- Children born within or outside the territory of Vietnam whose parents are both Vietnamese citizens at the time of birth;- Children born within or outside the territory of Vietnam whose father or mother is a Vietnamese citizen at the time of birth, and the other parent is stateless or the mother is a Vietnamese citizen while the father's identity is unknown, shall have Vietnamese nationality;- Children born with either the father or mother as a Vietnamese citizen and the other parent as a foreign citizen shall have Vietnamese nationality if there is a written agreement by the parents at the time of birth registration. In the case of children born within the territory of Vietnam where the parents do not agree on a nationality for the child, the child shall have Vietnamese nationality;- Children born within the territory of Vietnam whose parents are both stateless but have a permanent residence in Vietnam shall have Vietnamese nationality;- Children born within the territory of Vietnam whose mother is stateless but has a permanent residence in Vietnam, and the father's identity is unknown, shall have Vietnamese nationality;- Abandoned infants or children found within the territory of Vietnam whose parents are unknown shall have Vietnamese nationality.
