Military Service Law 2015 stipulates:

- Male citizens aged 17 and above, and female citizens aged 18 and above with appropriate professional skills can register for military service;- Citizens aged 18 will be conscripted;- The age for conscription is from 18 to the end of 25 years old;- Citizens who received higher education at college or university and had their military service postponed will have the conscription age extended to 27 years old.

Therefore, the age for conscription is from 18 to the end of 25 years old; if still studying, the conscription age is extended to 27 years old. In cases where citizens voluntarily register for military service, males must be at least 17 years old and females must be at least 18 years old, with appropriate professional skills.
