The People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City granted the Vietnamese citizenship to 576 undocumented immigrants on July 9.
The above people have been living in Vietnam for more than 20 years and been complying with the law of the country, hence they were permitted to apply for Vietnamese citizenship.
Among the new citizens was Quach Tan Thanh from Le Van Tho Street in Go Vap District who could not hide his happiness when he received his citizenship papers.
He exclaimed, ‘We really love our adopted country, Vietnam, which has helped us for more than 20 years in the most difficult years of out lives. We want to settle down here to contribute more for the country’s growth. Today we really are proud citizens of Vietnam.’
