You don't have to declare unless it's $7,000 or over.

If you are bringing over $7,000 make sure you declare it. They will confiscate your money if they find out.

Welcome to Vietnam.

You can bring $10,000 dollars OUT of America without declaring it. If you bring more and get caught without the declaration form, ICE will seize ALL of the money you are carrying.

You can bring $7000 (USD) INTO Viet Nam without declaring it. I don't think they care if you bring $1,000,000 IN. If you expect to take more than $7000 OUT of Viet Nam, you had better have a declaration form proving how much you brought into the country. You CANNOT take out more than you brought in.

Since you are only bringing $3000, you don't have to worry about a thing. The Customs form you will fill out before you land in Viet Nam is very easy to understand and is written in Viet and English.

I hate to disagree with Ky, but the Customs officials in both Viet Nam and America have the right to do pretty much anything they want. They represent the government.

Enjoy your trip.

No not usually, you will have to fill out a customs declaration form on arrival,or on the plane before you arrive.You will answer NO in the tick box as you are have less than 7000 usd.

Remember any customs in any country can always check how much money you are bringing either in or out of there country,that's why I say not usually,and as long as you are not telling a lie you will have no problems.

In Vietnam there is no limit to the amount you can bring in, the only thing that is very important is that you declare anything over 7000 usd. Should you not declare this money and they find out they will take it of you.

do you mean the place of departure? But either way the answer is NO. The only thing is you need to fill out a custom declaration from on your flight to Saigon from HK or Taiwan for example. You just have to say how much you bring in. You can bring in as much or as little as you want. They don't have the effing right to double check you to make sure your testimony is true. You can say $1000 they don't know and don't care!

Don't tell them the exact amount you are bringing, if you do they might make you pay taxes.
