39 Vietnamese brought home from Myanmar over immigration violations

The repatriation was co-organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security, Vietnam's diplomatic missions in Myanmar and Thailand, and relevant domestic, Myanmar and Thai authorities.

These individuals are the first among a larger group of Vietnamese nationals awaiting repatriation from Myawaddy, Myanmar. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively working with relevant countries to facilitate the return of the remaining citizens as soon as possible.

The ministry has urged Vietnamese citizens to be cautious about job offers abroad that promise "easy work with high pay" but do not require qualifications, contracts, or formal recruitment channels. It advised individuals to thoroughly research job details, locations, the credentials of recruiters, insurance policies, and benefits, and to consult relevant authorities before accepting overseas work to avoid becoming undocumented migrants.
