Hi friends! 👋 I just returned from an exciting shopping trip in Vietnam – and I’m still buzzing from all the great buys! From beauty products and fashion to unique local souvenirs and electronics, Vietnam is a shopper’s paradise. But here’s a tip many international visitors might not know: you can actually claim a tax refund on your shopping in Vietnam!
That’s right – with Vietnam’s Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS), eligible tourists can get a refund on the Value-Added Tax (VAT) paid on purchases from participating stores. So, if you’re planning a shopping spree in Vietnam, don’t miss this opportunity to save. Let me guide you through everything you need to know – from how the refund process works to how you can claim it easily before flying home. ✨💼💵
🧾 Tax Refund and Exemption in Vietnam
When shopping in Vietnam, you’ll often notice that prices include the 10% Value-Added Tax (VAT), which is applied to most goods and services.
But here’s the great news: International tourists can get a refund on this tax for eligible purchases made at participating stores under Vietnam’s Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS). 🙌
That means:
✅ More budget for another round of phở or bánh mì 🍜
✅ Extra beauty products or handicrafts to take home 💅
✅ And more unique souvenirs for your family and friends 🎁
💡 Value-Added Tax (VAT) in Vietnam
Vietnam’s VAT is set at 10%, and it applies to many common purchases, including:
🛍️ Fashion and accessories
📱 Electronics and gadgets
💄 Beauty and skincare products
🍬 Snacks and local treats
🥤 Non-alcoholic drinks
You might not notice it at first, but the VAT can quietly add up—especially when shopping in popular places like Saigon Centre, Lotte Department Store, or Aeon Mall.
🧠 Tip: Look out for stores with the “VAT Refund for Tourists” logo, and always confirm if the displayed price includes VAT. Most stores do, but it’s smart to double-check!
📜 Vietnam’s Current Tax Refund System – What’s Eligible?
In Vietnam, tax refunds for international tourists fall under the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS), and only specific items are eligible. Here’s a clear breakdown of what qualifies:
1. General Goods
This includes items such as clothing, electronics, souvenirs, accessories, and other non-consumable products.
Conditions:
- Minimum spend: VND 2 million (in a single receipt) at a participating store.
- Purchases must be made within 60 days before your departure from Vietnam.
- Items must be taken out of the country within this time frame.
- You must depart from a designated international airport such as Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City), Noi Bai (Hanoi), Da Nang, or Phu Quoc.
2. Consumable Goods
Some consumables, such as packaged snacks or sealed personal care products, may be eligible for refund – but they must be unused and carried out of Vietnam in your checked or carry-on luggage.
Important Notes:
- Refunds apply only to purchases made at approved TRS retailers – look for shops displaying the “VAT Refund for Tourists” logo.
- You must present the items, original receipts, completed VAT refund form, and your passport at the refund counter before check-in.
- ⚠️ Not all shops allow combining receipts or refund both item categories, so always check with the cashier or look for the TRS signage before you buy!

🔁 Tax Refund Procedures – How to Claim It in Vietnam
Source: Vibrant Finsery
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you claim your VAT refund in Vietnam:
🛍️ At the Store:
- Shop at a participating Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) retailer. Look for the “VAT Refund for Tourists” logo.
- Inform the cashier that you plan to claim a tax refund.

- Keep all your tax refund documents and receipts safe and organized—preferably in a pouch or folder for easy access.
🛫 At the Airport:
- Arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight, as the refund process can take some time.
- Head to the Customs Inspection Counter before check-in to verify your goods. Present your passport, receipts, refund forms, and the actual items you purchased. Customs may inspect them.
- After customs approval, proceed to the VAT Refund Counter, usually located in the departure area after immigration.
- Depending on the airport, your refund will be processed either in cash (Vietnamese Dong) or credited to your credit card.
🧠 Tip: Refund counter procedures and operating hours may vary by airport, so it’s a good idea to check in advance. Keep your goods and documents in your carry-on for easy inspection.

