CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH

Working in Vietnam without a work permit is still an administrative violation. Such violation is subject to administrative sanctions, but not criminal liability. Correspondingly, a foreigner may not be imprisoned but deported. An employer whose foreign employees do not have a work permit may be fined. Working in Vietnam without a work permit becomes more complicated in solving disputes (if any) in front of the Vietnamese Courts. Vietnamese legislation lacks regulations on this matter. Labour Law is one-sided to protect workers and it is a duty of employer to apply for a work permit for the employee. As a result, the employer must bear burden of proofs and discharges obligations and compensation to his employee. It is particularly recommended that foreign employee working in Vietnam must obtain a work permit.
