Article 36 – Persons Whose Exit is Postponed

Under Vietnam’s Immigration Law, there are specific situations where a Vietnamese citizen’s exit from the country may be postponed. These regulations are designed to protect national security, uphold public order, and ensure compliance with legal obligations.

📌 Who May Have Their Exit Postponed?

Exit postponement can apply to Vietnamese citizens in the following cases:

1. Individuals under investigation – Persons currently being investigated, prosecuted, or serving a criminal sentence.

2. Pending civil or economic disputes – Citizens involved in unresolved civil, economic, or administrative cases that require their presence in Vietnam.

3. Tax or financial obligations – Those who have not yet fulfilled tax duties or other significant financial responsibilities.

4. National defense and security cases – When the Minister of Public Security or the Minister of National Defense decides on postponement for security reasons.

5. Other legal provisions – Any additional cases outlined by Vietnamese law where exit postponement is deemed necessary.

⚖️ Legal Basis

Exit postponement is not a permanent restriction but a temporary measure. Once the reason for postponement is resolved, citizens may proceed with their passport or visa applications for overseas travel.
