Abstract
The out-migration of Vietnamese workers seeking overseas employment is the main type of international migration in Viet Nam. There are various government institutions generating data on immigrants and emigrants. The Exit-Entry Department of the Immigration Bureau monitors the outflows of Vietnamese nationals and the inflows of foreign nationals into the country. The General Statistics Office collects data on immigration, but the data collected by the census are not comprehensive. The Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs is responsible for data on contract-based labor migration. The Ministry of Public Security and Border Guard Command are potential information providers on irregular migration into and from Viet Nam; however, the collected data are not made public. Commercial banks do not differentiate remittances transferred by overseas Vietnamese workers and other remittances. The scarcity, availability and accessibility of international migration data are areas in need of improvement.
