Entering Vietnam

Foreign nationals may enter the country through various land checkpoints, airports and seaports all over the country. The most direct way to get to the conference venue is to fly using commercial airline to Tan Son Nhat International Airport (IATA code: SGN). It is a well-connected airport servicing many major carriers from all over the world.

Currently, citizens from many countries may enter Vietnam for tourism purposes using visa-on-arrival although some visitors are still required to apply for a visa from their own country.

We strongly advise participants to check visa requirements related to visitors from your country before making travel arrangements. For more accurate information please contact the Vietnamese embassy/consulate in your home country.
