Can foreigners apply for re-issue of lost permanent residence cards?

According to Clause 2, Article 43 of the Law on Entry, Exit, Transit and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam 2014, regulations on replacement, reissuance of permanent residence cards in Vietnam are as follows:

2. If permanent residence card is lost or, damaged, or its contents are changed, its holder must follow the procedures for reissuance of the card at the police authority of the province where he/she has the permanent residence. The application consists of:

a) An application form for reissuance of the permanent residence card;

b) The permanent residence card (or a report on the loss of the card);

c) A certified true copy of the passport, except for those without nationalities;

d) Papers proving the changes to the contents of the permanent residence card.

Thus, based on the above provisions, in case foreigners lose their permanent residence cards, they may go to the provincial police offices of their places of permanent residence in Vietnam.
