The South Sudan Ministry of Labour on Tuesday warned the public against dealing with unauthorized individuals offering labour-related services at Juba Airport.
In a public circular issued by the ministry’s undersecretary, Deng Kenjok, authorities said no officers or representatives have been deployed to the airport to handle work permits, labour inspections, fee collection or any related services.
The ministry stressed that all work permit applications, payments and other labour processes are conducted exclusively through its official offices and authorized channels.
It advised the public not to make any work permit or labour-related payments at the airport and urged anyone seeking such services to deal directly with the ministry.
Work permits in South Sudan are official documents issued to foreign nationals, allowing them to work legally in the country. The labour ministry is responsible for regulating employment, issuing permits, enforcing labour laws and protecting workers’ rights.
The notice comes amid concerns over possible fraud and unauthorized activities targeting foreign nationals and employers.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that all labour services are delivered through lawful and official procedures.
