Why this matters
Before flying in Vietnam, move any power bank out of your checked luggage and into your cabin bag.
Vietnam requires all passengers on flights in the country to carry power banks in cabin baggage, not checked luggage, as of July 1, 2026. VnExpress International reported the regulation as part of broader aviation safety measures to prevent onboard fires caused by lithium batteries.

Before you reach the airport, check that any power bank is in your carry-on or daypack, not in a bag going to the hold. That is the one practical change this rule creates for anyone flying in Vietnam.
