Print articleCambodia: Foreign Employee Work Permit Application Deadline is Approaching
February, 2021 - Segolene Leffy
We wish to bring to your attention that the deadline for applying for foreign employee work permits for 2021 with the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (“MLVT”) is 31 March 2021. This obligation applies to every employer in Cambodia employing foreign employees, including representative offices, branches, private or public limited companies, non-governmental organizations and associations.
Failure to comply with the foreign employee work permit requirements could result in fines for each offense of up to USD 630 by the MLVT and/or up to USD 900 by a court. Furthermore, Chapters 5 and 6 of the Law on Immigration provide for a term of imprisonment of up to three months and deportation orders may also be issued to the foreign employees concerned.
Cambodian authorities are strictly enforcing the laws concerning employment of foreign nationals in Cambodia. Unless you have done so already, we strongly recommend that employers with foreign employees submit foreign employee work permit applications by the above deadline.
If you would like our assistance with the work permit application or if you have any questions or concerns regarding this reminder, please contact us at [email protected].
