Tay Ninh Provincial Police has detained Tran Thi Phan, born in 1976 and living in Tan Dong Commune, for allegedly organising the illegal stay of other people in Vietnam.
Earlier, on October 27, the Immigration Department, working with police in Tan Dong and Tan Hoi communes, inspected accommodation at the home of a man in Tan Dong Commune and the home of a woman in Tan Hoi Commune.

The inspection found 10 Bangladeshi men, aged between 22 and 55, who had not registered their temporary residence and had overstayed their permits in Vietnam since 2024.
Police said Phan had rented the two properties from local households to accommodate the group of foreign workers.
In questioning, Phan said she knew the men had overstayed but still rented homes for them. According to her statement, she needed workers and the cost of hiring the Bangladeshi group was lower than hiring domestic labour.
By September, she had rented houses in Tan Dong and Tan Hoi communes to accommodate the Bangladeshi workers for construction jobs in the area.
