Where should I submit my marriage registration with a foreigner?

Hello, I’m a lawyer. This is NHX from BD . I am 33 years old and currently want to marry a Korean man. I went to the People’s Committee of the commune where I was staying to apply, but they told me that the district had no authority. It seems that everyone registers their marriage in the commune, but why isn’t my case registered? Is the commune People’s Committee causing difficulties for me ? Can I file a complaint to resolve the above issues? Thank you.

2014 provides as follows:

“ Article 37 Authority to submit marriage registration”

1. The People’s Committee of the district where Vietnamese nationals reside shall register marriages between Vietnamese nationals and foreigners. Between Vietnamese nationals residing in the country and Vietnamese nationals residing abroad. Vietnamese people living overseas. Between a Vietnamese national who also holds a foreign nationality and a Vietnamese national or foreigner .
2. When a foreigner residing in Vietnam applies for marriage registration in Vietnam, the district-level People’s Committee of either place of residence must register the marriage. ”

Therefore, according to the provisions of the above law, when marrying a foreigner, the authority to submit marriage registration belongs to the district People’s Committee. The answer to you of the People’s Committee of the Commune about the authority to register such marriages is well-founded.

What procedures are required to marry a foreigner?

I have a question that I would like some advice on. Currently, I am a party member and hold the positions of secretary and treasurer of the Xuan Thien Commune People’s Committee. I applied for leave of absence on July 28, 2015, but it has not been resolved. I applied for a marriage status certificate because I need to submit a marriage registration with a foreigner (Taiwanese), but they refused to sign the confirmation form.

Reason: I still work in government agencies, especially as a party member. Therefore, please tell me whether such a refusal is correct or incorrect according to the provisions of the law. If so, please advise on issues regarding party membership and what procedures are required to file a favorable marriage registration. So, I hope a lawyer can help! I hope you get legal advice soon. Sincerely thank.

The conditions for marrying a foreigner are as follows:

– Married men and women must meet the following conditions: men must be 20 years old, women must be 18 years old. Marriage is a voluntary decision between a man and a woman. Civil conduct capacity is not lost. This marriage does not fall under any of the cases where marriage is prohibited as set out in Article 5, Section 2, a , b , c and d of this Law .
