What do you need for international flights?

International flights are flights from one country to another, such as from Vietnam to another country or vice versa. For these flights, passengers will need to bring:

Airline tickets (paper tickets or e-tickets).

Cash for airport taxes: Some airports charge additional fees, which are usually in the local currency. Therefore, you should prepare cash in advance to avoid having to exchange money at the airport.

Passport: A passport serves as an international identity card.

Visa (entry visa): Depending on the country, you may or may not need a visa. Additionally, if your flight includes a layover in another country's airport, you will also need a transit visa in addition to your visa for that country.

Currently, several countries grant visa-free entry to Vietnamese citizens, including Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Myanmar. Conversely, Vietnam grants visa-free entry to several other countries: Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar, South Korea, Japan, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden.

Each country has its own regulations regarding immigration procedures. Therefore, before traveling abroad, you need to thoroughly research the immigration regulations of that country to bring the appropriate documents.

For children without their own passports, their full name, date of birth, and photograph must be recorded and affixed to the passport of their legal representative, including: biological father, biological mother, adoptive father, adoptive mother, or guardian.
