Vietnam grants level-2 e-ID accounts to foreign residents from July 1
Vietnam began issuing level-2 electronic identification
(e-ID) accounts for foreign residents in the country on July 1 as part of the
national digital transformation agenda and governance modernisation efforts.
According to the Ministry of Public Security’s Immigration Department,
foreigners holding valid temporary or permanent residence permits in the
country are eligible to obtain the digital ID, making it easier for them to
complete online administrative procedures while reducing processing time,
paperwork and direct contact requirements. The system ensures authentication
accuracy and protects legitimate rights during their stay in Vietnam. VNA
