As from 00:00 on March 18, those who are exempt from visa or possess visa
exemption certificates for overseas Vietnamese and their family members, and
some other special cases (specialists, business managers and skilled workers)
are required to have certificates of testing negative to SARS-CoV-2 issued by an
authorized agency and accepted by Vietnam in order to enter Vietnam.
The requirement is not applicable for those who enter Vietnam for diplomatic or
business purposes.
All people entering the country must undergo medical checks and follow epidemic
preventive measures as required.
Besides cases of arrivals already subject to concentrated quarantine, people
arriving from the US, European and ASEAN countries are now also required to be
quarantined in concentrated facilities; and those who are not subject to
concentrated quarantine must be self-quarantined and put under medical
monitoring at their houses, enterprises and accommodations or in groups.
Vietnam has informed this decision to diplomatic representative missions,
consular offices, and representative offices of international organisations in
Vietnam. The country will continue to keep a close watch of the situation and
coordinate with other countries and international organisations and partners to
timely adjust epidemic prevention measures for the highest goal of protecting
the health and safety of Vietnamese people and foreign citizens in Vietnam.
