My wife and I have two bank accounts in Vietnam. One is with Citi which we have chosen to keep open and the other is a CD with VIB Bank. She wants to close out the VIB account during an upcoming visit to Vietnam (while I will sadly be home working ) but as the account is joint, she is fairly certain that she will need a power of attorney to close the account. I have no personal problem with this but I am not sure if a US power of attorney is valid in Vietnam.
Is it simply a matter of getting a certified (red stamp) translation of the document once she arrives in Vietnam or is some other kind of government validation required? Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks in advance.
