CONSIDERING THE WISHES OF VIETNAMESE CITIZENS SETTLING IN NON-SOCIALIST COUNTRIES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE COUNTRY, THE STATE HAS PERMITTED DOMESTIC HOUSEHOLDS WITH RELATIVES SETTLING IN SUCH COUNTRIES TO RECEIVE MONEY AND GOODS SENT BY THEIR RELATIVES.

THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN TRADE AND THE STATE BANK OF VIETNAM ISSUE THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE FOR IMPLEMENTATION.

 

I. PROCEDURES FOR APPLYING FOR LICENSES AND REGISTRATION BOOKS FOR RECEIVING MONEY AND GOODS
REGISTRATION BOOKS FOR RECEIVING MONEY AND GOODS

1. DOMESTIC HOUSEHOLDS DESIRING TO REGULARLY RECEIVE MONEY AND GOODS FROM RELATIVES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES MUST SUBMIT APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES TO THE PROVINCE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE PROVINCE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE).

THE APPLICATION FORMS ARE TO BE COMPLETED IN THREE COPIES ACCORDING TO A UNIFORM MODEL PRINTED BY THE PROVINCE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE, AND MUST INCLUDE THE LIST OF FAMILY MEMBERS AS REGISTERED IN THE HOUSEHOLD REGISTRATION BOOK (IF THERE IS NO HOUSEHOLD REGISTRATION BOOK, THE LIST MUST BE CERTIFIED BY THE COMMUNE OR WARD PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE) AND THE NAME OF THE RELATIVE ABROAD WHO FREQUENTLY SENDS MONEY AND GOODS.

2. THE PROVINCE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE WILL BEGIN ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES TO RECEIVE MONEY AND GOODS FROM FEBRUARY 15, 1983. THE TIME LIMIT FOR NOTIFYING THE APPLICANTS OF THE RESULTS SHALL BE NO MORE THAN 15 DAYS FOR HO CHI MINH CITY, DANANG, HAI PHONG, AND HA NOI, AND 30 DAYS FOR OTHER LOCATIONS, COUNTING FROM THE DATE OF RECEIVING THE APPLICATION.

MONEY SENT BACK EXCEEDING THE MONTHLY LIMIT CAN BE DEPOSITED IN THE BANK ACCORDING TO THE PROCEDURE DETERMINED BY THE STATE BANK OF VIETNAM.

2. WITHDRAWING MONEY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY, TO INVEST WITH THE STATE, OR TO ESTABLISH COOPERATIVE OR SMALL AND HANDICRAFT INDUSTRIES IS ENCOURAGED WITHOUT LIMITATION.

7. WHEN RECEIVING GOODS, THE APPLICANT MUST PAY A FEE OF ONE PERCENT OF THE VALUE OF THE GOODS AS DETERMINED BY THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN TRADE AND THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

 

IV. EFFECTIVE DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION

1. Regarding the time of application. To allow relevant sectors and localities a reasonable period to settle pre-existing remittances and goods, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the State Bank of Vietnam have stipulated as follows:

- The new cash receipt system shall be implemented from March 15, 1983.

- The new goods receipt system shall be implemented from April 1, 1983.

2. As of March 1, 1983, the sale of goods at preferential prices for those who received foreign remittances will be suspended, and the new exchange rate with bonuses will be applied.

Those who had remittances sent before February 28, 1983, and had concluded agreements based on the official exchange rate plus the bonus rate set by the State Bank of Vietnam but had not yet purchased goods may continue to purchase until March 15, 1983. After March 15, 1983, individuals holding valid purchase orders can return them to the State Bank of Vietnam and receive an additional amount corresponding to the difference between the new bonus rate and the old one.

3. From now on, apart from the Vietnam Foreign Trade Bank or organizations authorized by this bank, no other agency, government body, organization, group, or individual in Vietnam shall engage in the business of receiving foreign currency remittances from overseas Vietnamese residents under any form.

4. Households that receive money or goods from relatives abroad, if they take advantage of these funds or goods for speculation, smuggling, disrupting the market, or harming national security, the People's Committee of the province shall issue a decision to suspend their receipt of money and goods according to the severity of the violation, and they may also be subject to punishment under the Ordinance on Punishment of Speculation, Smuggling, Counterfeiting, and Illegal Business Operations.

Upon receipt of this circular, all levels of banks, customs, or post offices (where there is no customs organization) must carefully study it and immediately report to the People's Committee of the province to develop a detailed implementation plan in accordance with the prescribed timeframe and inform the public.

During the implementation of this circular, if difficulties or obstacles arise, the People's Committees, banks, and customs or post offices of the provinces (where there is no customs organization) should promptly reflect these issues to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the State Bank of Vietnam for research and resolution.
