How can a Ukrainian citizen obtain Vietnamese citizenship?
According to Vietnamese law, there are several options for acquiring citizenship, including:
- By descent.
Citizenship by descent is granted to a child automatically if both parents are Vietnamese citizens. In this case, the child can be born anywhere in the world. If one of the parents is a foreigner, the place of birth of the child is decisive, and the child will be a citizen of Vietnam only if he or she is born in the country.
- By birthright.
Children born in the republic, but whose parents are unknown (foundling children), are automatically considered Vietnamese citizens by birthright. This category also includes children born to parents who are permanent residents of Vietnam, but who are stateless at the time of birth.
- Through naturalization.
What are the conditions for obtaining Vietnamese citizenship?
- a period of permanent residence in the SRV of at least 5 years;
- legal age of majority;
- knowledge of the Vietnamese language.
In the Republic of Vietnam, the age of majority is 18 years. The most difficult thing for foreign nationals is to master the Vietnamese language. Successful learning of the state language, which is one of the most difficult, requires good teachers and great patience. A potential applicant for Vietnamese citizenship also needs to study the country's history and traditions and carefully comply with all its laws.
