You can submit your information through the **official Vietnam Immigration Department portal before your trip**: 👉 [**Pre-arrival Information Submission for Visitors**](https://prearrival.immigration.gov.vn/) Completing the form before departure is the easiest option because you can enter your details when you have your **passport, flight information and accommodation details** available. If you are unsure whether the requirement applies to you, always check the latest instructions on the official immigration portal before traveling. ### Who needs to complete the form? The requirement can depend on your **nationality, immigration status and arrival airport**. Vietnamese citizens do not need to complete the foreign-traveler arrival declaration. If you are traveling in transit or have a specific immigration status, check the current official requirements before your trip. If you have already completed the form but encounter an error, such as a **“Passport Blacklist” message or problems generating the QR code**, see our detailed guide to [**Vietnam QR Code & Blacklist Errors**](https://www.vietnamck.cz/en/pages/blog/vietnam-pre-arrival-form-error-fix). **Tip:** Complete the form before leaving for the airport.

This gives you time to enter your passport, flight and accommodation details without having to do it after landing. If you are still waiting for your Vietnam visa, you can use our [**Urgent Vietnam eVisa service**](https://www.vietnamck.cz/en/vietnam-visa/urgent-vietnam-visa) for expedited visa processing. ### Step-by-step ### Option A — Complete the form online before departure (recommended) 1. Open the [**official Vietnam Pre-Arrival Information form**](https://prearrival.immigration.gov.vn/). 2. Enter your personal and travel information, including: - full name - passport number - nationality - flight information - accommodation or address in Vietnam 3. Check your details carefully. 4. Submit the form. 5. Keep the confirmation or QR code available on your phone. ### Option B — Complete the process after arrival If you have not completed the form before your flight, follow the instructions and QR code information provided at the airport. At **Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN)**, completing the process after landing can be less convenient during busy arrival periods, when many passengers are arriving at the same time. **Our recommendation:** Complete the form before departure whenever possible. It takes only a few minutes and means one less thing to deal with after a long flight. ![QR pre-arrival declaration form on mobile phone](https://res.cloudinary.com/joomshaper/image/upload/v1582107175/placeholder.svg "QR pre-arrival declaration form on mobile phone") ![Long immigration queues at SGN airport](https://res.cloudinary.com/joomshaper/image/upload/v1582107175/placeholder.svg "Long immigration queues at SGN airport") ### Why You Should Complete It Before Landing The pre-arrival form can make the arrival process easier, but **it does not give you priority at immigration**. Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN) can become very busy when several international flights arrive at the same time. Immigration queues may therefore be longer during **evening arrivals, weekends and holiday periods**. Completing the pre-arrival declaration before your flight means you have one less thing to deal with after landing. **Our recommendation:** complete the declaration **before boarding your flight to Vietnam** and keep the confirmation or QR code easily accessible on your phone. ### What does completing the form in advance help with? - You have your required information ready before arrival - You don't have to deal with the form after a long flight - You can proceed directly to the immigration area - Your arrival is easier to coordinate with airport pickup or **Fast Track assistance** For families with children, older travelers or passengers arriving late in the evening, having everything prepared before landing can make the arrival noticeably smoother. **One more practical tip:** make sure you have mobile internet when you land.
