NEW REGULATIONS ON PERSONAL DOCUMENTS WHEN TRAVELING BY AIRPLANE APPLY FROM FEBRUARY 15, 2024

On December 29, 2023, the Ministry of Transport issued Circular No. 42/2023/TT-BGTVT amending and supplementing Circular No. 13/2019/TT-BGTVT and Circular No. 41/2020/TT-BGTVT regarding personal documents when traveling by airplane (Circular 42).

Now, let’s find out the details together with Bizlawyer!

  1. Passengers traveling on international flights need to present one of the following documents: Passport, travel document, or entry document as prescribed by law such as exit visas, residence permits, temporary residence permits, or citizen identity cards (for countries that have agreements with Vietnam allowing the use of citizen identity cards instead of passports). In case of minors without separate passports, their information and photo must be clearly stated on the passport of the representative according to regulations.
  2. Passengers aged 14 and above traveling on domestic flights need to present documents or electronic data with equivalent legal validity. For foreign passengers, a passport or the most recent entry document and residency document in Vietnam are required. For passengers who have lost their passports, a certificate or confirmation letter from the diplomatic agency or local police is required. Vietnamese passengers need to present passports, travel documents, residence permits, identity cards, or citizen identity cards.
  3. Passengers under 14 years old need birth certificates, identity confirmation papers from the police or social organizations, and legal documents of their parents.
  4. Prisoners, defendants, or detainees when traveling by airplane only need documents proving their escort by the competent authority. The documents must be original or electronic copies with legal validity, ensuring they have photos and comply with legal regulations.

Circular 42 takes effect from February 15, 2024.
