Digital identity accounts will be issued for foreigners residing in Vietnam

The Ministry of Public Security will launch a 50-day campaign—from July 1 to August 19, 2025—to issue Level-2 digital identity accounts to foreign nationals residing in Vietnam, according to a report from the Government News.

The initiative targets foreign individuals holding valid permanent or temporary residence cards.

The campaign is part of efforts to support Vietnam's growing international integration. As the number of foreigners living, studying, working, and traveling in the country increases, there is a rising demand for streamlined and secure access to public administrative services.

Holders of a Level-2 digital identity account can enjoy benefits to authenticate information for banking and rental agreements; access public services more conveniently and store electronic residence cards and other official documents via the VNeID mobile application, available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

Foreigners are encouraged to complete their registration during this campaign period to take full advantage of the enhanced digital services.

Foreign individuals residing in Vietnam can apply for a Level-2 digital identity account at the Immigration Management Office, Hanoi Police, No. 44 Pham Ngoc Thach Street (hotlines: 0692.191.506 or 0912.691.388); or at the Immigration Management Office, Ho Chi Minh City Police, No. 196 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street (hotline: 0283.829.9398).
