Pay a deposit for tours or services only through an established travel agency and obtain a receipt. Avoid sending advance payment to a private individual without formal documentation.

Do not assume that items offered by informal sellers are legal for visitors. E-cigarettes and drugs are high-risk, illegal choices that can result in substantial fines, detention, or removal from Vietnam.

Check your permitted length of stay before travelling and do not overstay. Staying beyond the visa or entry allowance can bring fines and removal from the country.

Do not take local work without proper legal authorization. Unauthorized employment can lead to major fines and deportation, even if the job is offered locally.

Make sure you hold the licence required to drive locally; driving without it is flagged as an offence with potentially serious consequences. Do not rent a vehicle if your documents do not meet the requirements.
