According to official information from the representative of the Tax Department at the seminar organized by Dan Tri Newspaper, thanks to the interconnected electronic data transmission system, procedures Cancellation of exit suspension due to tax debt is now processed extremely quickly – only words are lost 3 to 5 minutes immediately after the taxpayer completes the obligation.

Cancel exit suspension due to tax debt in just 3 - 5 minutes: New coordination regulations

At the discussion "Cleaning the tax code: How to 'close' businesses smoothly?" Organized by Dan Tri Newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Duc Huy - Deputy Head of Tax Operations Department (Tax Department) shared the outstanding reforms in the immigration management process related to tax obligations.

Accordingly, from May 2025, the Tax Agency and the Immigration Department (A08 - Ministry of Public Security) have officially implemented regulations on coordination, connection and fully automatic data transmission in electronic form.

  • Immediate processing: When the taxpayer completes tax payment via the application eTax Mobile or National Public Service Portal, the payment data is immediately sent to the tax authority to issue a notice to cancel the exit suspension.

  • Record time: Information on the release of exit postponement orders is transmitted directly to the immigration management department at border gates not only during 3 to 5 minutes.

This reform completely resolves the fear of "being stuck at the airport" due to lengthy administrative procedures, helping people and businessmen feel more secure before each departure.

Which cases are subject to temporary exit due to tax debt?

To avoid falling into the situation of being refused exit right at the border gate, Mr. Nguyen Duc Huy noted the following cases subject to the application of current law:

  1. Business Owner / Beneficiary: For operating businesses with tax debt ranging from 500 million VND or more, the owner or beneficiary is required to complete tax obligations before leaving the country.

  2. Legal representative of an enterprise that ceases operations: Individuals who are legal representatives of businesses that are no longer operating at the registered address but have not completed the tax code closing procedures are still responsible for completing outstanding tax obligations.

Important warning from the Tax Department: Review Tax Codes in statuses 03 and 06

Representatives of the Department of Taxation especially recommend that taxpayers need to proactively review their tax status, especially before planned trips abroad (travel, business, study abroad, work).

  • Status tax code 03: The enterprise ceases operations but has not completed the procedure to deactivate its tax code.

  • Status tax code 06: The business does not operate at the registered address.

If you are representing businesses in this group, please proactively contact the tax management agency for instructions on completely handling tax obligations. Proactive review will help you avoid legal problems or unexpected interruptions to your international travel schedule.
