Why Education Institutions in Vietnam Must Prioritize Labor Compliance
Hiring foreign teachers is essential for many schools in Vietnam to deliver high-quality education. However, navigating legal requirements can be complex — and even a small mistake, like allowing a teacher to start work without a valid permit, can lead to serious legal, reputational, and operational consequences.
Metasource works with education providers nationwide to ensure every foreign hire complies with Vietnam’s labor regulations — protecting both institutions and teachers.
