On the afternoon of May 15, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to reporters' questions regarding the protection of Vietnamese citizens in Myanmar who were detained for violating regulations on entry and exit into the country, Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang stated that regarding the case of Vietnamese citizens violating regulations on entry and exit and being detained in Myanmar, implementing the Government's direction, as of May 15, 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vietnamese representative agencies in Myanmar and Thailand have closely coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security , relevant domestic agencies and local authorities to bring more than 450 citizens home safely.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively working with relevant countries and continuing to direct Vietnamese representative agencies in Myanmar and Thailand to coordinate with local and domestic authorities to bring the remaining citizens home as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that Vietnamese citizens be vigilant against invitations to go abroad for "easy work, high salary." Citizens need to carefully research the content, regime, and expected location of work to avoid falling into fraudulent "traps" and becoming illegal residents and workers abroad.
