This information was disclosed by the Immigration Department during the press conference held by the Ministry of Public Security, which announced Decree No. 02/2025/ND-CP dated February 18, 2025. This decree outlines the functions, tasks, powers, and organizational structure of the Ministry of Public Security.
Accordingly, public opinion on social networks in recent days has been informed that after the Ministry of Public Security took over the task of state management of aviation security, security control at airports will be tightened, and people whose faces have changed compared to their passport photos will have more difficulty leaving the country.
In response to people's questions about the above content, Colonel Nguyen Ba Tuan, Deputy Director of the Immigration Department, said that in the work of controlling passports and documents, facial errors have always been warned in advance.
In particular, citizens who have changes in their facial photos must carry out procedures to issue and change their citizen identification cards and passports.
The Deputy Director of the Immigration Department recommends that citizens who have undergone plastic surgery to change their faces should apply for a new citizen identification card or passport to avoid difficulties when completing immigration procedures.
Starting March 1, the Ministry of Public Security will officially take on the task of ensuring aviation security.
Simultaneously, the Ministry of Public Security will oversee the aviation security force in organizing and implementing aviation security measures, and providing aviation security services at airports, airfields, and facilities handling goods and postal items for aircraft loading./.
