Vietnamese 馃嚮馃嚦 citizenship for foreign spouses

Hi all.


Have any expat members had any experience with trying to become a VN citizen to your knowledge ? I鈥檓 currently searching for information on this precise topic, but a lot of what I鈥檝e found is contradictory or from unconfirmed sources. That said I鈥檓 still having issues flying domestically in Vietnam with my VNeID 馃槱馃槱 thus far I鈥檝e managed to get on my flights, but most check in agents and their managers聽 haven鈥檛 been trained. In one case in November, departing Phu Quoc the head of immigration had to authorise my travel. Booking into hotels using VNeID has been less of a problem. Apart from one hotel in Da nang last week, that flatly refused to accept it.

Regards

Hello, about How to be a VN citizen, what points did you find contradictory?

Regarding the VNeID, it is certainly a headache for foreigners yet. I have it, but also useless because foreigners cannot do any update on it by themselves, while VN citizens just pair the chip in their plastic ID to the cellphone and ready. Therefore it is better to wear your hard TRCand passport (or 6 month notarized copy) with you

Hi ajairon,

I read one article that said ask a spouse of a VN citizen you don鈥檛 need to show financials and you don鈥檛 need the language level. However another article contradicted this statement completely. With regards to my VNeID i simply refuse to get out my passport or TRC when travelling, the frontline staff, because they鈥檝e had NO training, need to start recognising this a valid form of domestic travel. Only then will it become easier for us all. I鈥檓 not rude, I do everything with a smile and always (apart from da nang hotel) 馃ぃGet my point across and get on my merry way.

Hi, regarding the VN citizenship, the money and language exemptions are true only for family ties able to support you, that means: a marriage. The only requisite unclear to me is how guaranteed is the VN President will approve your request to keep your nationality of origin (the dual citizenship must be approved by the VN President). I know many people living here for years with their VN spouses, but unfortunately none of them have run for a PRC or Naturalization either.

So, the paperwork is not complicated, maybe US$ 700, and hope the President accepts you to get a dual citizenship and with your own name. Go ahead, then share your experience to us


About VNeID and expats, I will act as the Devil's Lawyer: is your photo shown in your VNeID passport? If not, won't blame the hotel or travel agents for denying your identity

The VNeID is not yet ready for foreigners, but it's why the have, but it's a good idea and the VN Gov. must start with something

Hi Ajairon,


Many thanks for your reply. I may have a stab at the citizenship and will report my experience accordingly.

With regards to the VNeID my photo isn鈥檛 shown on either the passport or TRC, however it is shown on the VNeID homepage once you鈥檝e entered your password. Immigration officers just ask to see that, the problem is getting past check in at airports. 馃ぃ

I flew from 膼脿 N岷祅g (business class Vietnam Airlines) to-and-from both S脿i G貌n and H脿 N峄檌 during the past month.


Both the agent at the ticket counters AND the security officers prior to inspections demanded to see BOTH my Temporary Resident Card (TRC) and my passport, along with my boarding pass.
