Goods eligible for VAT refund include: shoes, watches, clothes, cosmetics, handbags, personal belongings...

Thus, after a period of interruption due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, from the end of 2022, immigration activities have been restored, so VAT refunds on goods brought by outgoing foreign visitors and oversea Vietnamese residents have been increasing again.
