The Vietnamese government has announced its mandatory semiannual reporting deadline for foreign nationals will be Jan. 5, 2025.

Key Points:

  • Employers must report their use of foreign workers to Vietnamese authorities by Jan. 5, 2025.
  • The report must include the use of foreign workers from Dec. 15, 2023, to Dec. 14, 2024.

BAL Analysis: Violations of the established reporting requirement can result in administrative fines for the employer and could potentially lead to delays in obtaining approvals for future foreign labor demands and work permit applications. Companies should ensure that they submit their semiannual report before the deadline to avoid complications or government fines.
