As mentioned, all ASEAN governments actively manage inflows of skilled workers. As such, they have policies and regulatory measures that facilitate skilled worker inflows. Governments liberalise inflows of skilled workers to encourage inward foreign investment, meet short-term skills shortages (required for developing specific services), facilitate longer-term structural and industrial upgrading as well as fulfil commitments on “movement of natural persons” under the World Trade Organization (WTO) and various Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Among the facilitating measures are: allowing entry of business persons and intra-corporate transferees of multinational corporations; recognition of foreign academic and professional qualifications; “national treatment” access to education, health and other public services; provision of improved living and working environment for foreigners (such as ensuring personal safety and access to recreational/entertainment activities); and even offers of permanent residence and citizenship
