Can I travel to Vietnam for Christmas in 2020?

The borders of VietNam are closed due to the COVID19 pandemic. Non-citizen returns are limited to diplomats and Foreigners of economic importance to VietNam, designated so by the government.

The situation is ‘fluid’.

Contact the Vietnamese Embassy in India Phone: (+91 11) 26 879 868 (vnembassy-newdelhi.mofa.gov.vn).

ALWAYS REMEMBER the possession of a Visa is NOT A GUARANTEE of entry, Immigration officials at the point of entry have the power to vary or even cancel a Visa. (Common to all countries).

Quarantine is determined by the country you are travelling from. They have old Army camps for 2-week quarantine periods. NOT NICE.

Nope. Not going to work. Stay home.

Vietnam suspended most inbound commercial flights on December 1 and imposed other restrictions after detecting community transmission following a several month streak without new reported cases. There are some exceptions for repatriating Vietnamese citizens and for "experts" and business people, with a quarantine requirement. If you fall into those categories, you’d have a sponsor in Vietnam.

Beyond that, the government has recently imposed several such restrictions with short notice as they try to reduce cases to 0 again, so even if you do qualify for entry, I’d be reluctant to go somewhere where you risk being stuck if there are new restrictions.
