PAI system or NA1 form: what exactly are we talking about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, the \u201cArrival Card\u201d approach actually covers two very distinct documents that should not be confused:
Vietnam Digital Arrival Card (PAI System):<\/strong> This is the new online declaration system, completely free of charge. It combines your flight, passport and accommodation details. At the end of the process, it generates a QR code that the immigration officer will scan when you land.
NA1 form (paper format) :<\/strong> This is the historic yellow entry\/exit document. Today, it only concerns you if you are applying for a Visa On Arrival (VOA)<\/strong> at the airport counter or if you are crossing a land or sea border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
