Starting September 15, 2025<\/strong>, passengers flying on domestic routes in Vietnam will be required to use VNeID (Vietnam\u2019s National Electronic Identification app)<\/strong> or their chip-based Citizen ID to pass through airport security. This change, based on government directive Ch\u1ec9 th\u1ecb s\u1ed1 24\/CT-TTg<\/em>, aims to improve both security and efficiency<\/strong> at airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we explain what VNeID is, what changes travelers can expect, the implementation timeline, and tips for preparing for your next domestic flight in Vietnam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What Is VNeID?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

VNeID<\/strong> is Vietnam\u2019s official digital identification system<\/strong> that allows citizens and residents to authenticate their identity electronically. It integrates personal data, biometrics (such as fingerprints and facial recognition), and government-issued ID information into one secure digital account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VNeID is already being used in multiple public services and transportation systems. With the new regulation, it will now become an essential part of air travel security checks<\/strong> in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. What Changes for Domestic Air Travel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From September 15, 2025<\/strong>, the process of passing through security at Vietnamese airports will shift toward digital verification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key changes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • VNeID-based check-in and security<\/strong>: Passengers can use their VNeID account or chip-based Citizen ID card to pass through security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Automated kiosks and e-gates<\/strong>: Airports will deploy self-service kiosks and automated gates that verify passengers\u2019 digital ID and biometrics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Simplified procedures<\/strong>: For passengers without checked luggage, the entire process may be completed digitally, reducing waiting times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Exceptions<\/strong>: Passengers with checked baggage, those requiring special assistance, or those on special flights may still need manual verification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    3. Implementation Timeline and Coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Date<\/th>Implementation Details<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    Sept 15, 2025<\/strong><\/td>Domestic passengers must use VNeID or a chip-based Citizen ID to pass through airport security.<\/td><\/tr>
    Oct 2025<\/strong><\/td>Biometric verification connected to VNeID will be available at all Vietnamese airports.<\/td><\/tr>
    Dec 1, 2025<\/strong><\/td>For passengers without checked baggage, the entire boarding process can be completed digitally via kiosks and VNeID.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The new system will apply at all airports nationwide<\/strong>, including major hubs like Hanoi (Noi Bai), Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat), and Da Nang<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. How to Prepare as a Passenger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To ensure smooth travel under the new system, passengers should prepare in advance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Register for VNeID<\/strong>: Those who haven\u2019t registered should download the VNeID app and complete the setup with biometric data and ID verification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Check your ID card<\/strong>: Only chip-based Citizen IDs are compatible with the automated systems. Older IDs may not work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Keep your phone ready<\/strong>: If using the app, make sure your phone is charged and has internet access. Carry a power bank for backup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Allow extra time<\/strong>: Expect longer lines initially as passengers get used to the new system. Arriving 2 hours early is recommended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Know the exceptions<\/strong>: If you have checked luggage or special needs, you may still need traditional manual processing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      5. Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Vietnam\u2019s adoption of VNeID for domestic flights<\/strong> marks a significant step toward digital transformation and smarter airports<\/strong>. Starting September 15, 2025, domestic passengers will need to present their VNeID account or chip-based Citizen ID at security checkpoints, with full nationwide rollout by October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For travelers, this means faster and safer airport experiences\u2014but also the need to prepare in advance. Make sure you have your VNeID registered, your phone charged, and your documents ready<\/strong> before heading to the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With this change, flying domestically in Vietnam will become more efficient, secure, and aligned with global digital travel trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
