Travelers flying into Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat International Airport on a visa must now submit an online entry declaration in advance: Travelers receive a QR code to present at immigration. A revised immigration law overhauls how Vietnam manages foreign residency and shares arrival data across government agencies.
Vietnam's e-visa system remains available and, according to its immigration department, has been simplified, with faster processing. New visa categories aimed at foreign experts, high-tech professionals, and major investors have also been introduced. Specific stay lengths and fees vary by nationality; check with the Vietnam Immigration Department or the nearest Vietnamese embassy or consulate before booking.
