From July 1 to August 19, the Ministry of Public Security will deploy nationwide the issuance of level 2 electronic identification accounts for foreigners residing in Vietnam and open a "50-day peak period for issuing level 2 electronic identification accounts for foreigners residing in Vietnam".

According to records, on the morning of July 2, at the headquarters of the Immigration Department (A08, Ministry of Public Security ), dozens of foreigners came to apply for level 2 electronic identification accounts to facilitate transactions and enjoy digital transformation benefits in Vietnam.

Data used to issue accounts includes personal information, passport number or international travel documents, permanent or temporary residence card, portrait photo, and biometric information. Photo: DO TRUNG

During the 50-day peak period, Unit A08 will work at full capacity, even outside of business hours, to receive requests from those in need, with no limit on applications per day. In addition, foreigners residing in Vietnam can install the VNeID electronic identification application and register with their own SIM card in Vietnam. This is very convenient for data synchronization, shortening the time for administrative procedures compared to before. Photo: DO TRUNG

Colonel Nguyen Ba Tuan, Deputy Director of A08, emphasized that the issuance of electronic identification accounts helps foreigners easily carry out administrative procedures online, reducing time, paperwork and direct contact, while ensuring authenticity and protecting legitimate rights during their stay and work in Vietnam. In addition, level 2 electronic identification accounts also facilitate foreigners to use many digital utilities in Vietnam such as: verifying information in banking transactions, registering to rent a house, using public services, storing electronic residence cards and other legal documents on the VNeID application.

For the management agency, establishing a unified and consistent “digital profile” for each individual foreigner contributes to improving the efficiency of verification, authentication, residence management, prevention and handling of violations if any. This policy not only serves management requirements but more importantly, brings a convenient, safe and friendly administrative experience to foreigners in Vietnam.
