According to the provisions of the Labor Code of 2019, are there any regulations concerning the term of labor contracts for foreign workers in Vietnam?

According to Clause 2, Article 151 of the Labor Code 2019 (effective from January 1, 2021), it is stipulated:

The duration of labor contracts for foreign workers working in Vietnam must not exceed the duration of the work permit. When employing foreign workers in Vietnam, both parties may negotiate multiple times on fixed-term labor contracts.
