Article 22 of the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens regulates the time limits within which authorities can refuse to issue immigration papers. This ensures transparency, fairness, and legal compliance in managing immigration procedures for Vietnamese citizens.
⏳ Time Limit for Refusal
Immigration authorities must notify applicants within the legally defined timeframe if their request for immigration papers (such as passports or travel documents) is refused.
The refusal must be in writing, clearly stating the reason and legal grounds for the decision.
This helps citizens understand their situation and ensures accountability from state agencies.
📌 Why This Regulation Matters
✅ Protects citizens’ rights by preventing delays or arbitrary decisions.
✅ Ensures state agencies follow strict deadlines.
✅ Gives applicants clarity and time to take corrective measures (e.g., completing missing documents, resolving legal issues).
