Immigration to Vietnam

[3] Many of the recent immigrants are Vietnamese who had left the country in the 1970s[4] and are returning to Vietnam due to more favorable political and economic conditions.

Over the last decade, many immigrants have been attracted to the urbanized areas of Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Danang, and the Central Highlands.

[5] Neighboring provinces such as Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, Đồng Nai, and Bình Phước also witnessed an increase in immigration.

21/2001/ND-CP on 30 September 1992, the state has liberalized its visa policy with France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom, Phú Quốc island, and APEC Business Travel Card holders.

However, the Government announced that the same rules would not apply to nationals of France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Phú Quốc Island.

[9] Immigration applications are made at Vietnamese embassies or by consulates, and depend on the type of visa or permit required.
