Are Tattoos Grounds for Exemption from Military Service?

According to Clause 2, Article 5 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP stipulating the exemptions from conscription for the following citizens:

- Child of a martyr, child of a category one war invalid.

- A brother or sister of a martyr.

- A child of a category two war invalid; a child of a person with reduced labor capacity due to illness or injury from 81% or more; a child of a person affected by Agent Orange with reduced labor capacity from 81% or more.

- Cipher work personnel not being military personnel or People's Public Security.

- Officials and public employees, youth volunteers assigned to work in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions according to legal regulations for 24 months or more.

Thus, even though you have a tattoo on your arm, if you do not belong to the above-mentioned cases, you will not be exempted from performing military service. Therefore, those who meet other standards still have to participate in military service according to the call-up order.

Sincerely!
