Why hiring non-EU seasonal workers from Vietnam is a trend in Germany?

Hiring non-EU seasonal workers from Vietnam has become a growing trend in Germany due to a combination of demographic, economic, and labor market factors. Here are the key reasons behind this trend:

1. 🇩🇪 Labor Shortages in Germany
   Germany is experiencing acute labor shortages in several seasonal sectors, particularly:

• Agriculture (e.g., harvesting crops)

• Hospitality and tourism (e.g., hotels, restaurants)

• Elderly care and domestic services

These jobs are often low-paid, physically demanding, and not attractive to local or EU workers.

However, Vietnamese workers have many skills and experience for this sector, and they can accept the minimum wage. 

2. 🇻🇳 Vietnam as a Strategic Partner
   Vietnam has a large, young workforce willing to migrate for work, especially for limited-term contracts. Key advantages include:

• A good reputation for work ethic and adaptability

• A relatively high level of vocational training in some sectors

• A growing number of bilateral agreements and pilot programs between Vietnam and Germany

3. 🛂 Policy Support and Legal Pathways
   Germany has adjusted its immigration laws to make it easier to hire non-EU seasonal workers, including:

• Temporary work permits for sectors with recognized labor shortages

• Structured programs with partner countries (like Vietnam) to ensure ethical recruitment and proper training

4. 💶 Cost and Economic Efficiency
   Hiring from Vietnam can be more cost-effective for German employers because:

• Wages expected by Vietnamese workers may be lower than those demanded by EU-based workers (though they must meet minimum wage standards in Germany)

• Workers are often highly motivated to perform well due to the competitive nature of overseas job placements

5. 🌍 Diversification of Labor Sources
   Relying solely on Eastern European seasonal workers (e.g., from Poland, Romania) has become less sustainable as these countries face their own labor shortages and wage increases. Vietnam offers a way to diversify and stabilize Germany’s seasonal labor supply.

In summary, hiring seasonal workers from Vietnam reflects both Germany’s urgent need for labor and Vietnam’s readiness to supply it under organized, state-supported channels. This cooperation is increasingly seen as mutually beneficial.
