From January 1, 2025, the Agency will have the authority to monitor private employment agencies, a move aimed at increasing the legality and safety of the labor migration process.

Starting December 1, 2024, the financial reserve required for private employment agencies to obtain a license will be reduced from 8,500 to 4,000 times the minimum wage.

Furthermore, by January 1, 2026, the agency will gradually transfer its responsibilities for selecting, dispatching, and employing citizens abroad to private employment agencies, fostering more opportunities in labor migration.
