The text of this Circular on resolving the question of Vietnamese citizens wanting to leave the country to join their families or for other humanitarian reasons is as follows: "1) Those Vietnamese citizens applying for exit visas to resettle abroad must complete all procedures established by the Ministry of Interior. The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for considering and solving applications for exit visas and for notifying the applicants of the results. It must issue exit visas and do other paperwork for those Vietnamese citizens applying for exit visas. 2) The Foreign Affairs Ministry is responsible for cooperating with immigrant-accepting countries and other relevant international organizations in solving entry procedures for those already approved by the interior ministry for leaving the country."
