 Visas are required for participants with passports from nearly all countries, including the United States, European Union, and African countries.  Registrants from the following countries do not need to obtain a visa prior to entering Vietnam: Denmark, Finland, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Norway, Singapore, Sweden, and Thailand. 

Participants are urged to contact the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate closest to them for up-to-date travel guidelines.  A list of Vietnam Embassies and Consulates is available here click for Embassies List.
