Decree No. 59/2026/ND-CP sets out deportation penalties, temporary detention measures, and escort procedures for foreign nationals who violate Vietnamese law. The rules apply during deportation proceedings.
According to the government source, Vietnam has formalized measures that may be used during deportation proceedings against foreigners who violate the law. This does not change ordinary entry conditions for compliant travelers, but it underscores the importance of maintaining lawful status and conduct while in the country. The update primarily concerns foreigners already in Vietnam, as well as employers and accompanying family members who may be affected by immigration enforcement. For someone planning a move, it is relevant as part of the country’s enforcement framework rather than as a general entry restriction.
