In forceChanging · Decree · Effective
Amended by 238/2026/NĐ-CP (effective ): Read the full 14-page signed PDF of Decree 238/2026/NĐ-CP directly (scanned, no text layer, read page-by-page as images). It amends: Điều 3 khoản 3 điểm i/l (remedial measures), Điều 6 (child-seat fines), Điều 13, Điều 14, Điều 17 (registration-plate/cargo-securing fines), Điều 18 khoản 4 điểm a ONLY — the 16-18-year-old age band, not khoản 5/khoản 7 (the motorbike no-licence fines cited in this article's claims c7-c9), Điều 20, Điều 21, Điều 26, Điều 29, Điều 32 (commercial passenger/cargo vehicle fines), and replaces Điều 42/Điều 43 (authority caps: 37,500,000 VND for commune-level chairs, 75,000,000 VND for provincial-level chairs). Does not touch Điều 18 khoản 5/7 or Điều 45 khoản 2 (the individual/organisation fining-authority multiplier), which this article's claims c7-c10 rely on. Correction 05/10/2026 (Công báo text): Điều 19 khoản 3 of Decree 238 also adds "hoặc có quy định cấm của cấp có thẩm quyền đối với loại phương tiện đang điều khiển" to điểm i khoản 5 Điều 6, điểm b khoản 6 Điều 7 and điểm d khoản 6 Điều 8 of Decree 168 (driving on a road closed to that vehicle type) — cited by hai-van-pass-guide c40/c41.

Circular of the State Bank of Vietnam guiding the use of foreign-currency accounts and Vietnamese-dong accounts of residents and non-residents at licensed banks
In forceChanging · Circular · Effective
Amended by 39/2026/TT-NHNN (effective ): Per press summaries, this amendment only adds a new Điều 2a and amends Điều 9 and khoản 2 Điều 11 to let foreign credit institutions use agent accounts in Vietnam for international payments/transfers — it does not touch Điều 3-8 (the individual/organisation credit-debit rules used in this research's c9-c11). Not independently verified against the amendment's primary text — flagged as impact 'none' based on secondary reporting only, not a direct read of 39/2026/TT-NHNN itself.
Ordinance on Foreign Exchange (Standing Committee of the National Assembly)
In forceChanging · Law · Effective
Amended by 23/2026/QH16 (effective ): Law amending the Law on the State Bank, the Anti-Money-Laundering Law and the Law on Credit Institutions. Per the consolidated text 140/2026/VBHN-PL-VPQH (23/9/2026), it repeals Điều 22 (use of foreign exchange on Vietnamese territory) and khoản 2 Điều 34 of the Ordinance from 2026-12-01.

Amended by 03/2026/QH16 (effective ): Replaces this law. Law 03/2026/QH16 (Luật Hộ tịch) was passed by the National Assembly on 23/4/2026 and takes effect 1/3/2027 (Điều 29 khoản 1); Law 60/2014/QH13 expires from that date (Điều 29 khoản 2), and civil-status files received before it and not yet finished continue under the rules in force when received (Điều 30). Read from the signed Gazette PDF, Công báo số 285 of 27/5/2026 (congbaocdn.chinhphu.vn/180507251028987904/2026/5/27/469530-1779268193_v1_1779843006_signed.pdf, text layer, 05/10/2026). Affected: Điều 35 and 37 of the 2014 law (which office registers a birth or a foreign-element marriage, tied to residence) are replaced by Điều 8 khoản 1, Điều 15 and Điều 16 (commune-level People's Committee, regardless of the person's residence); the 60-day birth deadline (Điều 15 khoản 1 of the 2014 law) is carried over in Điều 15 khoản 3; Điều 11 replaces the foreign-document legalisation and translation rules (translation: signature certified, notarised option not repeated). The detailed procedure is left to Government decrees (Điều 29 khoản 4 điểm b). Not yet in force, so not a top-level entry.
Amended by 16/2026/QH16 (effective ): Replaces this law; Law 16/2026/QH16 was passed by the National Assembly on 24/8/2026 and takes effect 1/3/2027 (Điều 34 khoản 1); Law 35/2013/QH13 expires from that date (Điều 34 khoản 2), and mediation cases not finished before it continue under Law 35/2013/QH13 (Điều 35 khoản 2). Read from the signed Gazette PDF (datafiles.chinhphu.vn/cpp/files/vbpq/2026/9/16-qh16.signed.pdf, scan, read by eye 04/10/2026). Điều 3 khoản 1 (scope) is reworded: point b now excludes disputes arising from a civil transaction that violates a legal prohibition or social morality, in place of the 2013 wording on civil-transaction violations that civil procedure law does not allow to be mediated. Điều 4 khoản 1 keeps the voluntary principle. Not yet in force, so not a top-level entry.
