Cambodia Legal Update – Labor Law – Extension of Time to Apply for Renewal of Foreign Employees’ Work Permits

Good news for corporate entities that have not yet renewed the 2018 work permits for their foreign employees with the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (“MLVT”).On 29 March 2018, the MLVT issued Notice No. 012/18, extending the previous deadline of 30 March 2018 to 30 April 2018 to give employers more time to renew their foreign employees’ work permits.  To avoid penalty, work permit renewal applications for all foreign employees must be submitted through the Foreign Worker Centralized Management System (www.fwcms.mlvt.gov.kh) by this date.  If you have any questions, or would like us to assist with this process, please contact me ([email protected]) or Mr. Alex Larkin ([email protected]).
