Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions About Vietnam

Clear answers on eligibility, processing times, validity, and entry requirements.

What is the Vietnam Pre-Arrival Information (PAI) portal and Electronic Visit Pass (E-Pass)?

Launched by the Vietnam Immigration Department (Ministry of Public Security) in April 2026 at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) and expanding nationwide in June 2026, the PAI portal allows foreign travelers to submit their passport, visa, flight, and accommodation details within 3 days before arrival to receive a QR code and digital Electronic Visit Pass (E-Pass).

Is the Vietnam PAI mandatory for all foreign visitors?

Online completion within 3 days prior to arrival is strongly recommended by the Vietnam Immigration Department to expedite immigration clearance and receive your digital E-Pass, with self-service PAI kiosks available at the airport arrival hall for travelers who did not complete it prior to boarding.

What is 'Form NA2'—is it an arrival card?

No. Form NA2 is a pre-entry visa sponsorship application submitted by an inviting company or organization in Vietnam to request a visa approval letter. It is not an arrival card.

How should I enter my name if my passport only has one name or contains Vietnamese characters?

Unlike Thailand or Singapore, Vietnam's PAI portal makes 'Given Name' required and 'Surname' optional. If you have a single name on your passport, enter it in 'Given Name' and leave 'Surname' blank. Additionally, replace the letter 'Đ/đ' with 'D/d' and use only Latin characters without accents in the address field.

Do I need to complete a Vietnam Customs Declaration?

Most travelers use the Green Channel and do not need a customs form. You only need to complete the paper Vietnam Customs Declaration (Red Channel) if you carry over USD 5,000 (or equivalent) in foreign cash, over VND 15,000,000 in Vietnamese cash, 300g or more of gold, goods exceeding duty-free allowances (>1.5L liquor >=20% ABV, >200 cigarettes), or unaccompanied baggage.

Can NomadicMart guarantee border admission into Vietnam?

No commercial service or private agency can guarantee border admission into Vietnam. Final entry permission rests exclusively with border control and immigration officers at your port of entry. NomadicMart is an independent private application concierge not affiliated with the Government of Vietnam or prearrival.immigration.gov.vn. We verify your declaration data and submit it accurately within the official filing window.
