Law on Nationality, 28 June 1988.

Among other things, this Law considers the father's and mother's blood bonds to be of the same importance in determining the nationality of their children. The principle of blood bond is applied to determine the Vietnamese nationality of a child whose parents are either Vietnamese citizens or one of whom is Vietnamese and the other without nationality or of unknown nationality (Article 6). This principle aims to ensure Vietnamese nationality for children of Vietnamese blood from their birth. The Law also stipulates that a child, one of whose parents is a Vietnamese citizen, will bear Vietnamese nationality, provided that he or she is born in Viet Nam or that his or her parents are residing in Viet Nam at the time of the birth. The parents may, however, choose another nationality for their child if they so desire. If the child is born abroad, the choice of nationality will entirely depend on his or her parents, if they have no permanent residence in Viet Nam at the time of the birth (Article 6). The law ensures Vietnamese nationality for children whose parents bear no nationality but are residing in Viet Nam. The same applies to children of unknown parents found in Viet Nam (Article 6). The rights and interests of children are guaranteed by the principles contained in Chapter 4 of the law. If the parents of a child decide to change their nationality in a normal way (to adopt, relinquish, or recover their Vietnamese nationality), their children's nationality will change accordingly. But when the parents are deprived of Vietnamese nationality or their request to be naturalized in Viet Nam is turned down, their children's nationality will not change (Article 10).
