Children Adopted From Vietnam before July 1, 2009 No Longer Need to Register to Retain Vietnamese Nationality

On June 24, 2014, the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam approved a Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Citizenship Law of Vietnam. This law abolishes the requirement for Vietnamese citizen children adopted from Vietnam before July 1, 2009 to register in order to retain Vietnamese nationality, as posted in our October 2013 announcement.
