More than 2,000 cards issued to people entering and exiting the Vietnam - Laos border market
(Baonghean.vn) - From January 14, 2024, Nam Can International Border Gate Border Guard Station (Nghe An Border Guard) officially deployed the use of entry cards to Nam Can border market.

Unlike previous trips to the market, this time, Vietnamese citizens and tourists will go to the barrier gate and present valid identification documents (ID card, passport, travel document, driver's license, etc.) to register before entering the market.

After checking and verifying the documents, the authorities will issue people a card to enter and exit the market. During the process of entering the market, people will always wear the card and be subject to inspection, supervision and guidance from Border Guard officers in the border gate area. After leaving the market, people will go to the barrier and return the card to the Border Guard officer.

According to records, the first market session (January 14) applying this regulation, despite the rainy weather, was still crowded with people and traders coming to buy, sell and exchange.
Although this was the first time the Nam Can International Border Post applied the card issuance, the operation went smoothly, without any obstacles or congestion. People coming to the market complied and happily registered to receive the card.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hong Duc - Head of Nam Can International Border Guard Station said that 2,015 cards have been issued by Nam Can International Border Guard Station for people to enter and exit to buy and sell goods, ensuring security and order in the border area.
There are still 2 more market sessions from now until Lunar New Year, the demand for going to the border market is increasing, so Nam Can Border Guard Station plans to make more market entry cards to serve the people.
