Local regulations

Vietnam

Licensing:

  • saltwater-recreational — residents Fishing in Vietnam is governed by the Law on Fisheries No. 18/2017/QH14 and Decree 26/2019/ND-CP. The system is built around vessel licensing: any fishing vessel with a maximum length of 6 metres or more must hold a fishing licence, and inshore-vessel quotas are set by the provincial People’s Committee while offshore-vessel quotas are set by MARD. There is no separate national recreational angling licence; small-scale shore and small-boat (<6 m) angling is not vessel-licensed, but local and Marine Protected Area (MPA) rules may still apply. Confirm with the provincial fisheries sub-department before fishing., non-residents Visiting and foreign anglers are within the scope of the Law on Fisheries. Foreign organisations and individuals face additional restrictions and permitting for fishing in Vietnamese waters; recreational/sport access is normally arranged through a locally licensed operator or resort. Marine Protected Areas and many coastal zones have their own access rules. Always confirm requirements with the operator and the provincial fisheries authority (under MARD / the Directorate of Fisheries) before fishing.
