Prescription Glasses → Vietnam

No restrictions on personal eyewear

Details

Personal prescription glasses are unrestricted entering Vietnam for the wearer's own use; Vietnam Customs treats them as routine personal effects requiring no declaration on the Customs Declaration Form. Two pairs plus one spare clear without question. Frames carried with retail blister packaging in quantities of five or more may trigger questions about commercial intent; the optometrist's prescription or original retail receipt clears the doubt.
