A new government directive would make it easier for overseas Vietnamese artists to return to play in Vietnam, an official said.
To receive permission to perform, an artist should submit to authorities a performance application along with verification from the organizer of their show in Vietnam, according to Mr. Le Nam, Head of the Arts Performances Management under the Ministry of Culture and Information.
Artists must also submit a personal record of conduct certified by the Vietnamese embassy in their home country, he said.
While domestic singers are keen on performing abroad, many overseas Vietnamese artists seek to perform in their home country.
From 1991-2004, 70 artists living abroad were granted permission for shows in Vietnam, said Nam.
