COVID-19 UPDATE: LATEST BOARDING AND QUARANTINE REQUIREMENTS FOR INBOUND TRAVELLERS FROM VIETNAM (FROM AUGUST 9)
In view of the latest development in COVID-19 epidemic situations, the Hong Kong SAR Government has adjusted its border control measures for overseas inbound travellers based on "vaccine bubble". The new measures will take effect next Monday (August 9).
Under the new measures, Vietnam will be categorised as medium-risk places. Only Hong Kong residents and fully vaccinated non-Hong Kong residents are allowed to board flights for Hong Kong. All inbound travellers are required to comply with stringent quarantine measures and repeated testing. Three basic requirements have to be complied with:
(a) Before boarding, to present:
(i) a negative result proof of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based nucleic acid test for COVID-19 conducted within 72 hours before the scheduled time of departure;
(ii) confirmation of room reservation at a Designated Quarantine Hotel (DQH) for the required compulsory quarantine duration.
(b) Upon arrival, subject to "test and hold" arrangement at the airport
(c) Upon confirmation of negative test result, board designated transport arranged by the Hong Kong SAR Government to go to a DQH to undergo compulsory quarantine
Details of the latest boarding, quarantine and testing arrangements here (refer to Group B specified places) and the infographic for your easy reference.

As the global situation continues to evolve, the Hong Kong SAR Government will adjust the boarding and quarantine requirements to manage the risk of case importation when necessary. Any changes to the grouping of specified places according to the risk levels and the relevant measures will be updated in this webpage: https://www.coronavirus.gov.hk/eng/inbound-travel.html#quarantinemeasuresofinbound.
