Vietnam's new passports follow international standards and will still be issued despite visa denial by three European countries, the immigration department said.

 

A representative of the Immigration Department under the Ministry of Public Security said Tuesday there were "no problems" regarding the new passport, so issuance would still commence as usual. The new passport is issued in accordance with Vietnamese law and satisfies International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, the unnamed official said.

 

Regarding the fact that the new passport has either not been acknowledged or refused visa issuance by certain countries, the department said it is cooperating with the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with the issue through diplomacy.
