Vietnam Relaxes Domestic Passport Formalities

Vietnam Relaxes Domestic Passport Formalities

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung issued a decree Monday to streamline the country’s passport formalities.

The decree orders that applications be handled in eight days’ time, at the latest, upon the receipt of relevant documents.

New or renewed passports will now last for 10 years instead of the previous eight-year terms.

Additionally, the decree also states that passports replace ID cards in all administrative procedures in Vietnam.

The public security and foreign affairs ministries will work with local agencies to issue specific guidelines on the implementation of this decree.

Vietnamese expatriates will submit passport applications to Vietnamese embassies in their respective countries.

Vietnam began enforcing a visa waiver for overseas Vietnamese on the first of the month and since August 15 provincial and municipal immigration departments have begun accepting applications and issuing passports via mail.
