What the Decision is.
Decision 1830/QĐ-TTg issues the Plan to connect the national identification application VNeID with the electronic-identification systems of ASEAN countries. Deputy Prime Minister Hồ Quốc Dũng signed it on behalf of the Prime Minister on 22 September 2026, on the proposal of the Minister of Public Security. It took effect on signature.
Who it binds.
The Ministers of Public Security, Foreign Affairs, and Science and Technology, and the heads of related agencies. The Ministry of Public Security leads and reports to the Prime Minister. Singapore and Laos are the only partner countries the Plan names; other ASEAN systems are an intention for later years.
What it does not do for a business.
The Plan:
The Plan also requires that cooperation, connection and data exchange stay within the scope, purpose and method the competent parties agree. That is a condition on the State parties, not an opening for anyone else.
How ComplianceOne holds it.
Decision 1830 is a reference framework. Its milestones belong to ministries and show as authority dates, never as your deadlines. It raises no obligation, risk tier or score of its own.

If your organisation uses VNeID today, your binding duties come from elsewhere:
Decision 1830 does not cite any of them and changes none of them. Its legal bases are the Law on Government Organisation, the Data Law, the Personal Data Protection Law and Decree 165/2025/NĐ-CP. So account linkage, connection security and access history are still read from Decree 69 and Decree 320. A State pilot plan is never read as a private-sector obligation.
| Milestone | Lead | Date in the Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Cooperation documents with Singapore and Laos, and the technical connection standard | Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Ministry of Science and Technology for the standard | Before 15 October 2026 |
| Content proposal for signing, cross-border immigration procedure, connection and data-sharing documentation, test environment, immigration-system configuration | Ministry of Public Security | Before 30 October 2026 |
| Test connection with Singpass and LAeID, with a report on API integration, authentication, data reconciliation and transaction logs; testing records; security, cybersecurity and personal-data-protection assessment | Ministry of Public Security | Before 15 November 2026 |
| Pilot at Nội Bài and Tân Sơn Nhất international airports | Ministry of Public Security, with airport operators, airlines and partner-country authorities | 15 November to 15 December 2026 |
| Pilot evaluation and expansion proposal | Ministry of Public Security | Before 25 December 2026 |
| Immigration impact report, and the summary report to the Prime Minister with a draft plan for the next phase | Ministry of Public Security | Before 31 December 2026 |
Every date below belongs to a ministry. None is a deadline for your organisation.
Two dates are often misreported. The cooperation documents and the technical standard are due before 15 October, not in a 15 to 30 October window. The pilot evaluation is due before 25 December, six days ahead of the reports to the Prime Minister.

ComplianceOne tracks fifteen outputs the Plan names. When checked on 25 September 2026, three days after signature, none had been published:
Each status carries the date and basis of its check. All fifteen are due to be rechecked by 24 November 2026, after the 15 November milestones. An output becomes a control, a field or a deadline in ComplianceOne only once it is issued and read from its signed text.
Until the cooperation documents exist, there is no cross-border arrangement for anyone to rely on.

Decision 1830 appears on the Regulatory Frameworks page as a reference record, with its milestones as authority dates and its fifteen outputs as tracked items. It links to the Identity Law, Decree 69 and Decree 320 without borrowing their weight.
Model a flow before you depend on it, if you choose to.
Cross-Border Identity Exchanges, under Trust & Identity Evidence, is an optional register. It is for an airline, travel, banking or onboarding business that expects to rely on cross-border identity. Decision 1830 does not require it, and the register says so in English and Vietnamese. Each record describes one flow:
Hold production behind a gate.
A new record starts as modelled and not authorised. Moving it to production is a separate action behind its own permission. ComplianceOne refuses it until four things are recorded, and names each one that is missing:
A flow in production returns to testing, and loses its production approval, when an edit breaks the gate or changes anything that defines the flow. That includes the parties, countries, direction, purpose, attributes and authorisation.
Count outcomes from events, not typing.
Where a flow links an identity profile, the success, failure and inconclusive counts come from that profile's authentication events. With no profile linked, the register reads No identity profile linked. With a profile but no events, it reads No authentication events recorded.
What ComplianceOne does not do.
It connects to no identity system and holds only what you record. It is not interoperable with, recognised by or equivalent to VNeID, Singpass or LAeID. It gives you no route into the pilot.
Holds the per-account linkage records and the account lifecycle events.

Explore Audit TrailOrganizations operating under Decision 1830 should confirm:
Yes. It took effect when it was signed on 22 September 2026. It is a State implementation plan, so what it sets in motion is work for ministries.
No. It assigns tasks and dates to the Ministries of Public Security, Foreign Affairs, and Science and Technology. Airport operators and airlines appear only as parties the ministry coordinates with during the pilot. Your binding VNeID duties still come from the Identity Law, Decree 69 and Decree 320.
No. The Plan grants no private access to any of the three systems. The transfer rules of the Personal Data Protection Law and the Data Law continue to apply in full.
No. ComplianceOne connects to no identity system. It is not interoperable with, recognised by or equivalent to any of them. The Cross-Border Identity Exchanges register records your organisation's own view of a flow, and nothing else.
No. It is optional, and Decision 1830 does not require it. It exists so that the personal-data and transfer duties that would apply to a flow can be evidenced before the flow goes live.
The earliest are due before 15 October 2026. None had been published when checked on 25 September 2026, and every status is rechecked by 24 November 2026.
