Normally you must register the drone in the defence ministry before you fly. In what district of Sai Gon you want to fly ?

Here is what I have found: https://uavsystemsinternational. ... vietnam-drone-laws/    &    https://www.hugoleenhardt.com/si ... -into-any-problems-

My issue is the conflicting reports. Some make it sound easy while others have me worried that my drone will be confiscated by customs as I enter Vietnam. Did you find any further information? I'm heading to Vietnam and Indonesia in October and am trying to understand the regulations well before I leave.

Did anyone receive any head way on this problem for us fellow drone users? I've expressed all avenues for applying for a permit to fly. I spoke with numerous of other travelers that say it's hit or miss. It's a 50/50 chance the drone could be confiscated, then same say they had no issues. I'm flying from Seoul, S. Korea -> Hanoi -> Nha Trang. Then departure is from Nha Trang -> Da Nang -> Seoul, S. Korea. Every comment or review I've seen, drone users hand carry their drone. But what if the drone has put in a hard shell case and put under the plane in checked baggage within my suitcase, would that cause an issue? I really want some drone footage, however, I don't want to risk having it confiscated because I'm arriving and departing from different airports. I've attempted to use google translate for the Ministry of Defense website to find the form. I've asked people for the form to submit. Others have stated they either sent an email to request for permission and no response. One person stated you can pay someone to do it for you, but not evidence or proof backing that or a referral. Use travelers/drone users need some head way on this! Can anyone share their experience here or help for that matter? Thanks!

I''m guessing you've completed you trip to Vietnam. Did you have any problems taking your drone into HCMC?  I'm leaving for Vietnam in 10 days taking my Mavic Pro with me. Hopefully I won't encounter any problems.
