Can investigators in the People’s Public Security serve beyond the retirement age in Vietnam?  

Article 58 of the Law on Organization of Criminal Investigation Bodies 2015 stipulates service age limits of investigators as follows:

1. The highest service age of investigators who are officers in the People’s Public Security or the People’s Army must comply with the Law on People’ Public Security or Law on Officers of the Vietnam People’s Army. The retirement age of investigators of the Supreme People’s Procuracy must comply with the Labor Code.

2. Where it is so demanded by the investigating bodies of the People’s Public Security or People’s Army, investigators who possess good qualities, professional qualifications and skills and are physically fit and willing may serve beyond the retirement age prescribed by the Minister of Public Security or Minister of National Defense but not beyond 60 years for men and 55 years old for women, except for female officers of the general rank.

According to current regulations in Vietnam, if investigators possess good qualities, professional qualifications and skills and are physically fit and willing may serve beyond the retirement age.
