Vietnam Transfers Foreign Worker Management to Ministry of Home Affairs
Vietnam has restructured its government agencies, shifting foreign labor management responsibilities from the Ministry of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA) to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) under Decree No. 25/2025/NĐ-CP.
Key Details:
- MHA now oversees legal regulations on employment and foreign worker management.
- Labor market data and employment service regulations will also fall under MHA.
- Additional transition details at the provincial level are expected in the coming months.
This change is part of Vietnam’s broader administrative reforms to streamline government functions.
