Article 39 of the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens outlines the order and procedures applied when a citizen’s right to leave the country is temporarily postponed. It also regulates how postponements can be extended or canceled. This ensures that decisions relating to exit control are applied consistently, transparently, and in accordance with national security requirements.
✅ Key Regulations under Article 39
Exit Postponement Procedures
Issued when a citizen falls under cases prescribed in the law (e.g., ongoing investigations, unsettled legal obligations, or national security concerns).
Implemented by competent authorities with proper documentation.
Extension of Exit Postponement
If the reasons for postponement still exist, the authority may extend the period.
Extensions must follow the same strict review process to avoid abuse or unnecessary delays.
Cancellation of Exit Postponement
Once the grounds for restriction no longer exist, the authority must promptly cancel the order.
Citizens regain full rights to exit Vietnam once the cancellation is officially confirmed.
