How we keep information accurate.
Monitor official sources
We continuously track prearrival.immigration.gov.vn and the Vietnam Immigration Department for any unannounced changes to requirements or the portal interface.
Verify before publishing
Every piece of information is strictly cross-referenced against Vietnamese administrative law and official embassy announcements before it reaches our website.
Monthly review
We conduct comprehensive monthly audits of all guides. The "Last updated" date on each page reflects the most recent verification against official sources.
Why we built this service.
The official government portal (prearrival.immigration.gov.vn) is functional but highly confusing for first-time users unfamiliar with Vietnamese government systems. Flight code dropdowns, confusing visa type categories, and strict accommodation address fields are the most common sources of errors — errors that cause real problems at the airport.
vietnamprearrival.com was built to prevent those problems. Every guide on this site is written and personally verified by Quỳnh Đỗ against official government sources.
Referral disclosure: This site earns revenue through a referral fee when users apply via our partner application portal. This funds the free information service. We disclose this openly. We are not the Vietnamese government and are not affiliated with the Vietnam Immigration Department.
Official portal: The Vietnam Pre-Arrival Declaration Form is free to submit at prearrival.immigration.gov.vn. Our service is for those who prefer a guided walkthrough and expert review before submission.
