Illegal entrants, as well as expatriates who overstayed their visas, are on the rise in Ho Chi Minh City, with the majority of them hailing from China or African countries.
The information was stated by local police officers at meeting on maintaining public safety within Ho Chi Minh City’s tourism sector, which was held on Thursday last week.
According to Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thanh Tu, head of the Bureau of Foreign Relations under Ho Chi Minh City’s Public Security Department, the problem of foreign tourists and immigrants breaking the law after gaining temporary residence status in the city is increasing.
