How many days left until demobilization in 2024 in Vietnam?

In Article 21 of the Law on Military Service 2015, duration of service in regular armed force in peacetime of non-commissioned officers/enlisted soldiers is 24 months.

In Article 22 of the Law on Military Service 2015, there are regulations on the term of active service as follows:

Method for calculating duration of service in regular armed force of non-commissioned officers/enlisted soldiers

1. Duration of service in regular armed force of non-commissioned officers/enlisted soldiers is calculated from the day on which the soldiers are transferred or from the day on which People's Army accept the soldiers to the demobilized day decided by competent authorities.

2. The duration of desertion and time of serving the temporary prison sentence shall not be included in duration of service in regular armed force.

Thus, the active duty service period of non-commissioned officers and soldiers in peacetime is 24 months in Vietnam.

However, up to now, the specific launch date in 2024 has not been officially announced. Therefore, the remaining days for demobilization in 2024 have not yet been specifically determined and need to wait for official announcement from the Ministry of Defense in the near future.

Article 7 of Decree 27/2016/ND-CP stipulates one-off discharge allowances and allowances for job creation and travelling provided for discharged non-commissioned officers and soldiers as follows:

One-off discharge allowances and allowances for job creation and travelling provided for discharged non-commissioned officers and soldiers

1. In addition to one-off benefits from social insurance under law provision on social insurance, the discharged non-commissioned officer/soldier shall receive one-off discharge allowances; the allowances for one year serving in the military force shall be equal to the amount of 2 month’s statutory pay as regulated by the Government at the time of discharge.  Allowance for an incomplete year: Less than 1 month: no allowance; 1 – 6 months: 1 month’s statutory pay; from more than 6 months to 12 months: 2 month’s statutory pay. 

2. Non-commissioned officers/soldiers who have served in military force for 30 months inclusive shall receive an additional allowance equal to 2 month’s current monthly rank allowances when discharged; if discharged prior to the time mentioned above, an additional allowance of 1 month’s current monthly rank allowances shall be paid for the period from the 25^th month to the 30^th month.

3. Non-commissioned officers/soldiers who fulfill their duty of military service as specified in the Law of Military Duty shall receive allowances for job creation equal to 6 month’s basic salary when being discharged as regulated by the Government on the discharge day.

4. Discharged non-commissioned officers/soldiers will have a farewell meeting before discharge held by their supervisory authority with the cost of VND 50,000/person; and taken back to their residence place as regulated or provided with an allowance for travel.

Thus, citizens who serve 2 years of military service will receive a one-off discharge allowance. For each year of service in the Army, the allowance will be equal to 02 months of base salary at the time of discharge in Vietnam.

Therefore, when discharged from the military in 2024, you will receive a one-off discharge allowance of 7,200,000 VND (currently the base salary is 1,800,000 VND/month) in Vietnam.
