Not to mention you have a foreign nationality, especially in a country in the North America region or the EU, the UK also creates an opportunity for investors and their family members to enjoy a good education and civilized healthcare. bribery.
However, the article in Nguoi Lao Dong also has the title “It is not easy to stop buying a foreign state to obtain citizenship”, because it is difficult to control money and assets on behalf of other people abroad.
The article also said that according to official data, from 2015 to now, the number of individual investors from Vietnam bringing money abroad has increased, while investment from state-owned companies has decreased.

Mr Volek confirmed that “it is necessary to invest 2 million euros and donate 200,000 euros for applicants for Cypriot citizenship, including their spouse”.

Regulation 102 has some content that party members should pay attention to
Normative and practical
Currently, the Vietnamese government and the ruling Communist Party have many very detailed regulations to control their bureaucracy, public officials, and 5 million Party members.
In 2017, a ruling by the Communist Party of Vietnam outlined dozens of bans against party members, including pretty strict things about relations with foreign countries, the issue is still considered “sensitive” from the perspective of socialist politics. in Vietnam.
Regulation 102, published in early 2018, specifies a series of prohibitions such as:
* Auto or act to allow parents, spouses, children, siblings, brothers to travel, visit, study or heal in the country or abroad with the sponsorship of the organization, foreign persons without permission (article 26);
* Have a child married to a foreigner or a Vietnamese resident abroad who has political attitudes against the Party and the State. (Article 25)
Yet at the same time, there were officials and party members who not only went abroad to do business, but also bought foreign citizenship.
For example, the member of the Communist Party, member of the National Assembly, Mr. Pham Phu Quoc, received Cypriot citizenship (2018) with the testimony of having been “sponsored by his wife and children”.
Although Mr. Quoc was removed from his post in the National Assembly, the question posed by public opinion is how to avoid a similar situation with other officials.
Before Pham Phu Quoc, there was the National Assembly delegate, Nguyen Van Than, a Polish national (after declaring that she had resigned), and the National Assembly delegate, Nguyen Thi Nguyet Huong, had more Maltese nationality; was fired in 2016.
As early as 5-6 years ago, the Vietnamese press considered the phenomenon of officials ‘dispersing large assets’ abroad to be quite popular and “very difficult to get back” money in Vietnam.
Tuoi Tre newspaper in September 2016 quoted an expert in the field of remittances talking about the diversity and creativity in transferring assets from Vietnam abroad.
From that moment on, in addition to “transferring money by investing, buying shares”, there is also a way to “send children to study abroad in the country they intend to settle …”
Therefore, this phenomenon has happened for quite some time.
What is new is that lawyer Nguyen Van Hau’s statement now raises the question of whether or not the Vietnamese police and military participate in the “migration” routes by investing abroad or dispersing earned assets. be in some way in the country to have a foreign passport.
The Vietnamese press has not found a case in the bloc of successful military uniforms in this field.
However, there was a senior security officer who committed a crime and it was revealed that he tried to buy a US passport.
The Vietnam newspaper in 2019 and early 2020 said that Security Lieutenant Phan Van Anh Vu (Vu Aluminum), who was arrested and imprisoned in the 2018 case, claimed that he had spent “US $ 700,000 to apply for a national passport” . US citizenship for the whole family “but” cheated “and failed to achieve that goal.
