Vietnam entry tips: 1) One-way tickets are common but check current visa-free duration (45 days for RF).
2) Immigration officers may ask about the purpose of the visit; stick to 'tourism'. 3) If carrying substantial hardware, do not mention work or business activity to avoid customs/tax issues; emphasize personal use. 4) Always carry physical proof of family relations (birth certificate) if traveling with a child with a different surname.
