuals are the first among a larger group of Vietnamese nationals awaiting repatriation from Myawaddy, Myanmar. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively working with relevant countries to facilitate the return of the remaining citizens as soon as possible.
