TL;DR
In practice, immigration at Cam Ranh (Nha Trang) airport rarely checks the QR code or arrival form, but travelers still recommend filling it out in advance to avoid stress at passport control. The visa-free stay is typically 15 days — you must leave before 23:59 on the last day or you'll be overstaying.
Arrived on a Monday — nobody even asked to see the QR code or arrival form, even though everything was filled out in advance.
A traveler asked whether anything needs to be filled out on arrival for a 9-day trip — QR codes or similar forms.
You must leave Vietnam before 23:59 on the last allowed day (e.g., day 14) — after that it counts as overstay. Flying out on that exact day is usually fine, but crossing the land border by bus on the deadline day can cause complications.
Many travelers still fill out the arrival form and QR code in advance — it's recommended to spend 10 minutes before the trip to avoid stress at passport control, especially for first-time visitors.
