Passport Validity Requirements: how it works in Vietnam — first-hand

Short answer
Russian citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months to enter Vietnam. Relying on leniency is a significant risk, so it is highly recommended to renew your passport before traveling to avoid denial of entry.

From real experience

For Russian citizens entering Vietnam, a valid passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity is generally required.
If your passport expires within this timeframe, you may face issues at immigration. While some anecdotal evidence suggests flexibility or reliance on return tickets and hotel bookings, it is a significant risk. Vietnamese immigration authorities have the final say. It is highly recommended to renew your passport before traveling to avoid potential denial of entry or being held at immigration for overstaying and facing penalties. If unable to renew, consult the Vietnamese embassy or consulate for the most current and official guidance.
