The U.S. Embassy in Hanoi has reminded American citizens to complete a declaration form before arriving at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, in line with a new regulation that took effect in mid-April.
To complete the declaration, the embassy instructed its citizens to access the form available online at: as early as three days prior to their arrival date.

Starting from April 15, Vietnam’s Department of Immigration has implemented pre-entry information declarations for international arrivals at the country’s busiest airport to reduce immigration processing time.
Vietnamese passport holders and transit passengers are exempt from the requirement.
Those who fail to complete the declaration in advance may face longer processing times at immigration checkpoints, the department warns.
U.S. was one of Vietnam’s 10 largest tourism markets in the first quarter of this year, with 302,000 arrivals, marking a 17% increase.
