- Conditions for registration are as prescribed in Article 22 of the Law on Public Employees. Agencies or units competent to recruit public employees specified in Clause 1, Article 24 of the Law on Public Employees may supplement with other conditions as required by the job positions specified at Point g, Clause 1, Article 22 of the Law on Public Employees, but must not be lower than common standards, must not be contrary to the provisions of the law, must not discriminate against the type of training.

Does changing from Kinh to Hoa affect the public employee recruitment exam in Vietnam?

I'm currently of the Kinh ethnic group and I'm doing the procedure to correct my ethnicity according to my mother's ethnicity as Hoa to facilitate the exam. I want to ask if if I take the exam to be a state official, will I change to ethnicity? Will it affect my chances of taking the exam and passing the Public Employee exam?
