    Lao Dong Newspaper Legal Consulting Office replied:

    Article 1 of the Trade Union Law (amended) 2024, effective from July 1, 2025, stipulates the right to establish, join and operate trade unions as follows:

    1. Vietnamese workers have the right to establish, join and operate trade unions.

    2. Foreign employees working in Vietnam under a labor contract with a term of 12 months or more are allowed to join and participate in trade union activities at the grassroots trade union.

    3. The establishment, joining and operation of trade unions shall comply with the provisions of the Charter of the Vietnam Trade Union, this Law and other relevant legal provisions.

    Thus, foreign citizens working in Vietnam under a labor contract with a term of 12 months or more are allowed to join and participate in trade union activities at grassroots trade unions within the Vietnam Trade Union system.