As a frequent traveler who has experienced numerous hotels across the globe, Eastin Grand Hotel Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City stands out as a remarkable choice for both business and leisure trips. Having stayed here multiple times, I can confidently say it consistently delivers a top-notch experience.
The hotel's prime location is a significant advantage. It's conveniently situated just a 10-15 minute drive from Tan Son Nhat International Airport
, making transitions smooth after long flights. While not in the very heart of District 1, it offers easy access to the city center and key attractions like the War Remnants Museum and Independence Palace, with taxis and Grab services readily available.
The service is truly exceptional. The staff is highly efficient, professional, and courteous. Check-in and check-out processes are always swift and hassle-free
. What impressed me greatly is the multilingual proficiency of the faculty; they are not only fluent in English but some also converse comfortably in Chinese, which is immensely helpful for international guests.
Accommodations are spacious and well-appointed. The rooms are elegantly furnished with modern amenities, including comfortable beds, minibars, refrigerators, and complimentary Wi-Fi. While some guests note that certain areas of the hotel show slight signs of age, the rooms are maintained very cleanly. A minor point some travelers mention is that the air conditioning can be quite powerful.
Dining options are a highlight. The breakfast buffet is extensive and delicious, featuring a wide variety of choices from Vietnamese pho and Western pastries to sushi and fresh fruits. The hotel houses several restaurants, including Tung Garden for Chinese cuisine and Cafe Sai Gon for international dishes, ensuring diverse culinary experiences throughout the day.
For relaxation and productivity, the facilities are outstanding. The outdoor swimming pool is perfect for a refreshing dip or some laps, and the well-equipped fitness center allows you to maintain your workout routine. Business travelers will appreciate the executive lounge and the comprehensive business center with meeting rooms.
In conclusion, Eastin Grand Hotel Saigon excels in comfort, convenience, and service. It's a hotel I return to without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend to fellow travelers seeking a reliable and enjoyable stay in Ho Chi Minh City.DariJPY 10,875

This was our first time in Vietnam, and we were lucky to stay at this excellent hotel. From the start, the hotel impressed us. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. They always explained things to us and showed us around. They did their best to meet our requests. I want to mention the free drinks, too.
The location is very convenient. It is away from noise and within walking distance of many interesting places. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and everything in it was in good condition. The only problem was the television, which sometimes had issues.
Breakfast was a complete delight, offering both European and Asian cuisine. There were a lot of delicious pastries and fruits. The waiters and waitresses were very polite and always happy to tell us about the food or drinks we wanted.DariJPY 21,396

Beautiful hotel located right in District 1. Was a short walk to a large number of tourist attractions, such as the walking street, the cafe apartments, and some amazing french architecture. District 1 is a bit more expensive on the day to day though, so if you are planning a long trip in HCMC, I would recommend bouncing around a little, especially for food as the street food around here wasn't that great.
The hotel service is exceptional, and you really feel like an honoured guest. Service with a smile at all times! The breakfast is good quality, and I particularly enjoyed sampling the array of coffees they had.
The facilities were present, but the pool is in an internal courtyard, so doesn't really give any views. The rooftop bar has a decent view, but the cocktails were not particularly good for a 5 star hotel. I would recommend the bar management do some taste-testing of their staples!
Overall, though, a great experience for those who want to be in the heart of District 1.DariJPY 22,302

The room was very spacious and the facilities including mattress were of quality better than other 4 star hotels. Free minibar and high tea also a plus.
Everything was perfect for us as the room assigned was very well located. The same just might not be the case for other room types or those on the first few floors. I’d recommend this for younger couples, i think it’ll be great.DariJPY 30,104

Really excellent service, the lobby is very pleasant, the location is really convenient and good. The breakfast is full of good things but the raw materials are mediocre and the cooks are bad, the fried rice is tasteless. In my opinion, the cooking teams that prepare the food need to learn to cook. The breakfast room is full of rude tourists who shout or just take up space to sit. Now for the Room it self; Very very small rooms, 20 square meters per couple, really tiny. The pool was closed for use due to the season. And the rooftop is ugly and boring. Would I stay there again? If I stay alone, maybe. Overall, the hotel is not bad for a single person. It's just a shame that there are no windows in the rooms because it's suffocating. Claustrophobic, the bathrooms need to be converted to regular showers. 7 on our indexDariJPY 9,128

A short 1 minute walk to the closest MRT stop (Ba Son), it is very convenient to get around especially HCM district 1
The room is spacious and comfortable, however we are not a fan of the bathroom because the door is a bit inconvenient.
The feast! Their breakfast are very good for their value. Fresh cook pho and variety of meat choices for everyone.
Swimming pool is okay, a bit confusing with the shower room (no proper sign)
Last but not least, the staffs! Very friendly and helpful. On the first night, we requested for an ice bucket, and the second night the same staff recognised us from our request (eg room number)

