Vietnam can bar people from leaving the country over tax issues

Vietnamese authorities can temporarily bar individuals from leaving the country if they have unresolved tax issues, a regulation that many travelers remain unaware of until they reach the airport. The regulation applies to a broad range of individuals, including business owners, household business owners, and legal representatives of companies or cooperatives. Exit bans may be imposed if unpaid tax debts exceed certain thresholds and are overdue for more than 120 days. Travelers can check their status using an online tool provided by Vietnam's tax authority before traveling to avoid being unexpectedly turned away at the immigration counter.
