(VOVworld) - Thailand has decided to loosen work permit regulations for migrant workers, including those from Vietnam under a regulation adopted by the Thai cabinet.

Vietnamese workers who last entered Thailand before August 10, 2015, may be granted one-year temporary work permits if their residence registration expired and they have labor contracts with Thai employers covering four fields: housework, restaurant, construction, and seafood processing. Those involved in the construction and seafood processing industries can apply for work permit extension.