An excellent hotel! The breakfast was great, with extended hours. The service was truly outstanding; the bell staff were always ready to assist with luggage and open car doors. Upon checking out for the airport, I asked them to help book a taxi via an app. I was so pleasantly surprised that the moment they met the driver, they had already communicated my destination in the local language – this was incredibly thoughtful! Plus, when my child lost their swimming goggles, they were found very quickly. The beds were spacious enough for two adults and a nine-year-old child, and the front desk didn't charge any additional fees for our child's stay. The hotel is ideally located, just across the street from Ho Chi Minh's most famous pho. It's centrally positioned in District 1, making shopping within easy walking distance, and most other attractions are just a minimum taxi fare away.DariJPY 25,352

However, no roses without thorns. I ordered and received an excellent room with a window. Unfortunately the window was a fixed window and could not open. I cannot sleep with the A/C on, hence a stuffy room. Suggest the hotel makes windows, which can be kipped.DariJPY 9,106

I eould like to provide feedback on my recent stay at your property. While I appreciated the hotel's excellent location in District 7, its proximity to District 1, and the convenience of being adjacent to a shopping mall, my overall experience was unfortunately very disappointing due to several significant issues.
Firstly, I found the photographs of the room on your booking platform to be highly misleading. I specifically selected and paid for a room that was advertised with a bathtub, which was a key factor in my decision to book. Upon arrival, I was assigned a room that not only lacked a bathtub but was also exceptionally small. This discrepancy between what was promised and what was provided is unacceptable.
Secondly, I encountered a serious issue with the management of my breakfast inclusion. I had confirmed a booking that included breakfast. However, when I arrived at the restaurant at 9:30 AM (well within the stated service hours, which end at 10:00 AM), your staff had no record of my breakfast entitlement. After I presented my receipt as proof, the staff member I interacted with was incredibly rude. Instead of an apology for the error, I was dismissively told, ”Ok, you only have 5 minutes to eat.” The mistake was entirely on the hotel's end, and the time spent verifying my booking—a process that should have been seamless—directly cut into the limited time I had to dine. This poor handling of the situation and the staff's impolite demeanor made what should have been a simple meal into a very frustrating experience.
Due to these issues—the misleading room description and the unprofessional service regarding the breakfast—my stay was profoundly unsatisfactory. The combination of these factors has led me to conclude that this will be my first and last stay at Oakwood Resident Saigon.DariJPY 13,748

I had a wonderful stay at The Odys Boutique Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. The location is excellent — it’s very close to one of the city’s attractions, the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, which makes sightseeing super convenient.
The hotel staff were all very friendly and polite, always greeting guests with a smile. I also really appreciated the free drinks and snacks available at the lobby, especially the ginger candies — a lovely touch!
Although my room didn’t have a window, it was clean, comfortable, and had no unpleasant smell. The breakfast buffet offered plenty of delicious options to choose from — definitely a great way to start the day.
There’s still a bit of room for improvement: the only mirror is inside the bathroom, so it would be more convenient if there were also a mirror in the bedroom area for doing skincare or makeup. The bathroom counter also has limited space for placing personal items. Additionally, while soap is provided, there isn’t a soap dish, which would be a nice addition.

🔥 Vietnam Tax Refund Tips
Source: iMoney.my
Here are some helpful tips I wish I had known before shopping in Vietnam – learn from my experience! 👇
🔖 Keep Your Passport Accessible
Always have your original passport ready when shopping at participating stores—you’ll need to show it to process your VAT refund paperwork.
🗃️ Stay Organized
Keep all your receipts, VAT refund forms, and purchase documents in one place. A small folder or pouch makes it easy and prevents anything from getting lost.
🛍️ Plan Your Purchases Wisely
Aim to spend VND 2 million or more in a single receipt at a TRS store to qualify for the refund. It’s better to make larger purchases at fewer stores than several small ones that won’t qualify.
⛔ Keep Your Goods Easily Accessible
Customs may inspect your purchases at the airport, so keep the items unpacked and in your carry-on luggage for quick access.
📍 Airport Refund Counters Are Your Backup
If you didn’t complete the refund process in-store, don’t worry. You can still claim your VAT refund at designated counters at airports like Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai, Da Nang, and Phu Quoc.
📱 Use a Translation App
While many staff are helpful, not everyone speaks English fluently. Apps like Google Translate can make communication faster and smoother.
💳 Use a Credit Card with No Foreign Transaction Fees
Pay with a card that offers good exchange rates and no foreign fees—you’ll get better value than exchanging cash.
