Article 9 of Vietnam’s Immigration Law clearly defines who can be issued official passports. These passports are granted to certain categories of Vietnamese citizens who perform state duties or hold positions requiring overseas assignments but do not qualify for diplomatic passports.
👥 Eligible Persons for Official Passports
Official passports may be issued to the following groups:
Cadres, civil servants, and public employees who are sent abroad on official duty.
Officers and professional military personnel of the People’s Army and People’s Public Security forces traveling for state-assigned missions.
Other individuals as prescribed by competent authorities when their work abroad requires an official passport.
These passports are strictly used for state-related tasks, not for personal travel or tourism.
📌 Key Notes on Usage
Holders of official passports must comply with regulations on their use, management, and return after duty.
Misuse of an official passport, such as for personal travel, may result in revocation or invalidation.
Relatives of certain officials may also be considered under specific conditions outlined in the law.
