Vietnam to Require Mandatory Health Declarations for International Travellers from July 1

Starting July 1, 2026, Vietnam will require all inbound, outbound, and transit travellers to submit health declarations under new regulations aimed at strengthening disease prevention and border health.

🩺 Key points travellers should know:

• Health declarations will be mandatory for travellers entering, leaving, or transiting through Vietnam when required by the Ministry of Health.

• Forms can be completed online or on paper and will be available in both Vietnamese and English.

• Travellers must submit their health declaration within 7 days before their trip.

• Depending on the disease situation, authorities may also request proof of vaccination or other preventive health documents. Take a copy of your Australian Immunisation Statement with you.

• Health quarantine officers will conduct health monitoring at border gates, including temperature screening and observation for signs of infectious diseases.

If a traveller is identified as a suspected infectious disease case, authorities may conduct additional inspections, including travel history reviews and health interviews.

The Ministry of Health will determine when health declarations are required based on global disease developments and the risk of transmission into Vietnam.

✈️ If you're planning to visit Vietnam after July 1, make sure to check the latest entry requirements before travelling.

A few questions on Hantavirus this week… 🐀

There have been no confirmed human cases of hantavirus infection recorded in Australia, making it the only inhabited continent without reported cases. While the virus has not been found in Australian humans, related antibodies have been detected in some wild rodents, suggesting it may exist at low levels.

Big news for older Aussies 👇

From 15 May, eligible Australians can get a FREE RSV vaccine to help protect against a common virus that can cause serious illness.

💉 Who can get it?
