Authorities in Khanh Hoa have penalized 42 foreigners since September for immigration violations, with deportation procedures initiated for 15 of them. Violations included overstaying, working without authorization, and activities inconsistent with the declared purpose of entry.
According to the source, authorities are enforcing not only overstaying rules but also the requirement that foreigners’ actual activities match the declared purpose of entry. For people relocating to Vietnam, this makes it important to verify the permitted stay, work authorization, and visa purpose before beginning employment or other activities. The source also stresses that hosts must register foreigners’ temporary residence, including in private and company-provided accommodation. This is particularly relevant to long-term residents, workers, and renters because violations can lead to fines or deportation.
