General Travel Documents & Tips:

• Valid Passport: Ensure a minimum of 6 months validity beyond your intended stay, with at least 2 blank pages for stamps.
• Flight Itinerary: Keep a copy of your flight details readily accessible.
• Accommodation Details: Have the address of your first night’s stay for immigration purposes.
• Emergency Contacts: A list of key contacts, including your embassy/consulate in Vietnam.
• Document Copies: Keep digital and physical copies of all critical documents separate from originals.
• Customs Awareness: Familiarize yourself with Vietnam’s duty-free allowances and declaration requirements.
• Prohibited/Restricted Items: Be aware of items not permitted or requiring special declaration (e.g., narcotics, specific medications, certain electronics).
• Pre-arranged Transportation: Consider booking airport transfers in advance for convenience.

Specific for E-visa / Visa-Free Travelers:

• E-visa Printout: A physical copy of your e-visa approval letter is strongly recommended. Ensure all details precisely match your passport.
• Visa-Free Travelers: Be prepared to show proof of onward or return travel if requested by the immigration officer.

Critical for Visa on Arrival (VOA) Holders:

• Visa Approval Letter: This is mandatory. You MUST have a printed copy to board your flight and to process your visa upon arrival.
• Completed NA1 Form: Download and fill out this Vietnamese visa application form prior to arrival to save time at the VOA counter.
• Passport-Sized Photo (4×6 cm): One recent photo required to be attached to your NA1 form.
• Cash for Stamping Fee: US$25 for single-entry or US$50 for multi-entry. There are NO ATMs in the immediate VOA processing area, so have the exact amount ready in USD or VND.
