Effective April 1, 2026, Vietnam has introduced Decree No. 59/2026/ND-CP. These rules outline how the government handles legal violations and deportations for foreign nationals.
Key Points to Be Aware Of

Foreign nationals who violate administrative regulations in Vietnam—such as overstaying, working without proper authorization, or misusing the purpose of their visa—may be subject to deportation.
2. Immediate Deportation in Certain Cases
In cases where an individual is unable to pay administrative fines, authorities may proceed with deportation without delay.
3. Fully Digitized Immigration System

- Submit a request for reconsideration
6. Temporary Stay During Processing
During the deportation process:
- Individuals may be assigned a designated place of stay under supervision
- Relevant information may be shared with accommodation providers for monitoring purposes
7. Cases Eligible for Deportation Postponement
Deportation may be delayed under the following circumstances:
- Ongoing legal proceedings
- Serious illness or force majeure (e.g., natural disasters, war, epidemics)
