Most of the foreigners are experts or skilled workers who usually hold managing positions in the companies in Vietnam.
In Hanoi, the municipal Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs granted or renewed work permits for over 10,000 foreigners last year, or 11 percent of the country’s total number./.
