Traveling to Vietnam soon? Here's an important update you should know before departure.
Vietnam has introduced a Pre-Arrival Travel Declaration system for international travelers arriving in the country. The declaration must be completed online before arrival through the official Vietnam Immigration portal.
The new system is designed to simplify immigration procedures and improve the collection of traveler information before entry into Vietnam. Travelers are encouraged to complete the declaration in advance to ensure a smooth arrival experience.
Who Needs to Complete It?
The declaration applies to international travelers arriving in Vietnam, whether visiting for tourism, business, family visits, or other purposes.
When Can You Submit the Declaration?
The declaration can only be submitted within a limited period before arrival. Based on the current system, travelers can generally complete the declaration when their arrival date falls within the next few days.
If your arrival date is further in the future, the system may not yet allow submission.
