Article 19 of the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens regulates who can be issued international travel documents. These documents are vital for crossing borders in areas where Vietnam has bilateral or multilateral agreements with neighboring countries.
👥 Who Can Be Granted International Travel Documents?
According to Vietnamese immigration law, the following individuals are eligible:
Vietnamese citizens residing in border areas who frequently cross to neighboring countries for work, trade, or family visits.
Citizens living in areas covered by treaties or international agreements between Vietnam and bordering nations that recognize international travel documents instead of passports.
Special cases approved by competent authorities where international travel documents are deemed necessary to facilitate cross-border movement.
These documents serve as a legal alternative to passports in specific regions, making border crossing more convenient for daily or short-term travel.
