Can public employees in Vietnam have two nationalities?

I am currently a government public employee. My child is currently working in Australia, he wants me to move to Australia when I quit my job. So my son told me to apply for Australian citizenship to make it easier for me to travel later. Can public employees in Vietnam have two nationalities?

According to Clause 1, Article 22 of the 2010 Law on Public employees, the conditions for recruitment of public employees are as follows:

1 A person who meets all the following conditions, regardless of nationality, gender, social status, belief and religion, may register for public employee recruitment:

a/ Bearing Vietnamese citizenship and residing in Vietnam:

b/ Reaching full 18 years of age. For a number of areas of cultural activity, arts. physical training and spoils, the age eligible for recruitment may be lower as provided by law with written consent of at-law representatives:

c/ Filing an application for recruitment:

d/ Having a clear personal background;

e/ Possessing diplomas, training certificates or practice certificates or aptitude and skills relevant to the working position for which he/she applies:

f/ Being physically fit for work or tasks;

g/ Meeting other conditions required by the working position for which he/she applies and determined by the public non-business unit, which must not be contrary to law.

Thus, it can be seen that only Vietnamese citizenship and residence in Vietnam are required for public employees. And when entering the public employee, there is no mandatory rule that there is only one Vietnamese nationality. So, public employees can have two nationalities. 

Best Regards!
