According to Vietnam’s Immigration Law, a passport is a legal travel document and proof of citizenship. However, in certain cases where a person’s citizenship status changes, their passport will be revoked or invalidated by the competent authority.
📌 Cases Where Passports Are Revoked or Invalidated
A Vietnamese passport may be revoked or invalidated if the holder falls into one of the following categories:
-
Renunciation of Vietnamese Citizenship
-
Citizens who formally renounce their Vietnamese nationality will no longer be entitled to hold a Vietnamese passport.
-
-
Deprivation of Citizenship
-
Individuals deprived of their Vietnamese nationality by law or court decision will have their passports revoked.
-
-
Cancellation of Naturalization Decisions
-
Persons whose naturalization in Vietnam has been canceled will no longer have the right to use a Vietnamese passport.
-
⚠️ Implications for Citizens and Travelers
-
Once a passport is revoked or invalidated, it is no longer valid for international travel.
-
The holder must return the passport to the issuing authority.
-
If the person still needs to travel, they must use the passport of their new nationality or apply for alternative travel documents.
