On December 28, 2018, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment issued Circular 35/2018/TT-BTNMT stipulating criteria for identifying and issuing the List of Invasive Alien Species.

The determination of invasive alien species and potentially invasive alien species must be based on the following criteria:

For determining invasive alien species:

- Currently encroaching on habitats, competing for food, or causing harm to native organisms, spreading strongly, or causing an ecological imbalance in locations where they appear and develop in Vietnam;- Evaluated as having a high risk of invasion to biodiversity and recorded as invasive in regions with climates similar to Vietnam or showing invasive tendencies through testing and experimentation.

For potentially invasive alien species:

- Capable of developing and spreading rapidly, exhibiting competition for food, habitat, and potentially causing harm to Vietnam's native species;- Recorded as invasive in regions with climates similar to Vietnam;- Evaluated as having a high risk of invasion to the biodiversity of Vietnam.

More details can be found in Circular 35/2018/TT-BTNMT effective from February 11, 2019.
