You'll NEVER be Vietnamese! (Even w/ VIETNAM PASSPORT?!) 😰

You will never be Vietnamese! Although getting Vietnam passport will open more opportunities for you to live, work and invest in Vietnam, the truth is, you will never be treated like a real Vietnamese citizen with just the Vietnam Passport. Sure you will be able to travel to Vietnam as many times as you want and stay long term indefinitely without the need to apply for a Vietnam Visa but that is about it.
In this episode, Lawyer Ken Duong will discuss why the Vietnam passport is not enough to be Vietnamese and what you really need to do in order to be treated as a real Vietnamese citizen . He will also go over why you want to be treated as a Vietnam citizen and how you can be treated like a real Vietnamese.

I remembered back in the day, local policemen sometimes come to your house/business because they want something from you. Don't know if that's happening for small businesses or well off citizens in Vietnam. I'm already stressful just thinking about these things in Vietnam.

If you are a resident of Dubai, you can use your Emirates ID to clear immigration through their automated immigration checkpoint (just 10-15 seconds processint time) along with your Boarding pass and a finger biometric scan. No need for showing passport to any immigration officer. Resulting in faster immigration procedure anr avoiding long immigration ques. If the same can roll out for VN, that would be great 👏 I think it will start this year for all major Int Airports in VN.

Hello. I saw a news article that says something about issuance of identity card at Vietnamese Airports starting on July 1, 2024. Could you do a video on that please.

[@user-hp1gn5mg7c]

I think it would be more beneficial for Vietnam to offer something like a 5 years retirement visa. Most refugees do not have paperwork for proof of nationality, only migrants do. MY wife is a refugee, who left Vietnam in 1979. She has been back to her hometown and trying to track down her birth certificate but the hospital and the local ministry just point fingers at each other, seems they lost the record. We're looking to retire in Vietnam in the next few years but currently very difficult.

This system also exists in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Etc. it's extremely easy to get a Taiwanese (Republic of China) passport but it's very difficult to get a family book and even people working there for decades have been unable to obtain one. This is because Asian countries view citizenship and nationality as distinct things.

I'm a bit confused on this part, I thought one was supposed to have been included in a family book before being able to buy a condo or a house in VN. Is it the new law that one can legally obtain a family book after buying a property??

[@user-hp1gn5mg7c]

Foreigners or non-Vietnamese citizens can buy properties without land like a condo or apartment unit without a National ID or Family Book. If you want to buy a house with land, you need to have a National ID, well at least for now. Heard they planning to change this requirement.

[@quasicesium]

@@user-hp1gn5mg7c I'm more concerned with the bit where he says a foreigner can buy a condo and then register in "your own family book" in order to get the national ID; how does a foreigner get that book in the first place?!

[@user-hp1gn5mg7c]

@@quasicesium This only works for VK, not for non-Vietnamese foreigners. Technically you can apply for a family book if your spouse is Vietnamese but cannot use it to apply for a national card since it also requires a birth certificate in VN.

You are eligible, but not at this time, as authorities prioritize people who were born in Vietnam at the moment.

So you're saying your Dad is not American? 😂 Your mom is American, but what's her ethnicity? I'm sure both of your parents are American. Maybe you can get another passport from your mother's heritage, I'm assuming from somewhere in Europe? I'm 100% Vietnamese and 100% American.

[@sebastianniqvist3144]

This obviously applies only to Vietnamese people or people with Vietnamese ancestry. Foreigners as usual have no rights. I love Vietnam but there are so many obstacles for foreigners. And putting assets under your Vietnamese spouse NEVER ENDS UP WELL FOR THE FOREIGNER. You will see the truest colors of your spouse when you are getting divorced; don’t forget that.

[@tonymon6147]

Tan Son Nhat will be used for domestic travel in the future while Long Thanh will be the new international airport

[@kevbrown1867]

Long Thanh will be the new airport it is about 40 minutes east of the city .The construction has been delayed and finally has started but it will be years before it is finished. Currently Tan SON NHAT is building a third terminal again that will take years and by then Long Thanh will be finished. Really not sure what they use for brains They should have started the new airport years ago and build it to its full design capability. Long Thanh has a lot of space and the design is for it to be like a regional hub like BKK or Hong Kong but they just plan to build it for international flights and keep Tan Son Nhat for domestic flights. So you can see international travellers arriving and transferring to say a flight to Nha Trang will have to take 2 hour bus ride to get to the other airport . Long Thanh should have been built long ago it has be planned and use it for both domestic and international flights and then shut down Tan Son Nhat and sell off the land to developers to build homes

[@hyperpedro2868]

It is on the cards but it will takes ages I guess. The connection to the city center with the metro is important and the delays for the metro are massive in Saigon. At least the current airport allows to go quickly to the center with the bus.
