Vietnamese immigrants
Southeast Asian arrivals
Vietnamese immigrants are people who have moved from Vietnam to settle in another country.
The term most often refers to those who fled Vietnam during and after the Vietnam War, particularly the wave of refugees following Saigon's fall in 1975: Many Vietnamese immigrants arrived as boat people.
Later generations came through family reunification or economic migration.
The phrase emphasizes national origin rather than citizenship status.
