From 15 April 2026, to help streamline and speed up the immigration process, foreign travellers and overseas Vietnamese entering Vietnam via Tan Son Nhat Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) are required to complete a pre-arrival declaration.

Who it applies to:
• Foreign passport holders entering at Tan Son Nhat Airport (Ho Chi Minh City)
• Overseas Vietnamese travelling on a visa

Who it doesn’t apply to:
• Vietnamese passport holders
• Transit passengers

What to do:
Complete your declaration via:
prearrival.immigration.gov.vn/

Alternatively, scan the QR code at immigration on arrival.

Our recommendation:
Complete this shortly before departure to ensure a smooth arrival experience.

Note:
• The declaration can only be completed within 2 days prior to arrival
• Currently applicable for Ho Chi Minh City only
• As this is a new government implementation, procedures are not yet fully consistent while system is being tested.
