In Article 40 of the 2015 Military Service Law, there are regulations on pre-enlistment medical check-up for conscripted citizens as follows:

1. Presidents of People’s Committees of districts shall issue the decision on establishment of Pre-enlistment check-up board at the request of Offices of Health of the same levels.

2. The Military Commander of district is in charge of issuing order for medical examination for citizens conscripted into the army; Head of Police department of the district is in charge of issuing order for medical examination for citizens conscripted into the police. The order for medical examination shall be sent to the citizens at least 15 days before the date of examination.

3. The Pre-enlistment check-up board of districts shall provide medical examination for citizens subject to conscription; in case of necessity, the Pre-enlistment check-up board of districts shall decide the subclinical examination, including examination for drugs, HIV; ensuring the accuracy and taking responsibilities for the result of pre-enlistment check-up.

4. The pre-enlistment check-up shall be conducted from November 01^st to December 31^st of every year. Time of the second pre-enlistment check-up shall be according to the regulations in Article 33 of this Law and decided by the Prime Minister.

5. The results of medical examination shall be posted at the head office of People’s Committees of communes and relevant organizations/agencies within 20 days.

Thus, according to regulations in Vietnam, the results of pre-enlistment medical check-up are not sent to the examiner but are posted publicly at the commune-level People's Committee within 20 days.

Article 41 of the 2015 Military Service Law stipulates:

1. These following citizens shall have conscription postponed:

g) Any citizen who is studying at compulsory education institutions or receiving training of university level at higher education institutions or training of college level at vocational education institutions for a training course of a level.

In case you reserve, it will not be counted in your training time at the education institution, so you are not subject to postponement of conscription in Vietnam.

If I commit a gambling crime and am serving my sentence, will I be conscripted into the army in Vietnam? Please ask, I was fined 20 million by the court for gambling twice in 1 year and I haven't finished serving it yet. Now that I have a pre-enlistment check-up order, do I meet the political standards to participate in military service?

According to the provisions of Article 13 of the 2015 Military Service Law:

1. Citizens in any of the following cases must not register for military service:

a) Any citizen who is facing criminal prosecution; serving the prison sentence, non-custodial re-education, bearing surveillance or citizen who has carried out the prison sentence but without expunging of criminal record;

b) Any citizen who is bearing education at communes or is being at reform school, compulsory re-education schools, compulsory detoxification centers;

c) Any citizen whose right to serve in People’s armed forces is revoked.

2. When the duration of measures specified in clause 1 of this Article expired, the citizen may register for military service.

In case you are fined 20 million VND by the court for gambling twice in 1 year and have not yet completed it, you are not allowed to participate in military service. Only after serving the sentence and having your criminal record expunged will you be eligible.

Best regards!
