According to the Law on Exit and Entry of Vietnamese Citizens, diplomatic passports and official passports are special travel documents granted to individuals performing official duties abroad. However, when holders are no longer eligible, these passports must be revoked or invalidated to ensure proper management and compliance with the law.
✅ When Are Diplomatic or Official Passports Revoked?
A diplomatic or official passport may be revoked or invalidated in the following cases:
-
The holder has completed or ended their official assignment abroad.
-
The individual is transferred to a new position that does not qualify for the use of such passports.
-
The passport has been misused or used beyond the scope of assigned duties.
-
The holder is no longer eligible under Article 11 of this Law or relevant legal provisions.
These measures ensure that passports are used strictly for official purposes and in line with national security and state regulations.
