Also at the press conference, Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang continued to give advice to Vietnamese citizens when receiving invitations to go abroad for light work with high salaries. Accordingly, Vietnamese citizens need to research carefully before going to work abroad.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that Vietnamese citizens be vigilant against invitations to go abroad for “easy work, high salary”. Citizens need to carefully research the content, regime, and expected location of the job to avoid falling into fraudulent “traps” and becoming illegal residents and workers abroad.

In case citizens or relatives of citizens in Myanmar need help, please contact the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand and Myanmar for support.
