Those who’ve lived in the city continually for twenty years, or since July 1, 1989, will be granted status as Vietnamese nationals.
Individual districts will make lists of residents who fall into this category. After being identified, these people will be given instructions on the necessary procedures needed to give them legal status.
Afterwards, a final list will be presented by the People’s Committee to the Misistry of Justice, the prime minister and the president for their approval.
