Travel Documents

It is every passenger's sole responsibility to ensure that they have valid travel documentation available for presentation which meets the requirements of Vietnam Airline, Immigration and other governmental authorities at every entry and exit point. To avoid putting your trip at risk, view the specific requirements you may need for your journey.

Passenger Ticket:

Passenger ticket is an important part, presenting the contract of carriage between the airlines and the passenger. Also, it is required for check-in and immigration purposes, please keep your ticket(s) throughout the journey. Please check it carefully to ensure that your first and last names appear exactly as they do on your passport. You are required to have a valid airline ticket to travel. Ensure that you are aware of the conditions of the fare you have purchased and the applicable carrier's and the conditions of carriage. Depending on your purchasing method, you will most likely receive electronic tickets (E-tickets) for your flights.

For e-ticket, you will be issued with an itinerary receipt which you should carry with you at all times.

For paper ticket, passenger must have your own ticket(s) with the valid flight coupon for a specific flight.

Passport:

Your passport remains the best internationally-accepted evidence of your citizenship. All passengers need a valid passport for international travel, regardless of the destination, but as some countries require certain length remaining on the passport, you should check with the consulates of all the countries you are planning to visit prior to your departure, as you may be refused entry if you do not comply.

For entering Vietnam, your passport must be valid for at least six months since the date of entrance. Expired or damaged passports will not be accepted for any flight. Failure to present valid passports matching the names on your reservation will result in you being refused carriage. If you do not have a valid passport, we strongly recommend that you apply for a new one well in advance of travel plans.

Furthermore, the number of pages you will need varies according to the options you have selected, but generally 6 pages preferable if your trip covers all three countries Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. If you intend to entry Vietnam, your passport should have 2 blank pages for visa stamped. Forms of Identifications:
