On April 10, the Ho Chi Minh City Police issued a notice recommending that individuals and enterprises active in the tourism sector—both domestic and international—strictly comply with the law. The authorities said some individuals and organizations have exploited policy laxity to commit violations including organizing, brokering entry, residence, and staying in Vietnam illegally.
Police said these actions run counter to the goal of sustainable tourism development and can harm the tourism environment. They also warned that such conduct may undermine the trust of international visitors and foreign partners. If not tightly controlled, the situation could erode Vietnam’s image as a safe and friendly destination and reduce the effectiveness of tourism stimulus policies.
Police noted that, under Decree 282/2025/NĐ-CP, acts of organizing, brokering, aiding, or concealing illegal exit/entry or residence may be penalized from 30–40 million dong, provided the conduct does not reach criminal liability.
In addition, Decree 348/2025/NĐ-CP provides that travel companies that cause guests to stay illegally will face similar penalties.
The Ho Chi Minh City Police emphasized that these violations could affect security and social order and may lead to related crimes such as underground labor and illegal residence. Authorities also warned that the conduct could harm the reputation of businesses and the nation’s image.
Police urged organizations and individuals to comply strictly with the law. They also called on businesses to tightly manage tourists and proactively detect and report violations.
