What Moving from Dubai to Vietnam Involves
Vietnam has become one of the most popular relocation destinations for Dubai-based expatriates — particularly Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, which host large international business communities in financial services, technology, manufacturing, and hospitality. Sea freight runs from Jebel Ali to Cat Lai port (Ho Chi Minh City) and to Haiphong (Hanoi). Vietnamese customs clearance by the General Department of Customs (GDC) under the Ministry of Finance typically adds 3–7 working days. Fusion has an established licensed customs broker network at both Cat Lai and Haiphong ports and manages all GDC documentation on your behalf.
Key requirements: a valid Vietnamese work permit or temporary residence card (TRC) is required for personal effects import relief. Without these documents, standard import duty and VAT apply. Fusion advises on all documentation requirements at survey stage and prepares every submission to GDC specifications.

Sea Freight to Cat Lai or Haiphong

Motor Vehicles to Vietnam
Fusion ships cars and motorcycles from Dubai to Vietnam by RoRo where the route offers it, or in a container, on their own or with your household goods, and handles the UAE side — export clearance, RTA deregistration and the export certificate. Import duty, tax and registration in Vietnam depend on the vehicle and your circumstances, so we check the current rules for your car at survey, before you commit to shipping it. See our Automobile Relocation page.
Pets to Vietnam
Vietnam requires a veterinary health certificate from an officially authorised UAE veterinarian, rabies vaccination certificate, microchipping to ISO standard, and an import permit from Vietnam’s Department of Animal Health (DAH). Fusion’s pet team manages all documentation and airline coordination.

Dubai to Vietnam — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before You Move
For personalised advice, or.
How long does it take to move from Dubai to Vietnam?
Sea freight runs from Jebel Ali to Cat Lai (Ho Chi Minh City) and to Haiphong (Hanoi); typical sea transit times are on our destinations overview. Add 3–5 days for UAE packing and export clearance, and 3–7 working days for Vietnamese GDC customs clearance.
Do I need a work permit or TRC to import my goods duty-free into Vietnam?
Yes. Personal effects import relief in Vietnam requires a valid work permit or temporary residence card (TRC). Without these, standard import duty and VAT apply. Fusion advises on documentation requirements and timing at survey stage — including the critical question of when your work permit will be issued relative to your shipment date.
What is Cat Lai port and when is Haiphong used instead?
Cat Lai is Vietnam’s primary container port, located in Ho Chi Minh City (southern Vietnam). Haiphong port serves Hanoi and northern Vietnam. Fusion selects the routing port based on your Vietnamese delivery destination. For HCMC and southern provinces, Cat Lai is used. For Hanoi and northern provinces, Haiphong is more efficient.
Can I ship my car from Dubai to Vietnam?
Fusion can ship a car from Dubai to Vietnam by RoRo where the route offers it, or in a container, and handles the UAE side — export clearance, RTA deregistration and the export certificate. Whether your particular car can be imported and registered in Vietnam, and at what cost, depends on the vehicle and your circumstances — we check Vietnam’s current rules for it at survey, before you commit to shipping it. See our Automobile Relocation page.
What size container do I need for a Dubai to Vietnam move?
A studio or 1-bedroom apartment typically fills 8–15 cubic metres — best suited to LCL groupage. A 2–3 bedroom property fills a 20ft container (approximately 25–28 cubic metres). Your Fusion move coordinator calculates exact volume during the pre-move survey.
Can I move my pets from Dubai to Vietnam?
Yes. Vietnam requires a veterinary health certificate from an officially authorised UAE veterinarian, rabies vaccination certificate, microchipping to ISO standard, and an import permit from Vietnam’s Department of Animal Health (DAH). Fusion’s pet relocation team manages all documentation and airline coordination.
What items cannot be shipped to Vietnam?
Prohibited items include weapons, narcotics, items infringing Vietnamese IP law, and politically sensitive materials. New electronics above a value threshold require declaration and may incur duty. Fusion screens every inventory against GDC guidelines before packing begins.
Does Fusion offer storage in Dubai if my Vietnam move is delayed?
Yes. Climate-controlled storage is available at our Dubai facility. If your work permit, TRC, or accommodation in Vietnam is delayed, your goods can be held securely and dispatched when you’re ready. Moving to Vietnam? You May Also Need
