Hey man! Just flew my drone in Ba Na Hills with no problem several times, so i want to thank you to encourage me for that! Nobody Cared. Cheers!

[@alrightanton]

Oh glad to hear that things went smoothly! Vietnam in some cases is quite a lot about “doing and accepting things that make sense”. So like with a drone if it doesn’t endanger anyone and doesn’t annoy anyone most of the time no one will really care!

[@maddyc503]

any issue at Danang Airport?

[@alrightanton]

No not really. I think n it partially comes from the fact that simply owning a drone is fully legal in Vietnam. So just carrying around you can’t be considered as an offence

Just stumbled across this. I went to Vietnam in Sep of 2022 and carried my drone with me. I got a little bit of confrontation with security at Da Nang airport when they saw my drone in my backpack. I told them I was aware of the drone "rules" in Vietnam and promised I wouldn't fly until I was in compliance with the law. That seemed to smooth his feathers. That, and the fact that my Vietnamese wife was with me and he got some "coffee money". I think it was all for show. Once we got to my sister n law's place, which is in the countryside, I was able to fly pretty much anywhere. Here is some drone footage of the nearby country where we stayed. Going back again in Feb 2024 and will probably be a little bit more adventurous. I was a bit paranoid flying in a foreign country and knowing how things work in Vietnam. I think Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries to visit and I can't wait to see more of the country. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baq5mauvrLFqntksi=-Ys8XyQLurd_4YNh

[@alrightanton]

Nice shots man! Yeah I've flown my drone in a number of places now, Hue, Hoi An, Da Nang, Ninh Binh, Hanoi, Ha Giang, Nha Trang, Da Lat and others. Generally I've never had any problems about my drone. Sometimes some guys wouldn't want me to fly their drones around their proterty/temples. Vin Pearl seems to have a rather strict rule about drone flying and wouldn't allow them on their premises. But generally it's been a smooth sailing!

[@gannamorgachova7807]

Ok, I really dig the script in this video! I love it that there is so much information about the city to accompany the great footage.

Hi :) Did you had to obtain a license for your drone? Did they make you any fun story at the airport or security check?

[@alrightanton]

Hey Andrea, nopes, no one ask for a license. I think you need it if you’re doing big commercial shoots. But for a smaller scale, as they call “recreational” flights no one seems to bother. The airport didn’t bother me either. I’ve got a bigger drone now, and yet still no questions asked!

[@Vinhnguyen-mv6py]

Hey do they ask you any question at the airport, when you bring a drone to Vietnam?

[@alrightanton]

Hey hey, nope, no questions! It might have been because my drone is under 249 grams. But generally they didn't seem to be bothered by it. I would be more careful with a bigger drone.

[@vinoymichael645]

Hi there ! Did u apply for flying licence before coming to Vietnam ?? I saw somewhere that it costs almost 200-300$ to get the permission

[@alrightanton]

Hey there. Yeah I saw that too. As far as I understood that fee is for big commercial shoots, while recreational, small scale shoots don’t require that payment. I’m reality I suspect very few people pay that money for even commercial stuff.

Which app do you use to check restrictions? I am going to Vietnam on July and I want to know if I can travel with my drone from Spain. I have a mini 3 pro. Thanks for the video.

[@alrightanton]

I used the DJI Fly app. You can use it to look through the map and see which zone are o good for flying, they are usually colour coded. DJI mini 3 pro is a small size drone so should be good for flying in Vietnam. There’s a very vague regulation of flying in and out. So far I haven’t heard about anybody getting their drone confiscated at the border. But it’s Vietnam things can be quite unpredictable here.

[@sahiljain748]

Hey, I’m headed to Vietnam next week. Any tips on how to pack the drone to avoid confiscation by the airport authorities?

[@alrightanton]

I never experienced any issues with it. Neither when the drone is in my carry on luggage nor when it is checked in. There is a restriction for big drones, but by big I mean those that are over 5 kilograms like DJI Inspire, for that yes, but that's a bit of a special occasion.

[@Linhtran-o6z]

Great video Anton. Di you have to buy permit to fly the drone? or did you have issue with the government at airport?

[@alrightanton]

Heya, no, I’ve never really had any problems with flying a drone in Vietnam. Right now the government doesn’t really control this much, there are restricted zones around airports and some other important locations, but generally it’s pretty easy and safe

Hi, amazing info, i want to know how did you got your permit to fly drone ? I am travelling next weekend and i want to know where to apply and what’s the procedure?

