Article 44 of the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens defines the responsibilities of state authorities in managing immigration. The law ensures that the exit and entry of Vietnamese citizens are handled with transparency, security, and compliance with international obligations.
✅ Key Responsibilities of State Management
The State of Vietnam is responsible for:
Formulating immigration policies in line with the Constitution, laws, and international treaties.
Managing the issuance, revocation, and renewal of immigration papers (passports, e-passports, and travel documents).
Operating the national immigration database to ensure accuracy and transparency in exit and entry records.
Maintaining national security and social order while facilitating legitimate travel of Vietnamese citizens.
Ensuring coordination among ministries and local authorities to handle immigration efficiently.
