TL;DR
A separate health declaration is not normally required when arriving in Da Nang unless Vietnam introduces temporary public-health controls. For the 45-day visa exemption, carry a valid passport; your airline may also ask for proof of onward travel.
For a 45-day visa-exempt arrival at Da Nang International Airport, a separate health declaration is not normally required. Check the latest Vietnam Immigration Department notices before departure, as health forms could return only as a temporary measure.
Do not confuse an arrival form with visa formalities: for visa-free entry, the key document is a passport valid for at least six months from arrival. An e-visa is needed only if you are not eligible for visa exemption or plan to stay beyond the permitted period.
At check-in for Da Nang, the airline may ask for an onward or return ticket even if immigration does not always request it. Travel insurance is not usually a separate mandatory document for visa-free entry, but a policy covering medical treatment and hospitalization is advisable.
