How to Fill Out Vietnam's Health Declaration Form (July 2026)

Vietnam has reintroduced its health declaration form for arriving travellers from 1 July 2026. If you're planning a trip, or bringing colleagues, clients, or family over, the form itself is straightforward once you know what each field is asking. The only real hurdle is that it's written in Vietnamese.

This guide walks through every field you're likely to see, with a plain-English translation, so you can fill it in at the airport or border without second-guessing.

A quick note on accuracy: official forms like this can be updated from time to time. We've done our best to keep this guide correct, and even if some wording changes, we hope the fields and translations below still help you through the process smoothly.

A practical tip: save this page or screenshot the lists below before you fly. Airport Wi-Fi can be unreliable, and having the reference offline lets you complete the form at your own pace.

A few things that make entry smoother

• If a form is handed out on the plane, fill it in before you land.
• Keep your passport and accommodation details within easy reach.
• Dates use day/month/year, which is easy to transpose if you're used to month/day.
• Answer the health and travel questions honestly. Giving false information on the declaration can carry penalties.

If your move involves visas, work permits, or longer-term paperwork beyond a single trip, a visa and immigration specialist can handle the details for you.
