Vietnam’s borders are closed to foreign travellers, except in very limited circumstances. There are no regular commercial international flights operating. To curb the transmission of COVID-19, arriving passengers are subject to strict quarantine. Regulations can change suddenly. Strict treatment and quarantine measures are applied for all COVID cases and close contacts. This includes mandatory centralised treatment in a government or centralised quarantine facility. Travel around the country is extremely challenging. Entry, quarantine and social distancing measures implemented vary between provinces and change at short notice. The measures may impact your ability to travel and access essential services. Follow the advice of local authorities. Police and armed forces, in some locations, are enforcing these measures. You could be fined or detained for breaching these rules. The Australian Embassy’s ability to provide consular services would be extremely limited for people taken into central treatment or quarantine. Monitor the Australian Embassy’s social media for major updates.
