Hello,I had incident that occurred at Tan Son Nhat Airport while I was departing Vietnam. After checking in my luggage, I proceeded to the security checkpoint. While standing in line, I was called to a control room where baggage is scanned.There were no illegal or prohibited items in my luggage. However, the employee asked me for money in order for my luggage to pass through. I found this request unusual and initially declined. She then insisted and suggested that I give 500,000 VND as a tip.In an effort to resolve the situation and continue with my departure, I opened my wallet intending to give a smaller amount (100,000 VND). While I was searching for smaller bills, the employee reached into my wallet and took 500,000 VND without my consent.I would like to know if this is standard practice, as it appeared inappropriate and concerning.

That’s awful. Didn’t happen to us….🤬
I passed through several Vietnamese airports, my luggage did have to be rescanned on a couple of occasions but I was never once asked for money!
Scam
Wait. 20 usd? Move on.
Wow, we have been there 5 times without my problems at all. They did confiscate my fish sauce leaving Phu Quoc though😘
Yeah how come they don’t do anything regarding this issues. It’s been there since the 1980s never changed
They will look anything to fine you. They took boarding pass until you pay around $100 at least usually
Never had any problems and we have been to Vietnamn 3 times and Will come back NeXT year
This is absolutely unacceptable. People needs NOT to give in to these obnoxious employees. Next time be loud and make a scene. They are afraid of that. Ask them loudly why? I’m sorry that you had to go through that.
Happened to me 2 days ago – for having too many nail polish bottles in my bag…. I offered coffee money in front of the airline guy who was accompanying me – gave $10 and was on my way…..
