TL;DR
Vietnam introduced a mandatory electronic arrival card from June 22, 2026. Visa-exempt travelers should select the standard visa exemption option when the form asks for visa details.
As of June 23, 2026, the arrival card is being checked at entry into Nha Trang — it is not a rumor. The form has been mandatory since June 22.
Even if you are traveling visa-free, the arrival card form still asks for visa information. In this case, select the 'standard visa exemption' option — this is the correct choice for visa-exempt travelers.
Some travelers arriving on June 22–23 reported that the arrival card was not checked at Nha Trang entry. Enforcement may vary by flight and officer, but it is safer to complete the form in advance.
