Article 38 of Vietnam’s Immigration Law regulates the duration and possible extension of exit postponement for Vietnamese citizens. Exit postponement is applied in specific legal or security-related circumstances, ensuring compliance with national laws while still protecting the rights of citizens.
⏳ Exit Postponement Period
-
The exit postponement period is determined based on the decision of competent authorities (such as the Ministry of Public Security or the Ministry of National Defense).
-
This measure is temporary and applied only in cases where individuals are:
-
Involved in pending investigations or legal proceedings.
-
Required to fulfill administrative sanctions.
-
Restricted from leaving Vietnam for national defense or security reasons.
-
🔄 Extension of Exit Postponement
-
Authorities may extend the postponement period if the legal or security grounds remain valid.
-
Each extension must be based on clear, documented reasons and must be notified to the affected individual.
-
Once the conditions for postponement are no longer applicable, the restriction will be lifted immediately.
