How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vietnamese visa for this strictly airside connection | not applicable | visa application | No visa is required under the stated mission no-immigration transit rule. The same rule does not cover an itinerary needing entry or replace final-destination permission. |
| Carrier confirmation, passport and onward permission | recommended | visa application | Check onward ticket/boarding, through-checked baggage, single-terminal transit access and final-destination entry requirements. The source does not establish a universal airside passport-validity period. Confirm every actual connection. |
| Separate entry assessment if Immigration clearance is required | conditional | visa application | Use a valid appropriate Vietnam entry visa when the itinerary requires entry. Do not assume an airside exemption covers baggage collection, domestic connection or terminal change. The voluntary Tan Son Nhat PAI pilot is an entry process; a universal airside declaration rule was not established. |

FAQs
Are all documents for Vietnam transit automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
