 Ratings

 (0)

### ⚠️ Important update for travelers arriving at Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN)

## Vietnam's **Digital Pre-Arrival Information** system is now used for eligible travelers arriving in Vietnam. The declaration is submitted online through the official Vietnam Immigration Department portal before arrival.

👉 [Official Vietnam Pre-Arrival Information form](https://prearrival.immigration.gov.vn/?tick=607e2410&utm_source=chatgpt.com)

**Do you need to complete the Vietnam Arrival Card?**

If you are required to submit the Digital Pre-Arrival Information, complete the form before your arrival in Vietnam. The official system asks travelers to provide their information in advance and keep the confirmation available for the immigration process.

**Important:** Completing the form in advance does **not guarantee that you will avoid immigration queues**. At busy times, Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN) can still be crowded.

If you encounter problems such as a **“Passport Blacklist” error, QR code not being generated, or problems selecting your accommodation**, see our step-by-step guide:

👉 **Vietnam QR Code & Blacklist Error Fix**

### What you should do before your flight

- Complete the pre-arrival form before traveling.
- Check that your passport and travel information are entered correctly.
- Keep the confirmation or QR code accessible on your phone.
- Allow enough time for immigration, especially during busy arrival periods.

**Want to spend less time waiting at SGN?**

Vietnam CK **Fast Track** service provides arrival assistance at Tan Son Nhat Airport and can be particularly useful during busy periods.

| **Airport** | **Arrival Card** |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ho Chi Minh City | ✅ Required |  |  |
| Hanoi | ✅ Required |  |  |
| Da Nang | ✅ Required |  |  |
| Phu Quoc | ✅ Required |  |  |

### QR Pre-Arrival Form + Fast Track service

Combining the pre-arrival form with Fast Track can make your arrival at SGN smoother, particularly during busy periods.

### What Changed at Tan Son Nhat Airport in 2026?

Tan Son Nhat Airport (SGN) uses Vietnam's digital pre-arrival system for eligible international travelers.

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. That way, you have your information ready before the flight and don't have to deal with the form while waiting at immigration.

### How to Complete the QR Pre-Arrival Form

The easiest option is to complete the declaration **before your flight to Vietnam**. 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.

![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. An [**Vietnam eSIM before departure**](https://www.vietnamck.cz/en/pages/blog/vietnam-esim-data-plans) can give you internet access immediately after arrival, so you can access your QR confirmation and contact your driver or airport assistance if needed.

### Pro Travel Tip: Combine This with Fast Track at SGN

Completing the pre-arrival declaration does not mean you can skip the immigration queue. It simply means that your required information is submitted before arrival.

If you want to get through Tan Son Nhat Airport more quickly, you can combine the pre-arrival form with our [Vietnam CK Fast Track service](https://www.vietnamck.cz/en/vietnam-visa/fast-track-service).

**Our Fast Track service provides:**

- airport meet & greet
- assistance with the immigration process
- access to priority immigration procedures where available
- faster exit from the airport
- assistance with your onward transfer

**This can be particularly useful if you:**

- travel with children or older family members
- arrive during busy evening periods
- land during holidays or other peak travel times
- have a driver waiting outside the airport
- simply want to spend less time dealing with airport formalities after a long flight

**The simple combination is:**

Complete the QR pre-arrival form before your flight → arrive at SGN → meet our Fast Track staff → continue to your hotel.

 Vietnam CK crafted an itinerary that felt written just for us. Our private guide knew exactly when to slow down — the lantern-lit alleyways of Hội An, the misty mountains near Sapa. It wasn't a trip. It was a **magical experience** we'll carry forever.

 There were eight of us with very different interests — foodies, hikers, history lovers. Vietnam CK satisfied everyone. **The logistics were flawless**: transfers on time, hotels perfectly located, no wasted hours. I've travelled a lot, but that level of organisation was something else.

 As a travel photographer I had very specific requirements — golden hour locations, off-the-beaten-track villages, flexible timing. Vietnam CK went further. Our guide had local contacts no agency knows about. A quick **WhatsApp message** always got a reply within minutes.

 We combined Vietnam with Cambodia and feared it would feel rushed. Not at all. Every transition was smooth, every destination had room to breathe. The **personal touch** stood out — the team remembered our anniversary and a surprise was waiting in Siem Reap. Truly thoughtful travel.

###  Do I need a printed copy of the confirmation, or is a mobile version enough?

A mobile version is sufficient. **Keep the confirmation email or QR code ready** on your phone to show immigration officers. Printing is optional but can be useful as a backup.

**Yes.** Each traveler, including minors, must have a completed QR Pre‑Arrival Form linked to their passport details.
