Japan remains top importer of manpower from Vietnam, recruiting 29,902 workers, followed by Taiwan with 22,132 workers and South Korea with 4,977 workers.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has suggested that vehicles used to transfer passengers to and from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport be considered “green lane” means of transport, which are prioritized to operate in special lanes into Covid-19 prevention and control areas. It has also suggested that there be written instructions for Vietnamese citizens wanting to return to Vietnam as well as guidelines for airlines carrying passengers from Vietnam to international destinations, so they will not be forced to return to the country.
