What Is the Vietnam Arrival Card?

Vietnam Arrival Card [2025] | Trip.com
The Vietnam Arrival Card, officially now the Digital Pre-Arrival Declaration, is a free entry‑exit document required for all foreign nationals.
As of April 15, 2026, this digital system has replaced the old paper NA1 slips at major air hubs to streamline immigration. It generates a Personal QR Code that officers scan to retrieve your travel data instantly.
Do I Need a Vietnam Arrival Card?

Vietnam Entry and Exit Form (On Arrival Form M3) - Download and ...
All foreign travelers arriving in Vietnam via international airports must complete the digital declaration.
- International Travelers (US, UK, EU, AU, etc.): Mandatory for all air entry, even if you are eligible for Vietnam’s 45-day visa-exemption scheme.
- Indian Citizens: Mandatory for all air arrivals, including visits to Phu Quoc Island (even under the 30-day visa-free policy).
- General Exemptions: Vietnamese citizens, dual citizens using a Vietnamese passport, and airside transit passengers who do not pass through immigration control.
- Mandatory Locations: Currently strictly enforced at Tan Son Nhat (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City. It is highly recommended for Hanoi (HAN) and Da Nang (DAD) to avoid manual paperwork.
When to Complete the Vietnam Arrival Card Online
The digital system has a strict submission window to ensure data is current.
- Submission Window: You can only submit the form within 72 hours (3 days) before your arrival. The portal will not allow you to select dates further in advance.
- Best time to apply: 24–48 hours before your flight.
- Latest recommended time: 4 hours before boarding.
- Last-resort option: QR codes for on-site filing are available at airport terminals, but this adds 30+ minutes to your processing time.

Vietnam Entry Requirements 2026
All air travelers need a valid passport, a completed Digital Arrival Card (QR Code), and an appropriate visa if required.
- Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival with 2 blank pages.

Entry Tips to Vietnam
After landing, follow this streamlined process to clear immigration, collect baggage, and pass through customs quickly, with practical tips to avoid hold‑ups.
- Immigration Check: Present your passport, e-Visa (if applicable), and Digital QR Code. The officer will scan the QR code to process your entry.
- Baggage & Customs: Collect luggage and use the Green Channel if you have nothing to declare.
- Travel Tip: Keep an offline copy of your QR code. Airport Wi-Fi can be unreliable, and you cannot clear the line at SGN without the code being scanned.
Travel Tips to Vietnam
- Keep both digital and printed copies of all documents to avoid phone/device issues
- Avoid peak arrival hours (19:00–23:00) to reduce immigration queue times
- Be prepared to show accommodation proof if asked by immigration staff
- Drones, illegal substances, and excess tobacco/alcohol are strictly prohibited
Vietnam Arrival Card Rules for Indian Citizens (2026 Rules)
Indian nationals have specific requirements to ensure a smooth holiday:
- Mainland Entry: Indian passport holders must have a pre-approved e-Visa for mainland Vietnam. The e-Visa is now valid for 90 days (Single entry approx. ₹2,100 / Multiple entry approx. ₹4,200).
- Phu Quoc Exemption: Indians can visit Phu Quoc Island visa-free for 30 days, provided they arrive via an international flight or transit through a Vietnamese airport without leaving the transit area. However, the Digital Arrival QR Code is still mandatory.
- Documents: Ensure your passport is valid for 6 months beyond your arrival date.
- Sticker Visas: While e-Visas are the standard, Indian citizens can still apply for sticker visas at the Vietnamese Embassy in New Delhi or Consulate in Mumbai for business or long-term stays.

5 stars! Very close to the airport, less than a 10-minute drive. From the moment you get out of the car, you don't even have to push your own luggage. All the staff speak English. They have a hotel app that lets you unlock your room and order room service easily—super convenient for introverts. Great price, too, and all amenities are fully provided.
The only downside is that there was some dust on the glass shelves, and the glass door in the bathroom had some smudges/water marks that weren't wiped completely clean. You wouldn't notice unless you look closely, but unfortunately, I did haha.FromAU$106

We stayed here during our trip to Vietnam for my father's birthday. It was his first time in Vietnam, and he had a very comfortable stay. Our whole family had a wonderful time. We are grateful for the warm hospitality of all the staff.
They even surprised my father with a cake for his birthday, which made for a truly special memory. He was absolutely delighted.
We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, with Vietnamese dishes like pho and banh mi. It was very satisfying.
Overall, we had a comfortable stay and it's a wonderful hotel that we would definitely like to visit again. Thank you very much.FromAU$150

The overall experience at the Windsor Plaza Hotel was good. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was professional and attentive. The dining and facilities met star-rated standards. I didn't find any significant shortcomings during my stay, and I was generally satisfied and at ease. Recommendation: ★★★★☆. I suggest maintaining the quality of service. Overall, the hotel is a bit older, which is understandable, but at this price, there are essentially no alternatives. When traveling for business, all you need is cleanliness and peace of mind, and that's enough.FromAU$106

The hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, promptly addressing my concerns. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a fantastic view. Although the hotel has a long history, the bedrooms were surprisingly clean. I was pleased to find a variety of pillow options to choose from. However, the bed was a disappointment, being too soft and lacking sufficient support. On a positive note, the breakfast spread was impressive, with a wide range of options and excellent food.FromAU$196

The hotel is beautiful with a unique decor style, and the staff are warm and friendly. The rooftop bar is perfect for relaxing in the evening, and the pool and gym are also excellent. The hotel's breakfast is distinctive and delicious. I highly recommend Mai House Saigon Hotel to tourists visiting Saigon! The hotel's location is ideal for sightseeing, as most of Saigon's attractions are within walking distance.FromAU$225

You can walk to District 1, the church, and the Independence Palace from here. Great value for money.FromAU$107

A luxurious interior steeped in history. An excellent location for sightseeing. The breakfast is delicious too. It's almost a perfect hotel. The plumbing is a bit subpar, but it's an old building, so it's understandable. At first, there was a problem with the sink's drainage, but when I told the front desk, they fixed it immediately. Any equipment malfunctions are compensated for by the staff's prompt response! I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Ho Chi Minh City!FromAU$184

I stayed for five nights, and the hotel environment was quite good, meeting my expectations for a five-star international chain. Every time I entered or exited, the staff would always help open the main door and car door. It's not in a particularly bustling or noisy area, but it's not far to get to various places by taxi. The hotel's food is excellent; the breakfast buffet on the second floor is very rich. While the lounge's afternoon tea and happy hour don't offer a vast selection, they are refined. A common highlight is the excellent service from all the staff. It's especially suitable for business travelers. The only drawback is that the gym equipment is old and limited.FromAU$268

A hidden gem with outstanding service and unique charm! Staying at The Myst Dong Khoi was an incredible experience. The quality of the service is top-notch: the staff is warm, smiling, and always ready to help with genuine care. The hotel itself is a masterpiece—full of local character, beautiful wooden details, and lush greenery that makes it feel like a peaceful oasis right in the city center. Plus, the location is unbeatable, situated right in District 1 close to everything you need and tucked away just behind the major landmarks. Highly recommended!FromAU$265

8.7/10Very Good729 Reviews
Ho Chi Minh City Centre Ho Chi Minh City|0.95km from city centre
This is a hotel of contradictions.
The facade is impressive. It's centrally located in District 1 near restaurants, shops and the Western quarter. The buffet breakfast selection is pleasing. The room size is generous. Staff are friendly and helpful. There's a forward thinking eco-friendly policy which clearly implemented throughout the hotel.
However, the hotel is let down by some of its facilities. For example, in the bathroom a spa has been placed under a shower head so that when you shower the water runs down the wall and floods across the bathroom floor from one side to the other and in front of the hand basin. The hot and cold water taps turn on in opposite directions and the cold tap is not fitted properly which causes it to move. My children were unable to turn the shower on or off without adult help. The shower head is also too low and my 6 foot husband had to crouch down to shower.
Another problem area is the rooftop pool area. The clear rooptop pool perimeter fence is woefully too low. I watched a child climb out of the pool to the ledge between the pool and the perimeter fence and I was very worried for his safety. One wrong slip or stumble and there's nothing stopping the child from toppling over the edge and 11 floors down.
This hotel has a lot going for it but also has further room for improvement.FromAU$62

This isn't my first stay at this hotel chain, and as always, the staff provides excellent value for money. The breakfast selection at this Ho Chi Minh City branch is also very convenient. The only downsides are the noise due to its proximity to the Japanese Quarter and the slightly small hot spring bath. However, the overall stay was excellent 👍FromAU$77

Ho Chi Minh City|2.03km from city centre
This place is hard to find even to some locals, and its especially hard for foreigners to come by for the first time. It's a newly building with security at the lobby, and there are shops and restaurants near by which is convenient. However; there is hardly a management of this property, we booked for 4days 3 nights and there were only 4 bottles in total and we had no respond when we required for more water bottles.(good thing is shops are close by.) Secondly, we also had no respond when we requied of house cleaning, we found and killed Cockroaches everyday. Last but not least, the third night of stay hot water running out, I had to take a cold shower. I don't mind taking cold showers in Vietnam's current weather, its just i didnt have an option of hot water makes this stay less worthy.
There are also some pros of this property, the views are good, you get to see the landmark 81 building right outside the window, and some parts of river view. Besides the views, they use good quality bedding appliances (mattresses are great) and electrical appliances(dryer in your closet, you get to hang your wet clothes, sanitize and dry them).
Overall, I would come back and live here if the management can starting to catch up.FromAU$180

