What should I do to travel to Vietnam?

First, the visa notice:

According to the Agreement on Mutual Visa Waiver between China and Vietnam on March 1992, Vietnamese citizens holding valid ordinary passports for diplomatic, official and business purposes and their accompanying persons using the same passport are exempt from visas when entering, leaving or transiting Vietnam. The stay period is 30 days. If an extension is needed, an application must be made by the Vietnamese reception unit and handled at the Exit-Entry Administration of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam.

China citizens with valid ordinary passports must apply for visas in advance to enter, leave or transit Vietnam. The Vietnamese Embassy in China and Consulate General in Guangzhou, Nanning, Kunming and Hongkong can issue visas to China citizens. There are two kinds of visas: tourist visa and business visa. China citizens can go to the embassy or consulate in person or entrust a travel company to handle it.

2. Entry notes:

When China citizens enter Vietnam, they need to fill out entry and exit declaration forms in duplicate (in English and Vietnamese) at the port of entry, including entry, customs, animal and plant quarantine, etc. The first copy (white) is kept by the Vietnamese border port, and the second copy (yellow) is kept by the entrants for inspection when leaving the country.

After entering Vietnam, it is generally necessary to declare residence to the public security organ near the place of stay within 48 hours. If you stay in a hotel, the store is responsible for your declaration. Therefore, when passengers check in, they should generally give their passports or other travel documents to the store for safekeeping.

According to the regulations of Vietnam Customs, you must declare if you bring more than 3000 US dollars (20,000 yuan or other equivalent currencies) and more than 300 grams of gold when you enter the country, otherwise the excess will be confiscated by Vietnam Customs when you leave the country. If a domestic delegation visits and the tour fee is carried by a special person, it should be declared when entering the country, or kept separately, otherwise the part exceeding $3,000 when leaving the country will be confiscated by Vietnam Customs. Foreigners can take 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, 250g tobacco and alcohol 1l duty-free when they leave Vietnam.
