Vietnam Introduces Medical Declarations at Border - New Requirements from July 1, 2026

Vietnam to require medical declaration forms for all border crossings effective July 1, 2026, covering entry, exit, and transit.

Starting July 1, 2026, Vietnam implements new sanitary and quarantine control regulations. Travelers entering, exiting, or transiting Vietnam must complete a medical declaration form. The declaration covers passport data, travel route, health status, vaccination information, and potential contact with infectious diseases. The form can be submitted electronically or on paper within 7 days before border crossing. This applies to all official border checkpoints (airports, land borders, seaports). Medical documentation is not mandatory unless specifically required by Vietnam's Ministry of Health for specific epidemiological situations. Visa runs are also subject to this requirement.