[@alrightanton]

Hey hey, nope I didn’t. I did my research and apparently you can get a permit for a commercial flight. Then you kinda arrange a date of shooting, several hundred USD and fly. While just amateur drone flights are not really restricted. There are some spots where you cannot do it for obvious reasons like airports or city centers with embassies. But the rest appeared to be fine…

Yeah I only flew out of the Da Nang airport so don't know whether they would really bother about it. But to be honest it's never been an issue. Again i think size might play a crucial role here, I'm flying my DJI Mini 2, it's tiny, so I don't think they are bothered much...

I went to Ha Noi, HCM, & Da Nang without any issue carrying my drone.

Heya, no I didn’t make any permission docs to fly my drone. At this moment Vietnamese government doesn’t enforce that and only limits the flights in the certain areas. I think you can get a permit but it works in a day by day principle and costs around 300$ per day. I think that is made for big commercial shoots😅

There's also a military array on Monkey Mountain just up behind Lady Buddha. I got warned by some locals not to take my drone up there as the military had no problems confiscating it. I also think ( not sure) there is some kind of signal interference that comes from the military array, although it appears you had no issues. Hai van pass is spectacular for drone footage.

Oh really? I actually wanted to drive there but then they said that I am not allowed to go through on a fully automatic bike, like it’s too steep for it. Shame though, there must be a really nice view from it.

Did you need a permit to fly in Da Nang? Or to fly near the lady buddha?

[@alrightanton]

Hey Carl, no I didn’t have a permit. I did a brief research of it and as it looks Vietnam doesn’t really do drone licenses yet. They have a special daily drone permit which I think costs about 300$ per day but that as far as I understood it is for commercial shooting for big companies, I imagine film companies would do that. While for amateurs the rule of thumb would be to fly safe, not disturb the people, you know the common sense things. There’re also flight restrictions near airports and government buildings but that’s like as everywhere. I’ve seen comments to this video that if you ride past lady Buddha deeper into that peninsula you wouldn’t be able to fly your drone anymore because there’s like a military outpost there. But that’s way far away from the temple.

[@thumtlnguyen3626]

Most European tourists say Bana Hills destroyed the natural beauty or a weird copy of medieval French architecture. In fact, the owner did hire French architects to draw the plan and the style. The hills are not built to target European tourists. Not all Asian tourists have the patience to go through interviews for visas to Europe and Europe is an expensive destination. In the last 10 years, European and North American tourists count less than 8% of international tourists to Vietnam. Before Covid, 18 million tourists visited Vietnam in 2019. Bana Hills has been a successful tourist destination since its opening and 98% of international tourists who visit Bana Hills are Asian tourists. More French castles style have been built and are near completion proving the owner's business plan is a success.

[@alrightanton]

Well that is your opinion eh? I think you're doing a wrong thing trying to force me to think like you. You can't do that.

Replica...is happened everywhere...Rome take their architect design...some of them from Middle East (Asia) also...and refine in a better version... then other countries..replica also...don't be too ignorant, errogan...I guess...unless you are atheist,..if you are belief in God...then we are all the son, daughters of God...Asian ( non white) can't take replica from Europe...look back the History...where is Tea, China wears...firework...come from...???

[@alrightanton]

Hahaha well comparing Roman architecture to Vin corporation creativity is a bit of a stretch😂😂😂 I have no objections about genuine and authentic architecture that happens to incorporate styles of other countries, I’m fine with that. Like city centre of Hanoi with all that old French architecture looks marvelous. The other things is when a corporation decides to copy style of another country just for the profit purposes. Not saying tit is bad, everyone needs to earn money. But that certainly does not attract me. Same as if my government decided to build a Vietnamese village. I don’t think I’d be interested in that either.

If you intend to fly a drone you should obtain a license which will inform you of the rules. You should not fly a drone within 5 km of any airport! Same applies to a motorcycle license without one you are not insured! I am just flew into Danang with my drone without comment from customs. I would be careful of offering to pay any official as bribery is a very serious offence!

[@alrightanton]

I own a motorbike incense which didn’t stop the local police from demanding a bribe. Not gonna go into details but yeah, owning official docs in Vietnam doesn’t always mean that no one will try to get something from you. With airports the drone app won’t let you take off any near of them. Maybe with a side app you could do that but I wouldn’t recommend that especially in the restricted areas. But did you end up obtaining that license?
