Lost, expired, damaged or replacement passport
I lost my passport in Vietnam. What should I do?
Direct answer
Prioritize police loss documentation where required, contact your embassy for an emergency travel document, and prepare Vietnam immigration departure processing if your stay is also expired or ending.
Important qualification
Sequence depends on whether your visa/permitted stay is still valid. Clearly state VietExit is independent and does not issue visas, fines, exit permissions or government decisions.
What can change this
Imminent flights, expired stays, and retained passports raise urgency.
Safe next step
Start a VietExit assessment and Immigration Report with old passport details if known.
Verify with humans / official channels
Follow embassy and immigration instructions; escalate urgent departures to a coordinator.
