Effective Date
The new health declaration requirement will take effect from July 1, 2026.
Travelers should complete the health declaration within 7 days before entering, departing from, or transiting through Vietnam.
Travel requirements may change depending on the public health situation, so visitors should check the latest official updates before departure.
How to Submit the Health Declaration
Travelers should complete the required health declaration within 7 days before entering, departing from, or transiting through Vietnam, following the official instructions at the time of travel.
For pre-arrival information submission, visitors can refer to the official Immigration Department portal: https://Prearrival.immigration.gov.vn
Before completing the form, travelers should prepare passport details, flight information, accommodation address, and basic health information.
