Tax authorities in Vietnam have implemented exit bans against individuals to enforce state budget obligations.

In Gia Lai, the tax department announced exit bans for 79 taxpayers. Under Decree No. 252/2026/NĐ-CP, streamlined procedures allow taxpayers to expedite the lifting of these bans by submitting electronic proof of payment to resolve outstanding issues.

In Vinh Long, authorities have issued notices to the Immigration Department to suspend the exit of legal representatives from businesses that have been inactive at their registered addresses for more than 120 days without following proper tax restoration or termination procedures. To lift these restrictions, businesses must restore their tax codes, fulfill filing obligations, and pay outstanding debts.
