[VietSpot Travel Info] Danang Packing List, Starting with the Things Easy to Forget — Arrival Card, E-Cigarette, Travel Plug Adapter

This is travel information from VietSpot. We'll walk you through what to pack for a trip to Da Nang, starting with the items people most often forget.

[The conclusion first] Documents and regulations will trip you up more than your clothes 1) Entry declaration form — fill it out online starting 3 days before arrival. Save the QR code to your phone 2) E-cigarettes — banned in Vietnam. This isn't something to pack, it's something to leave out 3) Plug adapter — mostly unnecessary. Korean chargers plug in as they are    4) Cash and cards — you need both. Markets and small shops are cash-only [Checklist for the day before departure] Things to bring: Passport · Flight ticket and accommodation reservation info (screenshot) · Arrival card QR code · Cash and an international payment card · eSIM or SIM card · Charger and portable battery     · First-aid medicine · Sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses · Swimsuit and sandals · If it's rainy season, a foldable umbrella or thin raincoat Something to leave out · E-cigarette device and liquid cartridges

■ When can I submit the entry declaration form? Starting June 15, 2026, foreigners entering through Da Nang International Airport are required to complete an online pre-arrival entry declaration. Vietnamese passport holders and transit passengers are excluded.

You can submit this from 3 days before your arrival until just before you arrive. If you try to do it too early, while your departure is still far off, it won't be accepted at that time. This is a point where many people who prepare in advance go in a week early and end up leaving empty-handed, so it's a good idea to count the dates carefully beforehand.

The order is: enter information → issue QR code → save (screenshot) on your phone or print it → present it along with your passport during immigration inspection.

The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Vietnam recommends completing your entry declaration and saving the QR code before arrival, as Wi-Fi at Da Nang Airport may be unstable.

Even if you couldn't fill it out in advance, you can do it when you arrive. Still, for the reasons above, it's better to do it beforehand.

■ Can I bring an e-cigarette with me? No, you cannot.

Vietnam prohibits the production, sale, storage, and use of electronic cigarettes. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Overseas Safety Travel service also advises that possessing or bringing them into the country may constitute a violation of the law, so carrying them as personal belongings is also covered. If caught, the device may be confiscated and destroyed, and a fine may be imposed.

Please make sure to leave e-cigarettes and e-liquid out of your packing list. People often forget items tucked into the inner pocket of their carry-on, so double-check once more after you finish packing.

■ Do you need a nose pad?

Most of the time you won't need one. Vietnam uses 220V, and many outlets accept the round 2-pin plug of Korean chargers as-is. However, the shape can vary depending on the accommodation, and the more common issue you'll actually run into is not having enough outlets. Rather than an adapter, a charger with multiple USB ports or a short power strip is more useful.

■ How should I carry money? Many places accept cards, but markets, small shops, and small payments require cash. It's convenient to prepare both cash and an internationally accepted card together. ■ What else should I bring if I go during the rainy season? Pack a foldable umbrella or a thin raincoat, a waterproof pouch, and an extra pair of shoes. It's good to check the forecast once before you leave.

If you only bring sandals, rainy days can be awkward. It's more convenient to have two pairs — one that's okay to get wet and one that stays dry. ■ Is it better to buy medicine in Korea before the trip? Yes. Pack the medicine you usually take with a few extra days' worth beyond your travel dates, and put things like digestive aids, painkillers, anti-diarrheal medicine, and bandages in a small pouch. You can also buy them at a local pharmacy, but it takes time since you have to explain the ingredients and dosage. It's faster to pack your basic medicines from Korea. ■ Are sunscreen and swimwear essential? If you have a lot of outdoor plans like Ba Na Hills, Hoi An, or My Khe Beach, it's better to bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. You can buy them locally too, but sunscreen prices vary a lot. If you're planning to go to the pool or the beach, pack your swimsuit near the top of your suitcase. It's something you'll want to grab right on your first day there. ★ The day before you leave, double-check just these things Passport · Whether you've saved the QR code for your arrival card · Cash and cards · eSIM or SIM card · Charger and portable battery · Any regular medications · Whether you've taken out your e-cigarette You can also prepare your entry declaration form in advance through the VietSpot app. If you take a photo of your passport, your passport information will be filled in automatically, and if you booked your accommodation through VietSpot, the accommodation name and English address will be entered as well.
