How many days off per year does an active non-commissioned officer in Vietnam have?

How many days off per year does an active non-commissioned officer in Vietnam have? Can the loan of an active non-commissioned officer before joining the military be deferred for repayment in Vietnam?

Hello, I have this issue that needs to be resolved. My son is currently an active non-commissioned officer in the military for 7 months. It's been a while since I saw him at home, so I'm a bit worried. Occasionally, I only receive a few phone calls from him, but we can't talk for long. I wonder how many days off an active non-commissioned officer has per year?

How many days off per year does an active non-commissioned officer in Vietnam have?

According to Article 3 of Decree 27/2016/ND-CP on leaves of active non-commissioned officers and soldiers in service:

1. From the 13th month on service, an active non-commissioned officer or soldier has an annual leave of 10 days (exclusive of the travel time) and receive allowances for travel cost under current regulations.

2. For non-commissioned officers and soldiers who have studied in military or non-military schools or institutes for at least one year and have a summer vacation between two academic years, such vacation shall be considered period of leave and payment for travel cost shall be made as per current provisions. 

3. If leave cannot be granted due to a combat situation or threat thereof or difficulty in travel, the leave will be converted into an amount of money.  The payment for one leave day shall be equal to the daily meal allowance of a non-commissioned officer/foot soldier.

4. For non-commissioned officers/soldiers who have used up their annual leave, if their family suffer from natural disaster or a serious fire or their parents, parents-in-law; lawful fosterer; spouse; children or legally-adopted children pass away or they gain remarkable achievements during duty performance, they will be given a special leave of a period of no more than 5 days (exclusive of the travel time) and receive an allowance for travel.

Therefore, your son, who has served in the military for 7 months, has not yet been entitled to annual leave. According to the above regulations in Vietnam, active officers from the thirteenth month onwards are entitled to annual leave, and the number of leave days is 10. Your son, who has served in the military for 7 months, has not yet been entitled to annual leave.

Can the loan of an active non-commissioned officer before joining the military be deferred for repayment in Vietnam

According to Article 5 of Decree 27/2016/ND-CP on other benefits for active non-commissioned officers and soldiers:

1. They shall be exempt from postage when sending money, mailers or parcels and provided with 4 letter stamps/month of which the price is regulated by the Ministry of Information and Communications and monthly rank allowances in the same period.

2. Non-commissioned officers and soldiers who are members of poor household or students who have taken loans from Vietnam Bank for Social Policies shall be eligible for an interest-free deferral of loan repayment during the service period under current regulations.

3. Active non-commissioned officers and soldiers who satisfy standards for political quality, ethics, culture, health and age may sit the entrance exam as regulated by the Ministry of National Defense and shall be given plus points when sitting entrance examinations as currently regulated.

Therefore, the loan taken before joining the military by a non-commissioned officer will be deferred for repayment if the non-commissioned officer is a member of a poor household, or a student who have taken loans from Vietnam Bank for Social Policies. However, if the non-commissioned officer does not fall into the mentioned categories and has borrowed from a different bank, the loan will not be deferred for repayment.

Best regards!
