Vietnam Considers Dual Citizenship in Revised Law

W. Syaban

April 19, 2025

Vietnam may soon allow dual citizenship and ease citizenship rules for foreigners under proposed changes to its nationality law, according to a new draft by the Ministry of Justice.

The suggested revision to the Law on Vietnamese Nationality outlines specific situations wherein people might be permitted to possess both Vietnamese citizenship and an additional nationality.

Such exceptions would be determined by the Vietnamese government. Currently, Vietnam allows only single nationality, mandating citizens to relinquish foreign citizenship upon obtaining Vietnamese nationality, except in certain cases.

Moreover, particular groups might be able to circumvent current criteria like linguistic competence, required period of residence, and economic self-sufficiency in order to obtain Vietnamese citizenship.

Groups eligible for consideration encompass people with at least one parent or grandparent who holds Vietnamese citizenship, as well as foreign nationals who have significantly contributed to Vietnam’s progress and safety.

Minors with at least one Vietnamese parent would no longer need "full capacity for civil acts" to apply for citizenship.

This amendment aims to streamline the procedure for previous Vietnamese nationals looking to regain their citizenship. It eliminates present limitations that mainly restrict reinstatement of nationality to people with family connections in Vietnam, as well as investors or those who have made notable contributions to the nation’s development or safety. Additionally, it includes individuals who formerly lost their Vietnamese nationality without successfully acquiring another one.

The Ministry of Justice stated that this step is in line with global practices, as numerous nations currently permit multiple citizenships, thus motivating previous citizens to reestablish their connection with Vietnam.

By March, Vietnam had restored citizenship to 311 individuals and naturalized 7,014 applicants as Vietnamese nationals. It’s worth noting that 60 people kept their initial foreign nationalities after acquiring Vietnamese citizenship.
