TL;DR
VAT refunds are processed when departing internationally from Cam Ranh Airport. Have your purchases and receipts checked by Customs before checking baggage, then go to the Tax Refund counter in the international-departures area with your passport, boarding pass and original invoices.
At Cam Ranh Airport, look for VAT refund services only when departing from the international terminal. Have the goods inspected by Customs first, then proceed to the Tax Refund desk.
Keep the purchased goods, original Tax Free receipts, passport and boarding pass in your hand luggage. Customs may need to inspect the items before they are checked in.
Not every receipt qualifies: purchases must be from a participating VAT Refund retailer and include a Tax Free invoice. Vietnam’s scheme generally refunds 85% of the VAT amount after the service fee.
