From 1 July, foreign travellers entering, leaving, or transiting through Vietnam will be required to submit a health declaration before travel. According
to global immigration services firm Fragomen, "Under the new regulations, travellers must complete a health declaration within seven days prior to their entry, departure, or transit. The Ministry of Health will determine the scope and duration of implementation for certain infectious diseases, based on global disease trends and the risk of importation into Vietnam." Fragomen also stated that travellers "should anticipate possible delays during the initial rollout period as the new requirement is implemented". The platform for submitting this health declaration has not yet been announced, and further implementation details are expected soon. The health declaration form, provided by the Ministry of Health, will be in Vietnamese and English. It was declared in April that for foreign nationals arriving at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, it is mandatory to complete an online declaration form within three days prior to arrival.
