TUYÊN QUANG — Police in the northern province of Tuyên Quang have launched a campaign to check and control foreigners living and working in border areas, starting in Minh Tân Commune.

The operation, led by the Immigration Management Division with other units, will run across 17 border communes, focusing on those within the UNESCO Global Geopark Đồng Văn Karst Plateau.

On the first day, task forces inspected passports, visas and temporary residence declarations for foreigners. Traffic police conducted strict checks on vehicles and drivers transporting tourists along border routes.

Officers also provided on-the-spot guidance to foreign visitors and businesses on how to submit applications and obtain permits for border-area entry in line with the law.

Provincial police urged organisations and individuals, particularly businesses, to promptly file temporary residence declarations for foreign guests, ensure tourists comply with border-area rules, and avoid aiding improper residence or activities. 

Violations or negligent oversight will be strictly handled under the law. — VNS
