Lao Nationality
It refers to the close political and legal relationship between individuals and the Lao PDR state, which expresses the rights and obligations of Lao citizens to the Lao PDR, the rights and responsibilities of the Lao PDR State to Lao citizens (the Law on Lao Nationality No.05/NA, dated 17 May 2004, article 2: Lao Nationality).
The nationality of a person is to be recorded according to the interviewee's statement as to what nationality he/she is. The nationality code is on the back of the questionnaire. If it is a Lao citizen, highlight in black the boxes of code 1. If not, you must put the country code. Generally, the country code must be 2 digits. For countries that consist of only one code, write 0 on the front. For example, for the United States of America, write 01, according to the country code set on the back of the questionnaire. For those who are not Lao citizens, skip to question 9.
Note: For those who do not know their nationality, enter code 99.
