The latest regulation comes into force following Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s directive regarding permission for foreign citizens to work in the nation, as reported by VOV.

In line with the move, the Ministry of Health has requested that ministries, ministerial-level agencies, governmental agencies, and both provincial and municipal People's Committees carry out all necessary procedures. This will involve evaluating the implementation of COVID-19 epidemic prevention measures throughout the entrants' stay in the country, in addition to reporting the results to the Ministry of Health.

Guidance regarding the temporary supervision of people entering the nation is applicable to individuals who arrive for the purpose of work for over 14 days. This includes foreigners holding diplomatic and official passports, investors, highly-skilled workers, business managers, international students, and foreign relatives of Vietnamese citizens who originate from countries where the pandemic has been brought under full control.

The regulation also includes medical check-ups before arrivals, with further checks upon entry and relevant quarantine facilities or places of residence.

Those with negative or unclear quick testing results at the airports will undergo another test to detect genetic material from the virus. If the test result comes out negative, the individuals will continue the 2-week-long quarantine. If it’positive, the patient will be immediately isolated at the medical facility and treated and taken care of in accordance with current COVID-19 regualations for COVID-19 cases.
