PRE-ARRIVAL DECLARATION AT HO CHI MINH AIRPORT

Effective NOW! Vietnam has introduced a mandatory pre-arrival information declaration for travelers entering via Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

Under this new regulation, foreign nationals and overseas Vietnamese entering with a visa are required to submit personal information prior to arrival. Travellers will receive a QR code upon completion, which must be presented to immigration authorities during entry procedures.

Vietnamese passport holders and transit passengers are exempt from this requirement.

Passengers can complete the declaration in two ways:

✨Online before departure (recommended): https://prearrival.immigration.gov.vn/

✨By scanning a QR code upon arrival at the immigration area

To minimise waiting time and ensure a smoother arrival experience, travellers are strongly encouraged to complete the declaration in advance and keep the QR code readily accessible upon landing.

The introduction of this digital pre-arrival system is part of Vietnam’s broader effort to enhance immigration control efficiency and streamline passenger processing, particularly at one of the country’s busiest international gateways.

For additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the staff at Ornate Travel on [email protected]

Whilst this wonderful experience is no more, there is still so much to see and experience in HaLong Bay! So if you are traveling to the north of Vietnam, keep your commitment to traveling to HaLong Bay and enjoy this most unique area!

Over the past two weeks, the border area has remained calm with no new incidents reported, and discussions between Thailand and Cambodia are continuing in a positive direction. This is an encouraging sign after the recent tensions.

Official government travel advisories have not yet been updated and currently recommend avoiding travel within approximately 50 km of the land border on the Thai side, and within around 80 km of the border in parts of northern and north western Cambodia. They also advise exercising caution around certain border-adjacent islands such as Koh Kood and Koh Mak.
