In understanding the Vietnamese community abroad as inseparable sections of the Vietnamese nation, Resolution 36-NQ/TW of the CPV Politburo on overseas Vietnamese affairs was proposed “to create favorable conditions for overseas Vietnamese to come back, visit their homeland and relatives, and worship their ancestors”.

In carrying out Resolution 36-NQ/TW, during his official visit to the United States of America, President Nguyen Minh Triet, at a meeting with overseas Vietnamese, announced Decision No. 135/2007/QĐ-TTg, the Regulations on Visa Exemption for Vietnamese People Residing Abroad.

Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dzung signed Decision No. 135/2007/QĐ-TTg on 17/08/2007.
