MoL warns overseas employment agencies for non-compliance

The Ministry of Labour (MoL) issued a notice on 12 December, stating that overseas employment agencies failing to submit the monthly worker-sending report three times or more will face revocation of their agency licences. The MoL has published a list of 30 overseas employment agencies that did not submit the worker-sending report for November 2023, with six failing to report for the third time.
This notice serves as the initial warning for non-compliance, and the identified agencies must sign a confession letter acknowledging the lapse. The MoL emphasizes that repeated failure to submit the report will lead to the cancellation of agency licences.
Overseas employment agencies are instructed to submit monthly worker-sending statistics to the department via email or office letter within the first five days of each month, even if no workers were sent.
As of November, there are 506 companies holding overseas employment agency licences in Myanmar. — TWA/TMT
