HCM CITY - Workers in HCM City can live temporarily in industrial zones from July 15 towards ensuring smooth production and related business activities, municipal authorities say.

Under regulations on management of industrial parks and economic zones, both experts and employees will be offered temporary residence permits in industrial parks.

Previously, “general” workers were not allowed to live in industrial parks and export processing zones. Permission was only granted in a few cases to foreigners who were managers, executives and experts.

53 projects will be carried out to relocate more than 20,300 houses on canal banks in HCM City. VNA/VNS Photo
