Until 31 December 2022, Article 25.1(h) of Law No. 50/2005/QH11 of November 29, 2005 amended by Law No. 36/2009/QH12 of June 19, 2009 provided a freedom of panorama provision for Vietnam, allowing photographs and television broadcasts of plastic arts, architecture, photographic works, and applied arts displayed in public spaces to be distributed to present images of these works.
This legal right did not cover other works like murals and literary texts on plaques or tables, as well as other types of representation of the covered works (like videos or films).
Civil Code of Vietnam of September 2005 (click "Tiếng Anh" for English); contains in part 6 (articles 736 to 757) some additional copyright provisions (not relevant for freedom of panorama). In case of discrepancies between the Civil Code and the IP law, the IP law prevails (article 5 of the IP law).
Please do not use this template to any new uploads after 1 January 2023. The Vietnamese Copyright Act as amended in 2022 prohibits the photography of architecture and artistic works in public spaces for commercial purposes after 1 January 2023, so any new uploads as well as re-uploaded images (like cropped or edited ones) are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons: these will be deleted.
The person who associated a work with this deed has dedicated the work to the public domain by waiving all of their rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.
