I had unboxed the 16 pro in the shop itself and asked them to check and apply the case and glass. At the airport the officer saw my unboxed phone box and just asked me to show the iphone which was in my pocket. He just matches the serial number with the vat refund bill post which I received my refund. So there is no rule of only sealed boxes beinh eligible for vat refund.
Thank you. Your instructions helped. I am back from Vietnam and got my iphone 15 pro max for INR 88000 after VAT refund. I took a chance and opened the seal on day 1 of Vietnam as I wanted to take lots of good quality photos. I put some chocolates into the box and sealed it again with some glue 😀. They did not check it properly and I got the refund. This was a risk but I took it. Just one correction to your instructions. Now if you are bringing the item in Cabin Baggage, you dont have to go to the first counter. They have created another window near MSB bank (Gate 31) which will check your item.
Bhia, if I buy iphone and Macbook from the same store, then do I need to generate 2 Tax invoices or just 1 tax invoice including both the items? And can I buy both from different-Different stores, will I still get the Vat refund?
Sir I just want to know that I bought an iPhone from Vietnam for my sister , I didnt wanted VAT refund so I opened the phone and I kept in in my phone but if I bring the box also with me in my checkin luggage there will be no problem in Delhi airport customs right? Can you please reply fast it's urgent ... Thank you and your content is very helpful...
VAT invoice alag se milega? Ya jo simple invoice denge usme hee VAT mention hoga? And second doubt box ko nahi kholna matlab? Kholke phone check bhi nahi karna store mein?
Bro the VAT refund can be claimed while leaving the country only right? Because I bought the phone from Hanoi and now I am taking a domestic flight and travelling to Danang and then to Ho Chi Minh within Vietnam. That means I can claim the refund only when I leave to India from Ho Chi Minh right? Also I am guessing the refund counters will be available only inside international terminal. Kindly confirm whethery understanding is correct.
yes during leaving... they will check passport and your return tickets..... international terminal of hanoi i have explored...for other airports try to confirm it from local authorities
Hi. Thanks for this informative video. I am planning Vietnam trip in end of March. I have some questions. Can you help me out… 1- How many new iPhones can we bring to India from Vietnam. 2- Should the box be opened before showing customs in India? Will there be a problem if the box is sealed pack?
The box should be a sealed pack if you want a VAT refund from the airport ...if you open it they will deny the VAT refund......also one Device i bought with no issues...if you want to bring more devices...you need to double check on that...
We bought 5 phone pro max w56 gb with icici and hdfc credit card they have to charge 3% credit card transection charge but they waved off and along with that we bought charger both we we got it for 1lakh 2 thousand at shop dunk.
1 Question- I purchased iphone 15 pro with seal pack and went for custom n refund too. Is it necessary ki mujhe waha se india hi fly krna hai wapis, main vat leke wapis hanoi airport se bhr nh aa skta? I mean mere pass 2 din or hai stay ke waha and maine purchase 2 din phle kr liya kya mai airport jaake claim kar skta hu VAT refund?
VAT refund you will only get when you complete security check ... then getting out of the airport not possible...plus i suggest Better talk with Vietnam customs they will better guide you...if you are not leaving the country
Thanks for the video. I have a few questions, can you please reply 1. While purchasing iPhone 16 pro, can I use my credit card ? What would you suggest credit card purchase or cash purchase. 2. Is the VAT counter open on Sunday ? I am planning to buy the phone on a Sunday and getting refund on the same day since my flight would be on Sunday. 3. When getting the refund, what currency should we get our refund in Vietnamese Dong or USD ? Thanks in advance
use forex credit card ....to bypass forex charges....2) on Sunday I guess it's open but confirm with the authorities 3) For refund tell them you need in USD...they will give
@@techavh thank you for the detailed response. Also how can I check with the authorities, can you give me an idea please. Also, if I buy the phone at ho chin minh city and claim refund at Hanoi airport, will that work ?
Hy bro thanks for video ,just want to ask how can i trust if there is iphone present im box ,if i do not open th box , what will i do then if there is any issue in iphone or there is no phone , but i want vat refund also
Bro is the phone exchange easy as I have an iPhone 13 4/128 gb. Please reply asap as I am going in a week and what a the approx prize of iPhone 15 pro 128 gb can i get it for 80k after vat refund
I am visiting Vietnam on 20th of july and thinking of purchasing iphone 15 will it be worth it ? And can u suggest me where to exchange currency like from inr to dong or vice versa where i will get the best rates?
only purchase iPhone pro variants. simple iPhone 15 is cheap in India. For dollar exchange I prefer gold shops. don't exchange at the airport. Horrible rates.
bro one doubt, we are of 4 people..each one of us wants to buy a phone..will it cause an issue from the custom end..and one more thing we are using same forex card for all 4 phone payment..please do respond
your passport number matters..in bill..4 people can buy 4 iPhone ...no issues...i suggest 4 bill kerana...for each person's name...for forex card you can use it...for all ..also if you are claiming VAT refund from airport...then 4 bills with different names ... recommended

Is vat refund counter available at Gate 31?
VAT invoice alag se milega? Ya jo simple invoice denge usme hee VAT mention hoga? And second doubt box ko nahi kholna matlab? Kholke phone check bhi nahi karna store mein?
yes VAT invoice document is different which airport authorities will submit. If you open the box then u are not eligible for VAT refund
@@techavh ok so I’ve to ask for 2 documents from the store? One is invoice and another one is VAT document? & custom will keep the VAT one? Right?
Hi what if we receive a damaged iPhone after opening the box?
then better open the device and leave VAT refund...this is a risk
Can one get the VAT refund from the airport and then travel back in the country instead of doing it while leaving?
i don't think so ..they check your flight tickets to your destination country
@@techavh What if we show tickets of a later date and come back?
Is exchange of old iPhone possible?
not sure
