The ASEAN Economic Community is coming in 2015. Within the blueprint for the AEC, there is an article called “Free Flow of Labor.” The purpose of this article is to eliminate the barriers of skilled professional workers being employed within the countries of ASEAN. Through a series of negotiations for liberalization over several years, ASEAN nations are to come to an agreement for the recognition of professional qualifications in multiple occupations. Recognition of the professional qualifications means that citizens of ASEAN countries can be employed in each member countries without an employment visa.
