HANOI: Vietnam repatriated 39 of its nationals from Myanmar on Wednesday (April 9) morning, following their detention for immigration violations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
These individuals are the first group of Vietnamese citizens to be brought back from Myawaddy, Myanmar, where more nationals are awaiting repatriation.
The Ministry said it is working to bring home the remaining citizens as soon as possible.
The Ministry urged Vietnamese nationals to remain cautious about overseas job offers promising 'easy work with high pay' that do not require qualifications or contracts, and which bypass official labour dispatch procedures.
Individuals are advised to carefully verify job details, workplace locations, recruiters, insurance coverage, and benefits, and to consult with authorities before accepting overseas employment to avoid becoming undocumented workers.
