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.
