Vietnam is classified as "orange" along with the US, Britain and other Asian countries in a travel guidebook released by the French government, which means vaccinated visitors from them no longer need to go into quarantine. They however need to furnish a negative PCR test no older than 72 hours or a negative antigen test no older than 48 hours.

For non-vaccinated people from these countries, only essential trips such as medical or family emergencies will be allowed with seven days of self-quarantine. Orange countries are those with a high rate of virus circulation or new virus variants.
