Tropical Cyclone Kalmaegi is expected to impact Vietnam in coming days. Heavy rain and dangerous winds are expected, which may cause flash flooding and landslides. Transport, including airport closures and flight cancellations, along with essential services, may also be affected. If you’re travelling, contact your airline or travel provider. Check media for updates and follow the instructions of local authorities (see ‘Safety’).

Penalties for drug offences include the death penalty and life imprisonment. Don’t use or carry illegal drugs and never carry parcels or luggage for others. Check your visa details carefully for errors (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Vietnam.
