Accordingly, regarding the case of a Vietnamese citizen violating immigration regulations and being detained in Myanmar, implementing the Government's direction, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has closely coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security , Vietnamese representative agencies in Myanmar and Thailand, relevant domestic agencies and local authorities to complete the dossier, issue a shortened passport, carry out necessary procedures and complete exit procedures to bring the citizen back to the country.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , as of April 29, 221 more Vietnamese citizens have returned home safely, bringing the total number of people brought back after two waves to 260.
The citizens were repatriated on three flights from Bangkok to Hanoi on April 28 and 29, 2025. The Consular Department and the Immigration Department have prepared plans and coordinated to receive and hand over the citizens to their families and relevant localities.
Currently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively working with relevant countries, continuing to verify identities to bring the remaining citizens back home as soon as possible.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also 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.
