Article 37 of the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens regulates the authority of competent bodies in deciding whether a citizen’s exit from Vietnam should be postponed, extended, or canceled. This provision ensures both individual rights and national security interests are respected.
📌 Key Provisions of Article 37
Exit Postponement Decisions: Authorities may temporarily restrict a citizen’s right to leave Vietnam if they are involved in cases related to national defense, security, or pending legal obligations.
Extension of Exit Postponement: If necessary, competent agencies may extend the postponement period to allow for proper resolution of ongoing legal or administrative matters.
Cancellation of Exit Postponement: Once the reasons for postponement are resolved, the same competent body must promptly cancel the restriction, restoring the citizen’s right to exit.
Competent Agencies: Decisions are typically issued by the Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of National Defense, or other designated state bodies.