Ho Chi Minh City|96.12km from city centre
This hotel is perfect for just lying around, relaxing, and doing absolutely nothing.
We stayed in the Aqua Villa. The room was excellent – clean, beautiful, and comfortable.
The private in-room pool had rather warm, even hot, mineral water. The downside was that over the week, the pool was only cleaned once, on the first day. A lot of leaves and flowers fall into the pool.
Breakfasts were excellent.
On weekdays, the hotel was almost empty. It only got busier on weekends.
The grounds are very large and beautiful.
Mineral pools, mud baths, etc., all cost extra! The only free amenities are the general pools (several of them) and the forest for walks.
There's only one restaurant. There are no shops or anything else. You can't rent a motorbike anywhere.
Grab, Maxim, and similar services don't operate here.
You can only get to Binh Chau by taxi – 300,000 VND round trip.
There's absolutely nothing to do in Binh Chau. And everyone stares at Russians like they're some exotic creature. Everyone wants to come up and say 'Hallow'.
Conclusion: If you just want to relax in peace and quiet, do nothing, simply unwind and benefit from the mineral pools and mud baths, this is an excellent option!
If you're looking for hustle and bustle with lots of restaurants, shops, and tourists – this is definitely not the place for you!
It's an excellent option to just relax here for a week, and then head to Mui Ne (a 2-hour taxi ride).FromAU$80

Ho Chi Minh City|82.73km from city centre
The quality and price were pretty much as expected, but some minor details could use improvement. For instance, the room's floor wasn't very clean; my feet got dirty quickly after walking barefoot.
The morning yoga class was great!
Also, it's worth noting that this place is quite far from Vung Tau (over an hour's drive), so it's best for a relaxing stay where you don't plan on leaving the hotel much. Getting to Vung Tau city center can be a bit of a hassle. It mainly attracts Vietnamese locals on holiday, along with some European, American, and Korean tourists. If you're looking to explore Vung Tau city, this location isn't convenient.
Overall, it's a good spot for a laid-back, do-nothing vacation.FromAU$164

Le Thanh Ton Ho Chi Minh City|1.11km from city centre
On my first night, I checked in quite late and was assigned a low-floor room with a large machine outside the window, which really dampened my mood. I went to the front desk, and they said the hotel was fully booked and asked me to pack up my luggage and switch rooms the next morning. The next morning, I pulled my luggage to the front desk and made my request again. They immediately gave me a room, and wow, it had a river view! My mood instantly improved. I understand there was nothing they could do since I checked in so late and the rooms were full, but the hotel promptly met my request for a room change the next day, and I am extremely, extremely satisfied!!!
In front of the hotel, there's a popular cafe, and behind it is Japan Street (half Japanese, half Korean), with tons of restaurants, spas, and convenience stores – super convenient.
The room was clean, and the drinks in the fridge were also complimentary.FromAU$92

My third time at this hotel. Very convenient because of the location, the reception staff are very pleasant and happy to help you. The breakfast is very boring. Cheap ingredients. And the room is too small for the number of guests even though they added a room. Going down the stairs is not the most convenient. And the service lacks character, the cook does a great job and always fills in what is missing. You can see that he is professional and experienced. And he is also very friendly. But we took sandwiches for the long train ride and I must say that this was the biggest disappointment. Because I did not take a sandwich down to the kitchen for myself, because to get a sandwich from the dining room I am supposed to pay extra. Although only a few dollars, the principle is completely stupid. The sandwich I received was terrible, dry, boring, made from two slices of cheap bread, a kind of cheese leaf and a hard-boiled egg. Something really inedible. Bread that chokes you. I prefer nothing to this free nothing.FromAU$71

A Truly Memorable Stay
I had a wonderful stay at Liberty Central Saigon Citypoint during my birthday trip to Ho Chi Minh City. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, attentive and professional. The housekeeping, bell boys, concierge and front desk team were all excellent and made me feel genuinely welcomed throughout my stay.
What touched me most was the thoughtful birthday surprise. 🎂❤️ I was pleasantly surprised when the hotel presented me with a birthday cake during my stay. I truly did not expect it, and although it may seem like a small gesture, it honestly made my day. I really appreciated the effort and thoughtfulness behind it.
The location is also fantastic very central and within walking distance to major shopping destinations such as Takashimaya and Saigon Centre, making it incredibly convenient for shopping, dining and exploring the city. KKV just next door and cinema within the hotel premises.
Overall, this was such a lovely and memorable stay. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday trip even more special. Your warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made a difference. ❤️

The environment is great, and the hotel's rooftop bar is definitely a must-visit! Everyone there was so relaxed and happy. ❤️
The breakfast was delicious. Although the variety was a bit limited, it tasted really good. There's even a special station for pho.FromAU$303

