Testing and quarantine procedures

Travellers to Vietnam are NO longer required to present a negative COVID-19 test prior to their entry into Vietnam. However, the authorities have urged travellers that in case they show symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, loss of taste, loss of smell, headache, diarrhoea, breathing difficulty) they must notify the health agency at the border gates.

Vietnam has scrapped its quarantine requirements for all arrivals in the country.

Within 10 days from the date of entry, all passengers must self-monitor their health if they have symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection (fever; cough; sore throat; runny nose, stuffy nose; body aches, fatigue, chills; decreased or lost taste; decreased or lost sense of smell; pain, headache; diarrhoea; difficulty breathing; respiratory inflammation) must immediately notify the nearest medical facility for instructions.
