Do you need to fill out an arrival card to enter Vietnam from June 22, 2026?

From messages by 4 participants in 3 sources · Last activity: 14 days ago

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.

What the community said

Travelers who arrived at Cam Ranh Airport on September 21 reported that immigration did not ask for the arrival-card QR code. Their form’s arrival date differed from the actual date, but this caused no issue at entry; they were also unable to amend the submitted card.

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.

Effective date: June 22, 2026

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.

Select: 'standard visa exemption'

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.