Ho Chi Minh City|1.58km from city centre
Great location with easy access to the Pink Church and other main attractions. The room and bed were spacious, although the facilities and decor felt a little dated.
The highlight was definitely the amazing view — it really reminded me of a “mini MBS” in Singapore! The breakfast also had a good variety of choices.
Overall, good value for money, especially for the view.FromAU$138

Nguyen Hue Walking Street Ho Chi Minh City|1.12km from city centre
A quaint and cosy hotel in a good location, walking distance to Saigon Centre, Saigon Square, Ben Thanh Market, Bookstreet and Vincom Centre. Room is spacious but can have more lighting. Sound proofing is not very good as we can hear an elderly couple quarreling on our 2nd night at a building rooftop near the hotel. Made a remark in my booking on our wedding anniversary and hotel made the effort to design the bed. There were issues with the aircon before we checked in and we were offered drinks on their 10th floor cafe (which served hi-tea for guest daily). Hotel breakfast spread is good, mix of local food and intercontinental breakfast. Overall good for the location and breakfast selection.FromAU$148

Ho Chi Minh City Centre Ho Chi Minh City|1.2km from city centre
The hotel is located in a less touristy and neighborhood area. Location is not at Ben thanh market that side and it's the other side where you need to cross a very long traffic light to reach there. It's also quite near to Saigon centre and Saigon Square. The hotel atmosphere is good the room is clean, breakfast was served on the 10th floor with a very nice view.FromAU$105

Ho Chi Minh City|1.31km from city centre
This place is at the outskirt of district one so it's quieter. Also has some very good restaurants nearby that is less than 10 mins walk. Property is maintained well, there is a small cafe next to the pool that serves breakfast, they have an in house menu for ordering. We booked a 3 bedroom and the space was great. We also had a washer dryer in the apt which was great. Amenities for toilet was rather limited - the soap and shampoo, handwash, towels. If you need anything else will need to call and request for it. Kitchen has oven, microwave, stove and fridge as well as cutleries if one decides to cook. We used it to heat up leftovers for breakfast so it works well. There is an on-site supermarket so it's convenient. A small space for gym that has most common machines. Swimming pool is also ok for doing laps. Pillows were a tad too soft but overall comfortable stay.FromAU$158

Le Thanh Ton Ho Chi Minh City|0.8km from city centre
A NT$3000-a-night hotel, which includes breakfast (buffet style with an egg station chef), a pool, gym, sauna, and complimentary laundry service (with a laundry room). The hotel itself is quite beautiful overall. It's a shame that the rooms with windows don't have a bathtub; it would have been absolutely perfect if they did! I'd love to come back again if I have the chance.FromAU$100
FAQs about Vietnam Arrival Card
-
Is there an Arrival Card to enter Vietnam?
Yes. As of April 15, 2026, Vietnam has transitioned to a Digital Pre-Arrival Declaration. It is currently mandatory for all foreign travelers arriving at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City and is being phased in at other major airports like Hanoi and Da Nang. -
Do I need to fill an Arrival Card for India?
No. The card is for entering Vietnam. However, all Indian citizens (and other foreign nationals) flying into Vietnam must complete this digital form before they can clear Vietnamese immigration. -
Can Indians get a Vietnam visa on arrival?
Yes, but the e-Visa is now the preferred and most efficient method. If you choose Visa on Arrival (VoA), you must still obtain an "Approval Letter" from an agency before flying. Upon arrival, you will use the Digital Arrival QR Code to speed up your path to the VoA counter, where you will pay the stamping fee ($25 for single entry). -
What documents do I need to travel to Vietnam from India?
To ensure a smooth entry in 2026, you need:
Valid Passport: At least 6 months validity from your date of arrival.
Vietnam e-Visa: (Or a Visa Approval Letter).
Digital Arrival QR Code: Obtained from prearrival.immigration.gov.vn.
Proof of Accommodation: A specific hotel address and phone number.
Return/Onward Ticket: Often requested by airline check-in staff or immigration. -
Do Indians need visas for Vietnam? What is the cost?
Yes, Indian citizens require a visa for mainland Vietnam.
Single-entry e-Visa (90 days): $25 (approx. ₹2,100)
Multiple-entry e-Visa (90 days): $50 (approx. ₹4,200)
Phu Quoc Island: No visa is required if you stay only on Phu Quoc for up to 30 days and arrive via an international flight.
Note: You still must complete the Digital Arrival Card. -
Do children need a separate Arrival Card?
Yes. Every traveler, including infants and minors, must have their own individual Digital Arrival QR Code linked to their specific passport number. Parents can fill out the form on behalf of their children during the online process. -
How long is the Vietnam Arrival Card valid?
The timing is now very specific. You can only submit the digital form within 72 hours (3 days) of your scheduled arrival. The system will not accept applications submitted earlier than this window. Once submitted, the QR code is valid for your specific arrival date and flight.
