The online system was piloted in multiple localities across the country in the past 6 months. It takes this hotel employee only a few minutes to register this South Korean tourist. The online declaration can be done anytime, anywhere with just a smart phone or computer connected to the internet.
“After our guests check in, we need only two minutes for the declaration process”, said Ngo Thi Duyen in World Hotel, Bac Ninh City, Bac Ninh Province.
“In the past, we had to do it manually and submit necessary documents to the district police. It was time-consuming and not up-to-date. Now it's really convenient”, said Nguyen Van Son -House owner in Bac Ninh City, Bac Ninh Province.
The new online system doesn't only benefit common people but also help police with their management duties.
“When a foreigner arrives, we know immediately thanks to the online system. It's a technological breakthrough of the Ministry of Public Security, which suits international integration”, said Colonel Nguyen The Hiep, Head of Immigration Division, Bac Ninh Provincial Police Department.
“They only need to log on to the corresponding Immigration agency's website after receiving an account from the agency. The registration is free. In the website, 6 pieces of information on the foreigner will be entered”, said Major General Le Xuan Vien - Director of Immigration Department, Ministry of Public Security.
The move is intended to help save time and costs.
