Tongcheng.com Tips

Things to note when traveling: Passport and valid visa are sufficient. A health quarantine certificate is not a required document. This is the same as going to any European and American country. Remember to declare the camera and video camera you carry with you when exiting customs to avoid unnecessary explanations when entering customs on your return.

Notes on entry into Vietnam: Passport and valid visa required. Vietnam Customs may ask to see the health quarantine certificate, so be prepared in advance. It is worth reminding: When you get your passport back, remember to check whether it has been stamped with an entry border stamp. At the same time, Vietnam Customs must also stamp your entry declaration form.

Before leaving customs, you need to exchange enough Vietnamese dong (many places in Vietnam only use Vietnamese dong and US dollars, and many do not accept RMB) and buy a Vietnamese phone card in China. There are many people who specialize in exchanging tokens at the checkpoint. 1 yuan is about 3,200 Vietnamese dong. The market price may vary a little every day. Chinese phone cards cannot be used when they are exported to Vietnam, unless they are Global Express. So I exchanged currency by buying a Vietnam card so I could make phone calls.

Try not to bring too big items when passing through Vietnam, and try to pack a suitcase that can fit in your suitcase. Otherwise, you may be stopped or even confiscated when passing through the Vietnamese border.

When going through the customs procedures

when passing through the customs, the customs staff will check the passport. If there is no problem, they will stamp it with a customs stamp. The Vietnamese customs requires an entry stamp, and it is the same when you come back. But after passing the Vietnamese customs The staff will often deliberately delay your time, especially some Chinese people who can't

speak Vietnamese and have to go through the customs alone. The purpose is to get a tip, but they won't ask for it explicitly. Especially if you have a lot of luggage and there are road cards outside the checkpoint, you will be asked to tip directly. Along the way, there were many police officers who asked for money when checking cars.

It is best to bring a translator with you when you go to Vietnam, which will save you a lot of troubles along the way. If you have friends in Vietnam who do not need to bring a translator, try to find a Chinese who can speak Vietnamese and often travels in and out of Vietnam when taking the bus. It can save you a lot of trouble. Of course, it is also beneficial for you to check Vietnamese customs and habits online before going abroad.
