Vietnam to Enforce New Fines for Foreign Worker Reporting Violations from September 2026
Vietnam will enforce new fines starting September 10, 2026, targeting employers who violate foreign worker reporting requirements. Individuals face penalties of 1 to 3 million Dong, while organizations may be fined 2 to 6 million Dong for late or missing mandatory work notifications, including those related to multiple work locations and permit cancellations. The updated rules also introduce penalties for using forged documents to obtain work permits. These measures aim to enhance compliance after work permits are approved, with most other penalties remaining unchanged.
