Laos introduces new system to regulate foreign workers

Laos’ Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare will implement a new system for issuing visas for illegal foreign workers and renewing the work permits of legal foreign workers.
According to a report from the ministry on Wednesday, the ministry organised a training course for relevant authorities.
It introduced a new system to accelerate the issuing of registration cards and renewing work permits for foreign workers in Laos.
The training course was held in the Lao capital, Vientiane, from April 22 to 23.
The new system is designed to ensure uniformity and streamline issuing of worker entry permits, registration cards, and renewed work permits for foreign workers.
The report said that the new system will make government services in this area of work more efficient and accurate.
The relevant sectors have been urged to jointly address the problem of undocumented workers and ensure that all foreign workers are registered.
The ministry is urgently seeking to resolve labour-related issues by coordinating with relevant sectors at both central and local levels to ensure they carry out their roles effectively.
