Can United States citizens obtain Vietnamese nationality?

Under Clause 1, Article 19 of the Vietnamese Nationality Law 2008:

1. Foreign nationals and stateless persons permanently residing in Vietnam who file applications for Vietnamese nationality may be permitted for naturalization in Vietnam if they satisfy the following conditions:

a/ Having the full civil act capacity as prescribed by Vietnam’s laws;

b/ Obeying the Constitution and laws of Vietnam; respecting the traditions, customs and practices of the Vietnamese nation;

c/ Understanding Vietnamese sufficiently enough to integrate themselves into the Vietnamese community;

d/ Having resided in Vietnam for 5 years or more by the time of application for naturalization;

e/ Being capable of making their livelihood in Vietnam.

Thus, U.S. citizens can completely obtain Vietnamese nationality when applying for Vietnamese nationality and meeting the above conditions.

Sincerely!
