Revisiting the topic about Vietnam Exit Visa - Child Born in VN w/USC in 2025

Hi All

I want to revisit a VJ topic "Vietnam Exit Visa - Child Born in VN w/USC" from the year 2015.  My wife is thinking about having a baby in Vietnam.  In my opinion I feel she is complicating the birth of an U.S. newborn in terms of visa and registering the birth. She wants to have the baby near her family in Vietnam since my side of the family in the U.S. won't be very reliable when comes to helping with the newborn when needed which I totally understand. 

 

Based on this post in 2015, the recommended approach is Vietnamese citizenship and passport to exit then CBRA to enter U.S. with US Passport. Another option is a exit stamp with a US a passport.   Since 2015, I am sure new Vietnamese immigration laws are in effect and old one got phased out so if this approach or new approach is still recommended for a newborn.

 

If anyone could share their recent experiences with the process of registering a newborn and exiting Vietnam and entering U.S. of an USC that would be great.
