birthplace information

Ordinary passports issued before January 1, 2023, according to previously issued forms, are still valid until the expiry of the period stated in the passport.

The addition of "place of birth" information to the Vietnamese passport will ensure stable and long-term legitimate rights and interests for Vietnamese citizens when conducting immigration activities in other countries, according to Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Defense and Security Committee Le Tan Toi.

Spokesperson of the Public Security Ministry To An Xo yesterday announced that his Ministry has instructed the Vietnam Immigration Department to add information on the holder’s birthplace in the notes section of Vietnam’s new form of ordinary passport from September 15.

The Spanish Embassy in Vietnam yesterday announced on its official Facebook page that it would refuse visa issuance to Vietnamese people owning a passport in the new form (dark blue color) from July 1 due to a lack of information about their birthplace.

Vietnam’s visa policy is favorable and will continue to be reformed to facilitate foreigners’ entry, an official of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) has said.
