Drone Laws From My Personal Experience
Countries where I’ve flown a drone
Along with the drone laws in each country, allow me to share my personal experience of flying drones in different countries. Below are the countries that I have personally flown my drone in, and can share my thoughts and anecdotes with you.
Hi, do you have information in bringing a Drone in Vietnam? We have a trip next week from HK to Ha Noi to Da Nang to Ho Chin and I’ve been reading confiscations are happening in Vietnam especially da nang. Thank you so much!
I personally have been to Vietnam twice but have never carried my drone for the same reason. The laws aren’t too clear and there have been cases of confiscation. But at the same time, during both my trips I’ve seen drones being flown in Hanoi and Hoi An. So, I’d say it’s probably safer not to carry, but you could get away with it.
